I grew up drawing knowing perspective, but knew I didn't comprehend it the true sense of it. Despite 1 point, 2 point, and 3 point perspective being easy to do, it doesn't capture the complexity that you see in real life especially if you want to draw people and landscapes that don't follow those vanishing points. But being a photographer, the 5 point grid sphere clicked with my head. I hope my drawings will drastically improve from here.
extremely helpful vid. I like how you simplify things and reinforce your explanation with key points that’s easy to remember. the visualisations are also really good
I've been drawing perspective and I found out some doubts about this topic in particular and the relationship between other perspective points. Thanks for this video, it's very well explained and super helpful
This video is a treasure! Learning perspective beyond the very basics has been hard for me because the guides I followed never really explained the focal length, angle of view and how close/far to actually put your vanishing points and what does it mean in real life. This video answered all of that, thank you so much for making this!
I do photography as a hobby, so I do know my way around focal lengths in general, but I just couldn’t really wrap my head around how they translate to perspective in drawings with vanishing points. Although you only touched on this briefly, it helped me a lot. The only thing I can’t really seem to get it how different focal lengths manifest for 1 point perspectives in terms of vanishing lines, so I think I’m gonna look at the other videos you recommended. All around great video, keep it up 👍🏻
Glad you found the video useful! You've inspired me to make a follow up video showing more practical applications of drawing in perspective, since this was mainly theory-based. I'll show some examples of 1 pt. perspective and focal lengths too 🙂
I've been passing this video on to photographers constantly forever now haha. They, in general, really don't understand how this all works. Especially when APS-C comes into play to further disrupt the idea of framing. Artists who are also photographers see the world differently, for sure. Even from other artists and photographers who stick to one discipline. Subsequently, it's really cool that we can hit the street to snap little "illustrations" and it scratches the art itch. This keeps my head level when I don't have time to paint 🎉 Great video.
Thank you so much! I definitely relate to what you're saying, keeping those techniques in mind makes me feel like I'm still creating compositions with a camera versus brush ☺
Great explanation! Congratulations! One question: Te 50mm focal length of the human eye, refers to a single eye or the combination of both in the resulting binocular vision?
This has been by far the most helpful explanation of the focal length for drawing I've seen. Thanks man great work.

what a gem this video is! the most helpful video on focal lengths is found. this will help me so much with my 2d&3d renders. thank you so much.
One correction, at 6:33 I mixed up the 50mm and 200mm lenses in the photos at the bottom. But the placement is correct in Blender!

Thanks very much, I'm glad you found it useful!
Wow finally someone who managed to get me to understand this! Amazing video!
Thank you, I'm happy to hear that! 😄
Amazing. The differences shown on the five point grid were killer

Thank you for the video! It's easy to follow
finally exactly what I was looking for!thanks that was helpfull

You're very welcome, happy it could help! I agree, a lot of this stuff happens under the hood, so it helps a lot to know why they occur 😄

I'm glad you enjoyed the vid!
Amazing video what is the ruler tool you use on 8:02 in photoshop for angles?
It's called Lazy Nezumi!
@@DanielAngArt Thanks!
What is that brush/tool you're using at the 8:10? I NEED that in my life
Thanks for watching! It's a plug in for Photoshop called Lazy Nezumi. Couldn't recommend it more!
