Oh that's so cool that you liked my stuff! I've been trying to get into drawing buildings and maps, and while simple, that map just happened to feel especially inspired. If you're ever curious about trying it for yourself, Jared Blando has really in-depth insights on fantasy maps and towns. A little pricey, but it's all concise, and he includes recommendations for physical and digital mediums too. Otherwise, that kind of information is all over the web for free, just have to search a little. But I'm glad you took the time to look at my work, it really made my day!

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course
Marshall Vandruff is a ubiquitous name in art instruction - not just through his work on the Draftsmen podcast and his other collaborations with Proko, but in his own right. He's been teaching anatomy, gesture, and perspective for decades, and a number of my own friends have taken his classes at the Laguna College of Art and Design (back around 2010), and had only good things to say about him. Not just as an instructor, but as a wonderful person as well.
Many of you will be familiar with his extremely cheap 1994 Perspective Drawing lectures, but here he kicks it up to a whole new level.
Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.
Consider the following:
- If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
- Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
- Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
- Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook
Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
