This is such a well taught class! It taught me to not heavily rely on the more technical aspect of the horizon line, but actually to adjust those techniques via observing. Thanks, teach!
I really want to thank you :) When I was working on perspective, I could create visuals while I was practising, but when I looked at a picture, I couldn't understand how many perspective points there should be. Or when I looked at a picture, I could not understand how to create perspective lines according to what. Thank you very much for explaining this to us and for your efforts, thank you :)😍
I can't believe you can keep making this high quality content at one video per day! I have upgraded from a ballpoint to a 0.05 mm fineliner, and it has helped a ton in the details, but the lines are squigglier than the ballpoint. any tips for how to practice with fineliners?
Thanks Daniel. More like 4 a week. 😀. I don’t usually go finer than a 0.2, 0.1 only sometimes in far distant parts of a drawing. Never 0.5. I feel like it scratches more than it draws. So not really any tips. Sorry. 🫣
As a math guy, the thing that made it click for me was to realize that vanishing points aren't properties of an image- they're a property of parallel lines. A vanishing point is the result of two or more parallel lines in 3d space, projected onto 2d space. It just so happens that however you project parallel 3d lines onto 2d space, they won't be parallel in the 2d image unless they're also parallel to the plane, so they'll always meet at a point. So for a cube, with 3 sets of 4 parallel lines, you end up with 3 vanishing points (often with one infinitely far away cus one edge is usually perfectly vertical, i.e. parallel to the 2d image plane). And 2 cubes only share a vanishing point if some of their edges are parallel.
at around 12:50 when you said that it depends on what effect i want it to create, i was like "so... which ones make the effects i wanna create?" then at the same time i realized trial and error, which is actually not that bad, having a list of what to do to get a result is boring, experimenting with it is fun i realized all of this within that second albeit subconsciously but now consciously after spending time writing down this comment, which is a bit odd, my brain had an argument with itself, well, me at first, but i felt that my brain was asking new questions somehow, i dont know how one would feel that and it finished the entire argument without me knowing, wonder if thats like, something that someone who absorbs knowledge like a sponge experiences frequently, because theyll ask questions that their brain knows the answer to and immediately get an answer
Listening to the questions our brains ask is really important, but do is giving time to let it answer its own question, or refine it, or move on to the question it was really looking for the words to frame. Thanks for sharing 😀
Vanishing points contextualize the face adjacent to the face the lines converge to. The right vanishing point shows where the left side is facing and vice versa.
Thanks Joe. I have several hundred videos on perspective. Some of them are just info, because from a learning point of view, it can be better to not be distractyed by trying to draw a t the same time. Lots of other videos, though, give the chance to out it all into practice.
Then there is probably some problem with the other perspectives. Buildings not at right angles to the first one have different vanishing points. Why not try my video on drawing on curved streets. It may have done helpful info on this. All the best. 😀
Im still having trouble from angles and prespective it looks easy when whatching it but when you started drawing it looks deformed or Misalignmentand you'll get frustrated 😅😂
And I’ve been there. But by identifying the error with careful comparison afterwards with the reference, and sketching it correctly, you’ll learn to get it right first time. You will. Don’t give up. 😀
This is so incredibly obnoxious. So every video about measuring things in space requires you to have vanishing points to measure out a thing like a perfect square in space. So i'm working in two point perspective looking down and my horizon is above the page. It's easy to find the horizon but to measure out a perfect square i need properly placed vanishing points on the horizon which will both be off my page, and this is the like 10th video that discusses this issue and they either don't discuss it at all, or just say "guess" or "go with what looks right when that's just not an option for probably most creative drawing angles and conditions. For instance i'm working on a picture with looking down some stairs and i need a perfect ellipse on the ground which i could easily find in perspective with two properly placed horizon vanishing points and then my center point on the horizon. My vanishing points are going towards the horizon and then down well below the page. None of them go to my horizon because my horizon plane is being faced head on. Is there really no solution to making that perfect ellipse for a scene like this? That seems really hard to believe.
This is a link to a video I made on when vanishing points are off the page. I hope it helps with the situation you are asking about. th-cam.com/video/En22Tz0YV4E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2bSkHxjrdAQN-is9

Thanks so much for this video. I’ve really been struggling with how to find vanishing points. I feel so much better after viewing this video.

While going through a book about perspective for beginners I wrote down some questions, and this video does answer all of them! Thank you very much!
That’s so great Sonny! I’m so pleased. 😀
This is so helpful. I had been crazy about technique. I forgot how important to imagine and observe the perspective!
Great to hear. Thanks 😀
THIS HELPS SO MUCH! This issue has been plaguing me for years! Thank you!
That’s so great to hear. My pleasure 😀
Such a beautiful lecture. God bless you
That’s very kind Ashton. Thank you. 😊

This is the best video I've seen on perspective thank you!
Thanks Paul. I’ve a couple of perspective playlists if you’re interested in more on this. 😀
@@stephentraversart Oh sweet I'll check them out thanks
Absolutely wonderful video. This taught me so much and made me happy
What a great video outcome!😀

So tremendously helpful!! Thank you!!
GreT to hear. Thanks Nancy😀
Simply brilliant video, thank you sir.
That’s very satisfying to hear. Much appreciated. 😀
This was good! Thanks!
Fantastic explanation
Thanks Linda. Appreciated 😀

This is very helpful. Thank you.
V helpful! 👏🏼
Excellent 😀
Pls upload exercises, so we can practice after the video or during. That helps in learning.
Thanks Joe. I have several hundred videos on perspective. Some of them are just info, because from a learning point of view, it can be better to not be distractyed by trying to draw a t the same time. Lots of other videos, though, give the chance to out it all into practice.
👍👍👍👍👍
😀😀😀
you have to give us that photo it looks really good to draw
Should be somewhere a long way back on my Community Page. 😀
In some of my drawings only the first building look correct
Then there is probably some problem with the other perspectives. Buildings not at right angles to the first one have different vanishing points. Why not try my video on drawing on curved streets. It may have done helpful info on this. All the best. 😀
Thank you
My pleasure 😀
NOTE: DISNEY LAND was built with perspective, observe the effect in constructuire when U attend!
Long way from Australia 😧

Feel like I just got red pilled
Haha, I had to Google what it meant, but great to hear. 😀

Have you ever tried putting more paper on the end and mapping off where it should be off screen and using that map to decide where the line should be.
