Hello,
I'm looking for artists and/or illustrators who create compositions where the viewer is placed somwhere much more odd than simply eye-level. Such as viewer placed directly above the figures, viewing something from under a table, etc.

I've seen examples in several of my figure drawing books, but I wanted to see if there's any artists who have specialized in this area or who have created any interesting pieces where the viewer is placed in a non-typical location.

I'm trying to challenge myself by getting away from everything-drawn-at-eye-level pieces simply for practice sake and building my skill set. Just wanted to see what has been done in this area.

I put out this request because I'm finding it highly difficult to search down these type of pieces specifically.

Thanks for any help

Ken

EDIT: Can't find the good stuff on Coll online. There's reams of awesome pix in his collections by Walt Reed and John Flesk. Trust me.

Hey Kingshaj, thanks! I like her style... the one piece with the monkey helped me alot. Thanks for also posting Bengal's example... I actually hadn't seen it before.

Hey Kev! Wow... thankyou for all the contributions... I really appreciate you taking the time to do that... that's awesome. I don't think I had heard of Joseph Clement Coll before now... I love his work. Thanks for that full sheet of reference shots as well... that's awesome. THankyou :)
