Perspective Made Easy

  • This simpler focus, a different approach to understanding and drawing perspective may suit you better than the more technical, drafting approach of many perspective teaching videos. If perspective is still an issue in your drawing, these three points may by your key!

    The fan analogy is such a great teaching device -- I always found the insistence that you should always locate your vanishing points in order to draw accurately very frustrating. I always felt, well what am I supposed to do when the scene I want to draw has vanishing point dozens of centimetres off the page?? Am I not allowed to draw those scenes if I don't have a very big ruler and a dozen sheets of paper? I find your explanation of how you think about your perspective angles very practical and refreshing. Great work as always.

    You are absolutely right: NO ONE explains this in any YT video re perspective. It's not easy to grasp, I must admit. But by 'rewinding' the vid two or three times on the particularly difficult points one gets the point. You make a lot of sense in your explanations. I think this have helped me a lot. Perspective is no picnic in the park, not even if you use 'pointillism' to draw that park. I'm adding this: your last two drawings comparing a building with correct foreshortening with the wrong one (a square window at the distance) helped me see the error better. Thanks.

    • @stephentraversart
      @stephentraversart  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Thanks Lou. Yes, I think the videos where I do comparison drawings are particularly helpful as sometimes we learn better through visual demonstration. Maybe especially if we’re artists!😆 I really am surprised how limited most of the TH-cam videos on perspective are. But possibly a lot of them are not made by artists themselves, so don’t realise the unanswered questions they raise for artists. 😀

    Thank you. I always felt like perspective drawing looked so rigid and mathematical. I don't know why but everytime perspective got involved, it didn't feel like drawing.
    With what you do it feels much more natural and understandable and easier to implement in a drawing without starting to pick a rule and put the points on the line of sight and etc.

    My brain just exploded. I've been drawing for a long time and one thing my drawings lack is backgrounds. Most of my drawings are an image floating in the middle of the page. They are good images and proportional and everything but I get lazy as far as background to return but now I'm starting to see it is my biggest weakness and I want to start having background but I want it all to make sense. I have watched a lot of videos and perspective and have drawings the use perspective I've never gotten deep into it. And one of the reasons why is as many videos as I watch one of the main questions that never gets answered is how do you figure out where to put your Vanishing points and the horizon line. Just like the artist all just know where they go and they show you you put a vanishing point here you put a vanishing point there and you draw your drawing but I've always figured there's some kind of math like geometry back it accurately determine where these points go so it's not guesswork. Where to find the horizon line portion of the video has answered so many of my questions already. I just watched an hour-long video of the massive perspectives and I walked away more confused because I'm not a mathematician. I understood the basic principles of everything he was saying but I didn't walk away feeling like I knew where to place Horizon Lines or vanishing point even though that's what the whole video is supposed to be about. Good job on this video I will watch more for sure my first one but will not be my last

      @@stephentraversart It will. There have been some drawings I have done where I ended putting the horizon line below the eye line. I knew it looked right, but I was unsure why. Other times I felt having to rely on the horizon line really constraining because of how far off a page it would have to be. I suppose I should have figured it out. Anyways... I am happy that you shared this nugget of knowledge. The clouds have parted :)
      On a side note, I worked with an artist who started out working doing architectural drawings... he told me what they had to do for perspective is tie string some times across the room.

    I have recently begun to draw and paint again after quite a number of years. I applied what I learned in this video to a neighborhood drawing this evening, and was not displeased with the result, considering that I don't normally draw buildings. Almost never, in fact. I just want to comment on how you end your videos with " ....whatever you draw .... have fun." I want to comment that this evening's exercise was painful in the extreme, but I pressed on. I left out a few things at the end because I just could not go on with this particular drawing. (Actually, it was probably quite a good point that I stopped at. Another skill is knowing when something is finished.) The upthrust is that I was Not having "fun" as when I'm doing a pencil portrait that I later realize did not come out right. Still, the level of fun would have been pretty high during the portrait drawing process. So, in order to learn, stretch boundaries, and progress, we will sometimes be doing an exercise that is not outright "fun." G'day, mate! LOVE your channel and teaching.

    The fan and compression tipps are fantastic! I just screwed up the proportions during a sketch thanks to not adequately placing the windows further away. The details looked great, yet the overall impression was incorrect because I had stretched the building along the vanishing points.
    I will redo that sketch now with more confidence! Thanks for this wonderful tutorial 🙏🏻

    @GigiMurakami 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Wow! This video was so helpful. In art school/ classes they teach the theory of 1st, 2nd and 3rd perspective but never teach you how to apply that to your actual art practice when you it comes to filling in details. How can you even get into 4th and 5th perspectives or multiple perspectives without knowing how to add details within those foundational boxes? That tip at 18:28 is invaluable.

    • @stephentraversart

    I'm writing this before watching this; I've always found it hard to learn perspective until just looking through Rafael Araujo's works, the way he breaks down everything with a geometric grid seems to have made it click for me

    The understanding of the fan helped clear up a lot of my confusion and hesitation with perspective. I'm still somewhat intimidated by it, as i cant seem to get away from not needing to know where the vanishing point is, which makes me concerned about what angle the fan lines will be at for them to meet. But this video has been very helpful.

    • @stephentraversart
