The correctness of the forms is not what makes a picture appear lifeless -- not ensuring that you have a composition that leads the eye to a particular focus, or using poses that don't show a person in the middle of performing a purposeful action -- THAT will sap your drawing.
The most important thing in your drawing is "what is going on" it's the only thing that makes your drawing more than just a collection of objects. It's the depiction of a STORY that reels us in and generates interest.
Excellent series!! I use similar teaching techniques in my classes (and w/ my daughter) and have had wonderful success. Kudos to you for moving the "art" of teaching perspective beyond the traditional approach of drawing simple boxes in 1, 2, and 3 points, which, in my experience, leaves most students bewildered and without much sense of how perspective applies to all art, not just illustration and technical stuff....
Great work, thank you!

Thank you very much! I'll try that. I also wonder if you have any recommendations about good drawing books/dvd/instructors? Thanks again! :)

Glenn Vilppu makes excellent books and DVDs, and Richard Schmidt has a really good book on painting called Alla Prima.

I like these. All the perspectives are obvious when you're confronted with them, but you'd never think of them when drawing.
Thanks for a good tutorial!
