Oh, that's not the worst, one chick wanted to make herself a personal dairy - just fr her, and wanted illustrations to colour in daily - worked out as almost 300 illustrations.. was paying $30

3d is the answer to perspective - just do paintovers and photobash.

If you're getting too overwhelmed with his perspective book, try Ernest Norling Perspective book, he has exercises you can do as well, after that go with scotts. And for dynamic line drawing stuff, you can try Peter han videos.

Lots of places love slave labour, just go look at illustraion jobs on upwork.. 1k for 60 full illustrations, they get exclusive rights, want all original files, you only /get/ 800 of that due to the upwork commis cut.. slave labour and that's /good/ payment

Jan how did you go about practising the book? How much time?

Because you could try and hook up with someone doing the gameplay side of it, and do the assests

i knew a little bit about perspective before i started but not much more than what 1p 2p and 3p perspective are and when you need which. but those are explained in the book as well
