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.
