Marshall is back and ready to teach! Save 25% on his premium perspective course during the presale - proko.com/perspective

[@illiria2000]

Will this course teach you also 4-5-6 points as well?

[@ProkoTV]

@@illiria2000 Yep!

[@illiria2000]

So since I have a good understanding of 1-2-3 point perspective, I can skip to just buying part 2 of the course?

[@ProkoTV]

@@illiria2000 We'll be discussing concepts wider than just those three types of perspective and will cover the concept that go into other more complicated types in part 1. Peter Han in the first part of this course will be of particular interest to you if you've mostly got a hold of up to three point.

[@illiria2000]

And once paying for the course, do I have access to the videos off of my own computer? Meaning I can download them to learn from on my own time?

Marshall..... I love you. As a person.... As an artist.... As a teacher.... As a mentor.... As an entertainer.... You are appreciated, Sir. Truly. Thank you. Not just for being you, but for being willing to openly share yourself and your knowledge with anyone willing to learn. Thank you.

That animation killed me with laugh 😂

[@camileet]

Seriously, I never thought I'd see myself laughing and ENJOYING a video about perspective!

[@bonnienm8491]

WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS VIDEO

[@fioreirving]

LOVE the Rocky and Bullwinkle style animation. I’ve always wanted to do something like one of those skits.

[@TheJoshLange]

It's done so masterfully. Absolutely genius

[@seanramsey]

Our animator Cody Shank is a true master of art and comedy :D

[@SheigonSheffield]

Finally! After almost 10 years of asking for it and with Marshall's perspective course basically becoming a meme on the channel, we're finally going to be able to learn from him. I had already lost hope.

[@SheigonSheffield]

And with that said, now that we're finally going to have Marshall and we're not settling for anything less, it's time to start dreaming of a free coloring course for proko-level artists

[@SheigonSheffield]

(Sorry for my english writing)

[@BionicRambutan]

Found my next class. Now I can a listen to Marshall’s pleasant voice teaching me something else.

[@tanishqvedak1862]

i really must say, the copywriting here is excellent! good writing in ads is a lost art.. that that hasn’t been lost here. the writing here is very reminiscent of pamphlets you would find 50 years ago. back then, ads for courses were written to explain and make people feel empowered, these days ads for courses focus on making you feel bad/stupid- but not this one! again, the writers did a really good job on this one!

[@Darko1.0]

I don't think I've laughed at a cartoon that much since I was a kid, this is like christmas morning for me / us.

[@anaxagoras9812]

Thanks for you guys educating a whole generation of artists, and with such great quality too. Can't wait for October.

[@logbook-earth2023]

That animation is so fun😂

[@channel_weidu]

that animation was awesome. actually every part of the video is awesome.

can we please get more videos from Marshall in the future. He teaches so well !!!

[@shottyfins]

I didn't think I would enjoy a video about a perspective course so much. That animation story had me laughing. I was on the fence about pre-ordering this since I just started the Drawing Basics course, but now think I'm ready to pull the trigger and pre-order the full course.

[@ProkoTV]

This course is more packed with animations and side gags than almost any other course of ours. If you liked the pacing of this video, the course is VERY similar (just packed with more information).

[@yustar91]

OMG!! FINALLY FINALLY, ITS HERE 🎉🎉🎉🎉

In this course, do you also teach when to use a certain kind of perspective? I'm having trouble figuring that out.

Yep! As Marshall breaks down how each type.of perspective works, you'll gain an understanding of how and when you may apply different types of perspective and for what purposes.

Some do. But others feature Marshall as you see him in this video.

@@ProkoTV Cool. Marshall's books are just as great a background but you can't beat the Proko white for concentration! Either way, CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS COURSE. Thanks Team Proko

[@youneedtocalmdown.]

I might not be able to afford it right now but would love to have it a few months later. Would the recorded course be available after its initial run?

[@ProkoTV]

The course is all comprised of pre-recorded lessons. It will be available as long as Proko exists.

[@HiHi-oc3gh]

How much of this course will be posted here? Will it be like the drawing basics course where the majority of the lessons will be posted except for all of the projects and critiques?

[@ProkoTV]

We'll share free lessons from it but it will be less than Drawing Basics. Still a good amount shared here on KZbin, though.

[@esausantibanez3702]

Awesome! Plsss include in detail spheres in perspective as well as their cast shadows! (Shadows overall) I have found very little on drawing accurate shadows in perspective for spheres from imagination, like how low should the cast shadow be and how much of it “touches” the actual sphere.

[@DevTheRay]

At what times exactly are is the discount going to go down?

[@ProkoTV]

This course currently has a special early bird discount of 25% off through August 1st. After that it will be lowered to 20% until the first lesson launches October 1st.

Hi Proko is that the same course that he did ,back then , with the 12 lessons? I'm asking because i already have this first one.

[@ProkoTV]

This is a much more in depth course, with TONS more lessons. Marshall's old whiteboard lecture course is packed with information. But this just has more focused examples, diagrams, and demos. Both from Marshall and other perspective pros. It's a much more in-depth course with additional sections to help explain the concepts and keep your learning mind engaged.

[@abacusmia6496]

@@ProkoTV Thank you very much. I'm happy to know that so i will buy it; yesss !

[@teovz1]

Is this course something that is done on your own time or more along the lines of an actual university or college course that requires certain parts to be done at specific times?

[@ProkoTV]

You can do all of our courses at your own pace. The only thing that can change the timeline for you doing the assignments is that you can submit your work to be included in the video critiques that will live on as part of the course. That isn't required but some students like having that. You can still get critiques on work submitted for assignments even after those video critiques are released, though. It just won't be in said videos.

[@suigintounyann]

​​@@ProkoTVThe critiques on the submitted assignments (once the course is finished and all the lessons and corrections released) are from community members or from the Proko team? And does that apply for all courses in Proko platform?

[@jaggedmatt]

It's finally here! But saying 'October' gives our lovable rogue Marshall too much wriggle room. "Indeed it will be available from October ~cough~2040 and part two will be sometime later~cough~ although, maybe I should wait until this cough clears up..." Pin down his X,Y, and Z 😂 One request (as it's a super long course) is for Marshall to cover using multiple vanishing points to simulate looking through two eyes (as described in the book the Noble Approach). Pretty sure he'll cover it, I have faith in him 😎

[@yeyezen]

when is gonna be the last day for the 25% discount? 🥺

[@josuam5502]

Is this course useful for people who already bought the 1994 Perspective Series from Marshall? I mean....if there are many assignments attached to the course it could be a huge help for me, also will there be english subtitles available once the full course goes online? I'm deaf so I need subtitles^^ And if I decide to purchase the course - do I need to have an account at the Proko Website, or is there a way to purchase as a guest and always have access to the paid course?

[@ProkoTV]

You'll need a Proko account. They're free to make and we don't ruin your inbox with emails or anything. The account allows you to submit assignments and interact with Marshall and other students as you progress through the course (if you want that). During our recent Livestream with Marshall, he said that this was much more in depth than his old course. There are tons of visual aids, more focused additional information and more that just couldn't be included or happen naturally in those videos, as they were essentially a lecture with one camera pointed at him and a whiteboard from far away. They're still packed with great information but Marshall has been waiting to be able to revisit the topic in greater depth as he's done here.

[@josuam5502]

@@ProkoTV Ok, this is a strong selling point for me. How about subtitles - will they be provided to the course?

[@ProkoTV]
