This time it's about proportion and perspective and where to find tutorials and guides to help you overcome this demon. ( if it's something you haven't conquered yet! ^-^ )
The perspective & proportion thing can be scary to take on (it scares the muffins out of me *-*), but once you know the basic laws and rules you'll have it beat - you can be the best artist in the world but if you can't get to grips with 'the two P's' it'll hinder your ability to show the world how good you are . (... I mean, it's fine to have a wonky room if you're painting Alice in the 'shrink me/grow me' part of the story, but usually things aren't meant to look like that.... and having a body in the correct proportions will just make it look so much better!
)
Below you will find links to deviant tutorials as well as a handful of other sites that may prove useful. The links cover learning how to get good angles, perspectives and proportions – in architecture as well as the human (and animal) body - worth taking a look at even if it's just for brushing up on old skills.
