Handsome Korean's Sketchbook

If you think you're not grasping basic principles of linear perspective, you may need to try a different resource. I usually need to go through multiple sources on the same subject, since some explain certain concepts better than others, or contain nuggets of information that others do not. Perspective Made Easy by Ernest Norling is a practical book to start with. Or, if you are feeling very brave, you could try this one on for size: https://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/tech10.html

It's also worth mentioning that some people seem to develop a good handle on perspective primarily or solely through observation of life and photos, Kim Jung Gi and Frank Frazetta being the most noteworthy. (That's based on a slightly fumbling translator's interpretation of something KJG said, but I don't find it hard to believe).

You have a nice clean painting style going. I like the use of a textured brush in the midtones.

Going to check that out, thanks. I think I am at a point where I am just overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things I need to learn to get my art to the next level, Just don't know where to start. I feel like I need to get some good lighting equipment to take photos of my face in different lighting & angles to make any kind of serious progresss with my art but I dont have access to do that.

Did some more portrait practice and other doodles. Hopefully I can practice a lot more and make some illustration pieces for my portfolio soon.
