Have you ever finished a portrait and thought...

*"Something feels off, but I can't figure out what it is?"*

A lot of the time, it's not your anatomy or your rendering. It's your perspective.

One of my students recently sent me a portrait for critique, and he was making a super common mistake that I see all the time. The eyes, nostrils, mouth, and chin were all following slightly different perspective angles, so even though each feature looked fine on its own, together they made the whole face feel a bit wonky.

The fix is actually really simple. πŸ”₯
