Course Description
Perspective Audit Class Lectures is a 9-video lecture series by Kirk Shinmoto focused on introducing students to perspective drawing for environments.This audit class directly mirrors the same lectures from Kirk Shinmoto’s live classes. The videos follow the same topics covered over the course of 9 weeks and include demos, assignments, and weekly topics. The in-class homework critique recordings from the live classes are not included.
The class introduces one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective systems and explains how to use them to create environments. Through weekly drawing assignments, students learn practical ways to apply perspective systems to rooms, corridors, city streets, organic environments, buildings, and larger environment scenes.
Along with technical perspective drawing, the course also touches on composition and design concepts when drawing in perspective. Emphasis is placed on understanding how to relate both people and objects within an environment.
Purchasing the audit class gives students indefinite access to streamed videos through Gumroad. PSD files from the weekly lectures are also available for download.

Course Contents
Week 1 - 1-Point Perspective Basics
Students cover the basics of perspective, including the picture plane, one-point perspective, and measuring in perspective.Assignment: Measuring and gridding out a room.
Week 2 - 1-Point Perspective Continued
This section continues with one-point perspective and introduces additional constructions and strategies for designing and drawing a one-point sci-fi corridor.Assignment: One-point corridor.
Week 3 - 2-Point Perspective Basics
Students learn the basics of two-point perspective and apply the tools learned in one-point perspective to a two-point perspective space. This section also covers design considerations for drawing a shoebox view of a room.Assignment: Shoebox environment.
Week 4 - 2-Point Perspective Continued
This section continues with two-point perspective and covers shot choice, scene setup, and how to design a scene in two-point perspective.Assignment: Throne room.
Week 5 - 2-Point Perspective Shadows
Students learn how to plot shadows in perspective from various light sources.Assignment: Shadows and ruins.
Week 6 - 2-Point Perspective: City Street
This section covers strategies for designing and drawing a city street using the perspective tools discussed so far.Assignment: City street.
Week 7 - Organic Perspective
Students learn how to maintain perspective in an organic environment and use design strategies to organise the complexity of organic forms in space.Assignment: Temple in the jungle.
Week 8 - 3-Point Perspective
This section introduces the basics of three-point perspective, including how to set up a three-point perspective grid and plot out a house in three-point perspective.Assignment: Worm’s-eye building.
Week 9 - 3-Point Perspective Continued
Students learn strategies for designing and drawing a bird’s-eye city view in three-point perspective.Assignment: Drawing a three-point city.

Who This Course Is For
This course is for students who want an introduction to perspective drawing and want to understand how to use one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective systems to create environments.It is suitable for artists who want to improve their ability to draw rooms, corridors, streets, buildings, organic environments, and city scenes with stronger perspective structure.
About the Instructor
The course is taught by Kirk Shinmoto.Final Result
By the end of the course, students will have a stronger understanding of one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective systems and how to apply them to environment drawing.Students will also gain practical experience through assignments focused on rooms, corridors, shoebox environments, throne rooms, shadows, city streets, organic environments, buildings, and city views.
