Dive deep into my honest review of Framed Perspective Vol. 2: Technical Drawing for Shadows, Volume, and Characters by Marcos Mateu-Mestre – the ultimate sequel to Vol. 1 that’s revolutionizing how artists tackle perspective in visual storytelling! If you’re an aspiring concept artist, storyboard pro, or animation enthusiast struggling with rendering dynamic shadows, building character volume, or integrating anatomy and folds into 3D environments, this book is a game-changer.
In this video, I break down:

Key Techniques Covered: Step-by-step methods for using shadows and clothing folds to add depth and realism to your characters, straight from Mateu-Mestre’s 30+ years at DreamWorks, Netflix, and Sony Animation (think How to Train Your Dragon and Ultraman: Rising).
Pros & Cons: Why it’s essential for intermediate artists but might challenge beginners – plus how it builds on Framed Ink and Framed Perspective Vol. 1.
