Advanced Perspective - Week 1

And for the last of my three new Fall Semester classes I have Advanced Perspective for Illustration, Film, & Games.  This class is being taught by Brandon Luyen, who has worked in the Game Industry for some time.  This is set to be an interesting, informative, and homework-ridden class.

Drawings were done digitally in Sketchbook Pro; value and layout done in Photoshop.
