This was the first project in my Perspective & Proportions class. We were to demonstrate our understanding of overlapping perspective and diminution (things that are farther away appear to be smaller) by drawing “The Thundering Hordes of…” We saw everything from bunny rabbits to severed heads, to butcher knife-wielding bridesmaids. So here is my tribute to decades of musical cinema. I wanted to shoehorn in Arnold Schwarzeneggar and Jamie Lee Curtis doing their tango from True Lies, but I had a hard time making a good, recognizable drawing of them, so I substituted some random nameless people in their stead. I rather regret having done that now.
