Finally! True cube, not random figure that looks like cube. I want to express gratitude 🙏 Thank you that you shared this with us. To me you helped a lot. You saved me days in frustration and wondering ending with most probably a wrong drawing. Thanks!
YES PLEASE!!! MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THESE!! I want to know what you've found about the in-depth anatomy of perspective. This is a very niche thing and not a lot of people look into it but there's very little content online about it. at least from what i've found.
Thank you for this! I'm taking an animation class right now and all your videos on perspective help me so much whenever I need to storyboard. Keep up the great work and more videos on perspective would be appreciated (if you have any more tips).
I have learned so much from just watching this tutorial alone. I’ve been drawing cubes assuming I was drawing a perfect box till now. I just started learning how to draw but I’m very interested in learning how to draw properly so I know what I’m doing instead of just doing something that “looks right” to me. Looking forward to seeing your other videos and learning from them. Thank you very much.
This is fantastic. I've been trying to draw cubes from a Loomis book and your video pretty much covers every question that I couldn't answer with his text alone. Thanks!
Dan Thanks - This is by far the best explanation I have seen - and I have looked hard Will need to watch this a couple of times more before I contemplate 3 point perspective cubes but at least I am on my way Thanks again
MAN THANK YOUUU. This was even harder to figure out as a pixel artist, but you broke it down so well i just gotta use the pythagorean theorem and a hail mary. thank you.
Cool, Dan! I had trouble following so I am going to follow your directions and draw the cube myself. Everything you do, Dan is worth the time it takes because it is always new to me. Thanks!!
Great stuff, but can you explain the tip for the height of the cube at 3:18? Is there a geometric proof of this somewhere? (Been scratching my head over this for a while...)
just observe the cube from the areal view and you'll find parallell lines, which will meet at the vanishing point. I could find that proof myself, but unfortunately I cannot paste any links or pictures here, which explanes that part.
3:30 I notice your line perfectly intersects with your VP diagonal. When I drew mine it came out past my VP diagonal. Did I do something incorrect? Or is it a coincidence?
Why can we take the distance from the station point to the vanishion point and use it on the horizon line to find a new vanishing point? How are they related to each other?
This is exactly the subject I was searching for. How you assured that the top side was a square in perspective followed logically from your “cone” video. After that, the reasoning behind the steps you took to get the height of the face was not evident to me. A more detailed video would be wonderful.
Thank you for your video ~ And may I ask where you learned this method? because if it is from a book then I'd really want to check that out and I also want to know the theory behind it. Thank you so much!!
Could you please explain why, at 3.14, the length of the VP to Stationary Point gives the length of the VP to the Measuring Point. I understand how you do it; but why...?
Is it just a coincidence that the line connecting 45°dia point and the point which is drawn first of the cube is also crossing over the stational point or sth at the bottom. Because there is no meanig if it is not. You cannot draw any cube at right, left or another place.
This is the only video that showed me how to get the correct height of the cube, but WHY does it work? I don’t want to just memorize a sequence of steps without understanding why they work
the horizontal "height" of the cube, we've calculated builds with a bottom edge an isosceles triangle. The same triangle we have from stationary point to the vanishing point and along horizon line. Third sides of both triangles are parallel to each other, so they converge to the same vanishing point.
My cube ended up below the horizon line. Not sure why but it looks accurate. I will continue experimenting with this and trying to understand the logic.
One thing I’m not understanding is why the technique you used to measure the precise height of the cube works. It just seems like you’re doing some magic but I know there’s some mathematical reasoning behind it.
Did you know, and as artists, I hope you can relate to this, that the neuro tests make the elderly with no art or interest in art draw a cube with no instruction or a reference. Betty Edwards says people cannot draw cubes without instruction. I'm almost finished with my graphic memoir of how I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and it worked. I tricked her off caffeine, then no prescription meds, forced her/tricked her/incentivized her to drink water, kept her away from high fructose corn syrup and other poison, because they made her mean and delusional, and kept her away from gluten. I'm always curious to know what artists think of this fact? My book is about how the right hand is not talking to the left hand with many aspects of our health, and people should use art to help with their caregiving.
Is there a way to draw a perfect cube if you only know the height of the cube? I have the closest corner line only and I was to know how to find out where to draw the other vertical lines
Great Video! Can you please follow this up with rotating objects in perspective. @moderndayjames made a tutorial on the subject too but you made this lesson very simple. I’d like to see how you how you would simplify rotating cubes in perspective
Thanks for this great video! I'm so curious why the height of cube can be calculated this way, what's the math behind it? And if vanishing points are off page, how to draw an accurate perfect cube?
I was trying to figure this out too - my best guess is to think of the entire drawing in top-down perspective like this: imgur.com/a/1WF9OmC would love to know if there’s a better explanation...
@@IntrepidWill I kinda get the idea... but then if you take the case where the cube is "right below" the viewing point (the edge in that case would be 90deg) and we would "see" no height, but using the method used in the vid you get a very large height.... so I'm still not sure if it is correct. (I mean it looks pretty accurate but... haha)
What the frog, thats so overcomplicated!!! Also what if your cube is not on the level of horizon??? Is there a simpler way?! This is based on angles, wich means, you make a very small mistake, and becomes a very big mistake!! Its a miracle it came out this precise!!
I dont understand. If you were to follow this technique except with two cubes instead of one, then the diagonal lines of the cubes facing inward which should be parallel would end up facing two different points on the horizon.
Great, but I was really hoping to find a video that explained why its method is correct... Seems like no matter where I look, I never seem to find a proper explanation, just another "how-to."
well, constructing of the bottom part of the cube is pretty easy to understand: you just follow the idea, that all parallel lines are meeting at vanising point, so the diagonal of the bottom square and bisection of the right angle at the stationary point. It's a bit more difficult to understand how to find the proper height of the cube, but at the end it is based on the same idea: parallel lines are meeting at vanishing points. Unfortunately I cannot paste any links or pictures here, which explains that part.
I can follow and complete the steps easily enough, but how do we know that this method is actually correct and truly results in a Cube that has all Edges (x,y,z) that are equal?
@@andreyostrThat's really unfortunate... I would've loved to have gotten a proper explanation from someone who understood how to prove that the box is truly a cube. Perhaps there is another way to communicate?
I'm sorry man, but there's a flaw in your method, and the resulting cube is imperfect. To be precise, the bottom square isn't a perfect square in perspective.
First of all, please talk slowly, clearly and point steps clearly. You mumble through the exercise. Please keep in mind that people who are watching it are mostly kids, and they don't understand what you are mumbling to yourself and under your breath. There.
Finally! True cube, not random figure that looks like cube. I want to express gratitude 🙏 Thank you that you shared this with us. To me you helped a lot. You saved me days in frustration and wondering ending with most probably a wrong drawing. Thanks!
same! the "tutorials" of people drawing "cubes" that are just uneven, random boxes are ridiculous. this video is gold
Looks a lot like my tutorial I did in 2013
YES PLEASE!!! MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THESE!!

Please!, in the next time make a video "How to rotate a perfect cube in perspective". Thank you man!
This is fantastic. I've been trying to draw cubes from a Loomis book and your video pretty much covers every question that I couldn't answer with his text alone. Thanks!
Mind BLOWN. Thank you! Gotta watch this one a few times.
Oh please do videos on rotating cubes! I definitely enjoy these videos and use them as reference since I'm still fairly new with perspective!
Wow. It took so many TH-cam videos to find the right video. What I was missing was 90 and 45 degree logic. Thanks bunch.
Nice guide man, very few on youtube are actually about a perfect cube and end up "eye ball it", making the entire thing pointless.
Dan Thanks - This is by far the best explanation I have seen - and I have looked hard Will need to watch this a couple of times more before I contemplate 3 point perspective cubes but at least I am on my way Thanks again
I would love to see more stuff like this. This was really interesting
this legit helped me at scott robertsons page on dvp (diagonal vanishing point )
MAN THANK YOUUU. This was even harder to figure out as a pixel artist, but you broke it down so well i just gotta use the pythagorean theorem and a hail mary. thank you.
Thanks a whole lot! Super understandable and quick.
I can't tell u how grateful I am to u , thanks a lot
Thank you so much, was looking for this informations for hours. Your video helped me a lot. ♥
Thanks. This seems to be the only video that actually shows how to legit do this.
Yes, more perspective videos, please... Thank you for the tutorial
This HELPED ALOT thank you
Absolute magic thanks Dan
Cool, Dan! I had trouble following so I am going to follow your directions and draw the cube myself. Everything you do, Dan is worth the time it takes because it is always new to me. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for this!
Take this, math teacher!!!! 😂😂
Relly
Reminds me of my video
This is excellent! Thank you!
Thanks for this... I’m studying perspective using Scott Robertson’s book and your vids are a great companion. 👍🏼
Use scott Robertson's app to get support and ytb vids from his books !
Благодарю за качественное информацию и ее подачу. Многое подчеркнул для себя. Удачи и добра тебе, человек!
took me so long to find a video like yours! thank you very much
Sir this is great do you have a video on how to draw stacked boxes please let me know. thank you
Hi Brad .. tQ and I think it is very critical ie transfering relative length in perspective .. take care n stay safe.
finally man thank you so much!!
Great stuff, but can you explain the tip for the height of the cube at 3:18? Is there a geometric proof of this somewhere? (Been scratching my head over this for a while...)

Hey dan you should do a house tour
3:30 I notice your line perfectly intersects with your VP diagonal. When I drew mine it came out past my VP diagonal. Did I do something incorrect? Or is it a coincidence?
Same with me!
It looks like a copy of my video, if you watch it I explain what's going on, and why it seems that way, but it isn't
Why can we take the distance from the station point to the vanishion point and use it on the horizon line to find a new vanishing point? How are they related to each other?
what i rely want to do is to have units attached. Say i need 8, not 5 .. and now how do i build a cube of 8 units?
I love your videos! Thank u for always inspiring me i love youu 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this. I'd love to learn more.
You have a british/country accent. It's soothing
I really thank you!
Is there such a thing as a perfect cube rotating in its center axis in perspective?
thank you

How to draw by scott robertson. Not sure if that's the exact book where he got it from, but it does cover these techniques and more
@@MinecraftSeedsNet thanks I already bought that book and finished studying it😆
Thank you for your videos. I've just met you and you are great. Will you make a video about hands?
Cheers rlly helped👊👊
At around 2:22, what determines where you draw that line and why?
your video is very much appreciated 🙏
この正確な立方体を描く方法を数学を用いて導き出した人間がいるとはびっくりです。ありがとうございます。
Could you please explain why, at 3.14, the length of the VP to Stationary Point gives the length of the VP to the Measuring Point. I understand how you do it; but why...?
Just seen your question - posted the same thing myself just now. Did you ever find an answer?
just sweet
That was perfect 👍

This video is really good
But how can I draw this perfect cube in huge size? Like 1/3 of A3 paper . I'm done as your video but still in small size 😔
I like it
My cube ended up below the horizon line. Not sure why but it looks accurate. I will continue experimenting with this and trying to understand the logic.
Ive never been more confused
What is the logic behind determining the heights.
great video, but how it would be if i wanted to draw a perfect cube if im using perspective grids
I've never heard of a diagonal vanishing point.. what is that?
One thing I’m not understanding is why the technique you used to measure the precise height of the cube works. It just seems like you’re doing some magic but I know there’s some mathematical reasoning behind it.
Even though I've mastered perspective drawing I've always wondered why that part works
What about a perfect cube below the horizon line? Or above? Or a horizon line going right trhu the cube?
3:20 It just doesn't work for me. Choosing upper left corner does. How so?
Useful
Nice!
I will convince the math teacher to draw cubes like this
Did you know, and as artists, I hope you can relate to this, that the neuro tests make the elderly with no art or interest in art draw a cube with no instruction or a reference.

My book is about how the right hand is not talking to the left hand with many aspects of our health, and people should use art to help with their caregiving.
Can you do a video in a curvilinear or 5 point perspective. I'd love to see some thing like that with a simple shape like the cube.
does this still work if the cube doesn't actually intersect with the middle of the horizon line?
yes
How did you learn this?
Is there a way to draw a perfect cube if you only know the height of the cube? I have the closest corner line only and I was to know how to find out where to draw the other vertical lines

Wow, I’m lost.
Argh, my brain...
I dont understand. If you were to follow this technique except with two cubes instead of one, then the diagonal lines of the cubes facing inward which should be parallel would end up facing two different points on the horizon.
no, they will not. If cubes ae "parallel" to each other, then parallel diagonals of both cubes will converge to the same vanishing point
Jerry jackson grew up
*_Yutaka Nakamura likes this video_*
*_F R I C K I N G K E E O O B S_*
But why does this work??
Take the laws of perspective, able it to the real world and tell me that we don't live on a level plane :)
Great video btw ;P
Bro what the fuck
There's a lot of lines but at the end of the day the top and bottom aren't even the same shape.
What do you mean?
That's bc of the perspective tho xD
2:58
what
