This online class teaches perspective at a beginner level and makes it easy to understand for anyone. It is taught by Matt Laskowski, who is a professional illustrator and designer. The first video starts off with basic terms that he’ll be using in the class as he draws. Such terms as “picture plane” and “horizon line.” There’s a total of 9 classes in this class that slowing delve into how prespectives work and becoming more advanced with each class. But at the same time as things continue to get harder, he makes it easy to understand and keep up with, giving a visual and audio lesson.
-Quotes-
"Sometimes you may need to make marks or indications of objects outside of the picture plane in order to understand their scale and spacial relationship to each other."
"The vainishing point is the spot where most details in your scene aim to merge to. Not all vanishing points will exist on the horizion point, but in most cases 1 or 2 will for the most basic prespective set ups."

I went through a couple of classes to find one I enjoyed. I found this class about how to draw hands and it's taught by Patricia Caldeira. The reason why I really enjoy this class is because it's more simple with how hands are drawn and not realistic. I want to learn a more basic way of drawing hands first before I get into doing anything aggresively realistic. This doesn't focus on different prespective of hands exactly but more or so the basics of hands, how you should start out, and later figuring how to add in details. It also teaches you how to draw different hands such as masculine ones, feminine ones, and those of different ages.
-Quotes-
"We're gonna start by drawing ontop of our image so we can understand how our shapes are. This is always a good exercise when you are learning if you're not sure how to drawing something, take a picture of it, draw the basic shapes ontop and then you just need to practice them."
"Don't be afraid of drawing hands I know they can be very scary to draw, but the thing is, first of all, everyone has different hands. As you can see this my hand and they are very weird. They behave in a very weird way, the fingers are short, there are people who have longer fingers for example, thinner figners, everyone is different so feel free to study several types of hands."

Today, all I did was draw, not really to learn but more or so for fun. This helped me figure out things I wanted to learn and decide what was more important or less important to me. Art is something I do for fun so I know for a fact I don't want an exactly realistic style but something fun for me. I figured out what I wanted to do but also let me shrink the amount of research I need to do. Enjoy my anime esc style along with other random ones I have.
