Perspective Practice

I’ve been realizing that figure drawing becomes much stronger when it’s studied side-by-side with perspective. When you train both at the same time, you stop treating the figure like a flat shape on paper, and you start seeing it as an actual form moving through space.

Perspective forces you to think about:

where the figure stands
how their weight sits on the ground plane
how limbs move toward or away from the viewer
how volumes wrap around the body

And when you combine that with figure drawing, everything feels more solid, believable, and grounded. You’re not just copying anatomy—you’re placing a person inside a real environment.

That’s why I practice both simultaneously: it gives me a stronger sense of space, form, and depth every time I draw the figure.
