Rockhe Kim
Greetings, I'm Rockhe Kim. Following the success of "Rockhe Kim's Anatomy Drawing Class" with over 100,000 copies sold, I embarked on teaching Coloso classes and releasing new books aimed at empowering individuals with the essential skills for drawing, including simplification and perspective. In this course, I've distilled and compiled the fundamental concepts of background perspective that I've honed and mastered over two decades.
Perspective poses one of the greatest challenges for artists, yet I've structured these classes based on my six years of teaching experience to accommodate students at every level. By refraining from taking the obvious for granted and approaching complex concepts with ease, anyone can elevate their skills and become a proficient artist.

Interview with
Illustrator Rockhe Kim
Question.01
What did you particularly focus on while creating this class?
The main reason why many people find perspective difficult is that they have been drawing based on intuition rather than accurate theory. In this class, you will learn and understand the precise theory of perspective and apply it to actual drawing. By combining theory and practice, anyone, even beginners, will be able to draw at an advanced level.
Question.02
What is the biggest difference between this class and your first class?"
The biggest differentiator of this class is its exclusive focus on perspective. While my first class is focused on the form of the human body, this second class details perspective from 1-point to 5-point, integrating backgrounds and figures. After systematically learning the core theories of perspective, you will go through practical exercises to build solid drawing skills.
Question.03
Why do people find perspective particularly difficult?
The first reason perspective is difficult is a lack of interest. Even those who have drawn quite a bit don’t fully appreciate the importance of background perspective and focus. The second reason is the misconception that drawing can be done based on intuition, leading people to think that they only need a rough understanding of theory. However, many aspects of drawing require the accurate application of scientific and quantitative theories. My hope is to grow together as artists by aiming to easily understand perspective theory systematically and sequentially.
Question.04
Please leave a message for any future students.
Many people think that being able to draw figures well is good enough, but without an understanding of space, no object can properly exist, which means the subject cannot be accurately depicted. Without a proper understanding of space, it is difficult to draw even a single cube accurately. My confidence and depth in drawing changed after I properly understood perspective. This is the experience I want to share with all of you.
