Ask and you shall receive.

You are now aware that the introduction song of Kingdom Hearts, “Dearly Beloved,” represents a heartbeat.

What makes these mutually exclusive? Because Sora is right. In fact, I can’t think of a more perfect way of putting it. “The heart’s true nature is to never, ever let go.” Because this can be incredibly good and incredibly bad. It’s a double-edged sword. On one hand, yeah, our bonds with others can stand the test of time, of distance, because we carry who we love with us in our hearts, our memories. Sometimes distance even makes the heart grow fonder. Grief brings people together. As Sora points out, Xehanort separating Woody and Buzz from Andy only brought Woody and Buzz closer together.

On the other hand, you have to know when to let go. You have to accept when you’re never going to see someone again in this life. Toybox concludes with Woody, Buzz, and the gang not finding a way home, much to Sora’s dismay. “But… what about Andy? You care about him so much.” But Buzz reassures with a hand on his heart, “[Andy’s] still right here with us.” A sort of reflection of the third film, when the toys and Andy part ways permanently as a result of Andy growing up. It’s a natural progression. An inevitable grief like death.

You have to cherish someone while they’re here, and let them go when they no longer are. Because people aren’t permanent, and their lives are not yours to control. Otherwise, you’d be like Xehanort trying to play god. How is forcing people to stay any different than forcing people apart? When we cling to the past, when we can’t accept loss, that’s when we become selfish and cruel.

There’s been all this back and forth about the heart’s true nature since KH1. Is it light like Sora says? Is it dark as Xehanort claims? But the heart is both light and dark. Love can be a force of good and evil. It can inspire great compassion and great hatred. Great bravery and great fear. Incredible joy and incredible sorrow. You can be incredibly selfless and incredibly selfish in the name of love. It can make heroes and villains of us all.

so I'm hoping that your issue isn't just figuring out the difference between 1-point, 2-point, and 3-point perspective and how it works, because there are tons and tons of resources available for that, and I'm guessing what people tend to get tripped up on is what you're supposed to be doing with your grid.

I'm definitely far from being an expert on understanding perspective, but I'll share some of the things that helped ME finally Get It.

Things like eye level and different camera angles can be a GREAT tool to use when doing a comic or storyboard between multiple characters of different heights!! I actually drew an example of this exact thing for a friend about a month ago (I used adventure time characters bc they're easy to draw and have a good height variety):

You can use camera angles like this to add variety to your shots, and even use it to help convey something emotional (using a down-shot on a character to show that they FEEL small, use an up-shot on a character to make them look more intimidating, etc etc)
