I have a question: How do you know if a drawing should be done in 1 point or 2 point perspectives? If I'm planning to draw a person, for example, it seems completely arbitrary whether I can use 1 point or 2 points perspective. So why would I choose one over the other?
Here’s how I look at perspective. Straight lines lead our eyes. Our eye wants to derez the farther away information by making it smaller and blurrier. So every line that leads away that we can see has a shared vanishing point. And every horizontal line has its own personal vanishing point. So when we are staring straight at a skyscraper, it still uses 2pt perspective but when we move our eye upwards, the straight lines begin to share a vanishing point because our eye wants to devalue the far away information. This video is prolly the best explanation of two point perspective in TH-cam. I just had to watch this to reconcile how best to use this.
Amazing! The tip about going around your house, and deciding if what you're looking at is a 1 or 2 point perspective really helps. It's all I can see now 👀
hmm i was confused about that, how if the box get too far from the center of the scene/our center of view? i mean its in the side corner of our view, so the front of it will still seen as rectangle right? as we seen the top of it i was so confused n ended up drawing it as 2 points box when its in the side corner of our view n also, if the box is in the center of the horizon line, we'll only see the front of it, but if we move like to the left, the box now will show its other side which is the side of the box, n the front will again still seen as rectangle right? so i also confused about this n ended up drawing it as 2 points box so in conclusion, in the 1 point, we'll always see the front face as rectangle no matter where it is in our scene, like in bottom or top or center of the horizon line
As a non artist this is really interesting and something I never knew about. I have a question - so depending on where you draw your 2 vanishing points will determine where your perspective is? So can you make drawings of a house for example where you can barely see the front (perspective all the way on the left)....all the way around till you are all the way on the other side?
TH-cam correct me if I’m wrong. Basically what you would do is make one vanishing point on the left. You can put a vanishing point on the right, but it would be waaaayy off canvas/frame.
If I draw different boxes in one drawing, some on them on their side, others with their front to me, I will have a combination of one point and two point perspective. I need to draw one horizon lines with 3 vanishing points, correct?
In conclusion, if the front/back side of the object is parallel to the rotation of the eye/camera then use the 1 point rule, conversely if the front/back side of the object is not parallel to the rotation of the eye -
Thank you for explaining this in an easy understandable way, I’m taking a class where it was explained oddly and i was going bananas.
Amazing and clear instructions. I really love your way of explanation. Thank you so much
Wow!i always wondered what's the difference when you post drawing perspective!
Veeeeeery good information!😊

This video is excellent!! Seeing the boxes really helped!!!
You've made it so simply understandable. Thanks a million 😋😇

Thank you so much for sharing that! We can use all the tips you have on perspective:)

😀🌺Your video is so beautiful. 🎵🎶영상 잘봤습니다, 😀역시 짱입니다~~❤❤
Good video, thank you! Clear and concise 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing! Good content video...nice
Best video ever!
Very good lesson. Thank you!
Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$
Big Help Thank you!!
Thanks
Thx great video
Thank you so much for this
this is easier than i thought

nice video!!! its very helpful. it helps me a lot. nice voice as well 💕💕💕

I already found the answer on your video with the birdhouses :-)
You could draw three or just use two
Some segments in the video are stamped not adjacent to each other
In conclusion, if the front/back side of the object is parallel to the rotation of the eye/camera then use the 1 point rule, conversely if the front/back side of the object is not parallel to the rotation of the eye -
So use the 2 point rule, if the object is much larger than the eye/camera then use the 3 point rule.
Using 3 points can also be used for figures, by using small eyes/small lenses/small cameras to make the figures look like giants.
Great way of explaining it, thank you!
