So, we've got a bunch of perspective lessons on the way. Be sure to subscribe to catch them. Many will be free lessons, but if you want all the lessons, projects, demos, and critiques you’ll need to sign up for the premium course at proko.com/drawing.
Dude, it's 2:22 a.m. and I'm waiting on my five new art books from dover after picking up 6 new copic markers yesterday. Been a long time fan for about 3 years now, Proko. @4:42 you broke me, dude😂😂😂😅😊. You deserve a gold medal for that masterful candid comedy! Check out my art channel @turnerdesignstudios and Google that name if you want. All the best, bud!
We all do lol. Technical precision is best done with a ruler but we wanted to be sure to show that laying in perspective doesn't have to be all rulers and numbers. We're doing some eyeballing and loose lay-ins to built up that intuitive perspective skill.
Thank you! I understand everyone has to make a living and therefore one must not give away all the knowledge they have for nothing. But for people like me who live on a fixed income but want to better themselves in their hobbies, your free videos are of great help!
I've been looking for a good teacher on TH-cam and I think I found my person. This is my first video, and I'm impressed. You speak clearly and precisely, and you come off as a likeable person. I followed this video as you were drawing and made 1 point perspective super easy and helped me understand it fully. Thank you! off to watch the two -point video
Its times like this ProkoTV that take me back to when we first fell in love. Our Horizon lines are infinite and my heart will never converge to a vanishing point no matter what boxes people attempt to drawn around it.
In grade 8 my art teacher was trying to teach us this. I remember drawing the boxes thinking "This seems pointless.." I had no idea what the point of it was. Thanks for being so clear and easy to understand, this was a wonderful tutorial
That's the hard part about teaching sometimes! You have to set up an explanation for why and how something is used and then give a project about it to have students understand its use. But not every way of communicating that works for every learning style. Glad this was helpful for you!
4:37 glad i'm not the only one having trouble drawing straight lines and immediately breaking down into a sweat and anxiety Thanks for the video introducing 1pp, Proko! 💙🦈
One of my gifts over the holidays included a perspective sketchbook. I've already studied perspective basics, but I realized while doodling in the sketchbook that having the preprinted grid was a great way to practice sketching scenes without the additional back-and-forth of calculating the horizon and vanishing point every time, especially as you add more vanishing points. If you're working digitally you can also make grids for yourself using the digital tools.
I have yet to finish this video but having been given a demo and explanation of 1-point perspective by TH-camrs and teachers for many years this is by far the clearest and best explanation I’ve ever seen. You don’t state stuff in a roundabout way or exclude important exceptions. You just lay it all out clearly
Welp in my case its not a lack of perspective basics . I can do all the type of perspective but the problem is the imagination to create a scène. The lack of imagination is killing me
Instagram and tik Tom gives you dopamine spikes with no effort. every dopamine spike it lowers your dopamine as if your bored. you produce more dopamine because your not getting fed the fast videos from instagram or tik tok. try watching movies and don’t keep watching that stuff because your body will tell itself that it can produce it with no effort. higher dopamine gives you motivation to do art (and other stuff) and brainstorm different ideas. Hope this helps
Good sir, thank you kindly for this lesson. I've struggled mightily with grasping the concepts of perspective and after spending an hour on this video I am excited to go to the next lesson. It felt great to draw those boxes and it gave me a ton of ideas. Will continue to keep it locked in!
I've been wanting to work on my intuitive perspective, and Proko is right on time as always. By the way, I've never understood if one, two or even three point perspectives help in drawing forests and hills and whatnot. If you see this comment, would you let me know?
It won't be as directly applied to the contours of the trees as it is to boxy objects, but everything is affected by perspective. So learning how to draw boxes will help you understand how that same effect applies to trees in a forest.
I remember doing this exact same exercise in college. 1 point perspective boxes looks simple enough, I should pratice more. It's when the things inside the boxes are created that the trouble begins, at least for me.
Always interesting to watch an expert try to make something simple. Fast talking, just popping it out like bam. Lol It’s easy for you so… I guess we’ll call it easy? I’ll go back to practicing now. 🙃
Every time I hear about vanishing points, the context is about straight lines approaching a point. However, the examples given in these videos often include drawings with warped and curved perspective lines. The drawing at 11:45 has this a little bit too. How does one construct these?
I really want to master perspective but I'm 31 and I feel like I'm getting discouraged trying to learn new things, feels a lot more overwhelming 😅 thank you for this video, I hope to start drawing interesting backgrounds not just leaving it blank all the time 😂
Hey Stan, I dunno if you'll read this buy I am enrolled in the basics course and want to complete it all at some point. However, I'm extremely busy with my own art trying to make a living, and the little study time I have is focused on some more focused things I need to tackle. However, perspective is EXTREMELY difficult for me and I have never been able to learn it; I've tried multiple times and always failed. So what I'm wondeirng is; if someone is taking the basics course, would skipping to the perspective section to focus on that leave them confused and lacking information from previous parts? I do want to do every part at some point but if this perspectvie section could help with my chronic inability to understand this subject I want to do it ASAP.
You can skip to the perspective section and you won't be completely lost. The only thing i think you might want to review is the line weight lessons. Those might help your perspective drawings look better.
I was commenting on a video like one or two weeks ago that I still don't get 1-point perspective. I still don't really get it. 😅 1. is it my point of view or where do I have to imagine the persons point of view? (The we look down or up on it still confuses me) 2. Is perspective in every picture? How do I figure out in already existing drawings/pictures where the horizon line and vanishing point is? 3. So if we would use a grid there were 3 lines? horizontal, vertical and one to the vanishing point? But I still get confused where to draw my lines and where to stop them, 9:17 the left upper corner for example somehow confuses me. I still get confused in which direction I have to put my lines. Maybe I think way to complicated 😅It still has not clicked yet in my head. I mean I can draw them, but I have the feeling I don't really know what I am doing. Thank you so much for bringing perspective up again. I will do the exercise now 🧐
I would love to learn how to lock items in boxes. As for perspective, I usually have trouble drawing landscapes when the vanishing points are outside the image and I have to use an extremely long ruler. I think there is a method to this, but everywhere they explain it in such a way that I don't understand it :( Do you have any advices?
You said that if we rotate the box and it's not perfectly vertical or horizontal, it wouldn't be a one-point perspective. So, does even "Bedroom in Arles" represent more than one vanishing point? For example, the chair under the window is rotated slightly, so does that introduce another vanishing point? So, if we say about one, two, three... vainishing points, do we (almost) always simplifies it to the main points of the composition?
Yes, that piece is outside of one point perspective. But it also isn't strictly two or three, either. There are things that are ignoring all perspective, with a general room diminution towards one point.
Would love to get an explanation on why the Z-axis edge has to be a certain length to create a cube in 1pt perspective along with 2pt, 3pt etc... I've seen a lot of videos on perspective, but no one really explains this at all...
One of the best explanations of perspective I have found! Thank you. One question though - how does one choose the vanishing point when drawing an actual scene (or is this a stupid question - I have a hard time applying perspective when trying to draw 🫤)
Lots of cases actually. A page with 9 boxes rotated freely in 3 point perspective will contain 27 vanishing points. A spiral staircase is a good example of something like that in real life, with each step acting as an individual box with its own set of vanishing points. Another example would be an object with more than three sets of parallel lines. Imagine trying to apply perspective to a Y shaped box. If you're observing from on top of the bottom end of the Y shaped box, you would see the outlines of this prong converging to a vanishing point in the middle of the horizon line, with the other two prongs converging to two different vanishing points to the right and left of this center vanishing point. That leaves you with an object with 5 vanishing points to consider once you add in the y and x axis' vanishing points. Does that make sense?
So, we've got a bunch of perspective lessons on the way. Be sure to subscribe to catch them. Many will be free lessons, but if you want all the lessons, projects, demos, and critiques you’ll need to sign up for the premium course at proko.com/drawing.
Someone’s got to say it…so when’s Marshall’s perspective course coming out?
Thank you Proko, you really helped me

man you’re the best art teacher I have ever seen
Thanks!
I am 73 years old and never learned this in any of my school art classes. Thanks for the enlightening!
How much do you improve?
He's probably gone by now @@krish2817

It feels good to see that sometimes even you struggle in drawing straight lines . Btw yes i will do the warmup.

Laughed so hard on the wobbly lines cause I remembered the first times I tried perspective exercises. Thanks so much for this content Stan!
The way you explain such concepts is so simple, it’s hard finding teachers that make perspective so easy to understand, you’re truly the best teacher

THIS THIS IS THE PERFECT LESSON THAT IVE BEEN FINDING! IVE BEEN CONFUSED IF THE ROTATED OBJECT STILL FOLLOWS THE ORIGINAL VANISHING POINT

It's not shitty speed draw tutorials I hate them

Same here!
There’s actually a name for that in the art community! It’s called art block, and it is the very bane of m existence.

I once heard a teacher tell art students( go watch a movie, read some books, look at the sky, but look with intent and relaxed eyes
You posted this at a perfect time. I’m struggling with perspective art with these school projects. Thanks for teaching! ❤
Perspective is the coolest thing about art
My brain is on the path to understanding this. Thank you, Proko! 😊
You made this right on time watched this at 10:30Pm then used it in the morning time thanks

Exactly what i needed ! you are the first person to make me actually like vanishing points and horizon lines.
So im just having this as an hobby, for now, and with his course on youtube, i can learn pretty much easier, and, how? really love this channel ❤
Bro I finally understanded this like this is that easy how I could not get this at the first time thanks now I get this you deserve sub
This is the most helpful perspective video I’ve ever found. The explanations and elaboration on the the factors involved was quite helpful. Thank you.
Even if you've been drawing you're whole life, this is really helpful stuff to review.
This video actually helped my lining confidence more.
Thanks, Proko!
My god your superb teacher with greate greate explaintion
I’m join 1year later but it’s clear my thought in mind reality
Thank you sir 😊🌹
Thanks, Proko. You are the best teacher 🙏
We making the drawing on fire out here🗣💯💯💯💯💯💯
Connect the dots and trace the ruler…. I like that a lot 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is a great tutorial on one point perspective
Very easy to understand thank you for the video. I’ll work on the one point perspective drawing boxes training! Keep practicing
Thank you so much for giving out this lessons🙏
It was a very beautiful design. I hope you will be successful and victorious, my dear friend
i love this so much best teacher ever holy moly

Oh I m Just here to remind you that...u r best teacher
Hey, thanks! 😊
Thank you proko 🎉
Thanks for the tips Proko! Looking forward to your upcoming videos on perspective.
He isse soooo goooddd
Like no one have teached me like thisss
Thank you sooo much da
Lots of likes from india
This is exactly what I was looking for! Can't wait for more!
تو یه معلم فوق العاده هستی💙👍👍
Thank you very much very Good Artwork Teacher🥰🤩
Always interesting to watch an expert try to make something simple. Fast talking, just popping it out like bam. Lol It’s easy for you so… I guess we’ll call it easy? I’ll go back to practicing now. 🙃
Thanks that is so clear and understandable
Thank you for Literally TEACHING ME DRAWING 😅
Thanks for letting us join you in that journey!
Thank you for your Video it was an eye opener. Grazie
thanks bro you are the goat !!!!
I'll practice this again 😊❤
Okay, sounds good. I’ll use this when drawing Container. Thanks! I’m late to watching your video...
Love from India ❤❤
Best teacher hands down.
But does anybody know where i can these maths rules He's talking about 🤔
Thanks Stan ❤
Thank you so much !
Good stuff!
This helped me alot to use lines
great education!!!! Thank you!!!

The secret is to use the cuboids as bounding boxes

This is a fantastic exercise.
The way he says- "could it be two point PERCEPECTIVE" 🤣
Very helpful... thank you for sharing 🙏

this better get me to art school
Have to relearn the fundamentals 😮💨 back in the mud 😂
Always good to revisit the core principles!
I laughed so hard at the sweating and crying while trying to draw a line lolll 😂😂
I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THIS

does this also apply for incredibly complex architectures like cathedrals and are the ornaments also in perspective
1 point perspective is a thing that you apply to a drawing. You can use it with any subject matter.
I would love to learn how to lock items in boxes.

What video is he talking about at 4:52 "that warmup about drawing lines from point to point"
This one here:
th-cam.com/video/lTslVOUJ0jI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=j62lYrj7IEc-a1NS
This is pretty easy
Good 👍
Sir, nice nice.
But, what is the number / grade of the pencile?
Please tell me.
The dark pencil used here is a Blackwing 602
but what is the number or gread of this?
what is the grade or number of this?
@@Pcs.pranto123 Black wings don't correlate 1:1 with regular pencil scales. They're high quality pencils but this is my one big problem with them.
The sounds when the lines don't come out the way you expected 😂😂😂
Thanks bro
