And then simplify that actually scene, and put it on the flat so we're working one on one next to each other. And go through every single angle at a time and show you how I build up the drawing. Just looking at those simple shapes and looking at the perspective within the scene. So here's a photographic reference of the viewpoint that I was looking at. I've purposely chosen this angle because it's going away from us, and most beginners would veer away from it because it seems a bit too complicated to get that idea of a door going into the distance. And I've simplified it even further by taking out all the distractions of the background. So all we're left with are the negative spaces in between the angles. And it is a lot…
