It’s interesting how Buscema broke perspective to make the composition dynamic. My brain won’t let me do that, often to my detriment:)

Yes and he did it several times. He knew how to break rules. Look at Colan. He never drew correct perspective and made it work and look cool. All those old guys did that.

As a kid I did not understand perspective, but as an adult I am often obsessed with finding the vanishing points:)

Yes, so many people resist learning it but when you do, it’s like having a superpower. Then it’s a tool and you can decide how to break the rule if you want to and you understand how that makes a drawing or an illustration feel. some artists are feeling artists some artists are more technical .

— Buscema could have added a few stairs to justify the foreground character’s lower eye level—but why overcomplicate it? Sometimes, the magic of comics lies in tricking the eye! —
