I’m taking the background design course this semester at the Animation Academy taught by Robert Gold and Danny Picar and looking forward to being able to put my characters in environments that are more than a brushy blob of color!

It’s been a while since I’ve invoked the formal rules of perspective in a drawing, so in these thumbnail sketches I’m trying to get a sense for how the vanishing point and horizon line work in environments that are not simply a road stretching off into the distance.
