The Rayman Method
In this lesson you'll learn is a very simple, 'join the dots' approach for foreshortening that not only works, but actually makes it fun. The Rayman Method takes out all the complication, leaving you with a more intuitive way to plot out your character's pose, with foreshortening in mind, right from the get go. By the end, you'll be pushing the limits of depth and dimension in your characters, as they leap off the page with more 3D'ness than ever before.
