The thing which helps me the most with Perspective, is intuition. Like observing your surroundings first and how the lines behave as you, the station point move. How fast the foreshortening comes as you go from left to right and vice versa. Also, the rotation of the planes of an object and the difference between the exposure of the said plane as you move away or towards it. Like a table, as you move towards it, the face of the table will be more visible than when you get away from it. Second most important thing is Box rotation in any axes. This was the turning point for me when i understood how to make a box rotate as i imagined it to. With this knowledge, anything can be drawn. But, requires heavy practice. I realised what Perspective actually is that, first Rotation, then second, organizing the rotated objects in a scene. First one's gotta develop this intuitive sense then can approach the material of books like Scott Robertson's, as your mind automatically answers all the "Why's and How's", this making it a smooth sail. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, lol!
Your final two slides are probably the best. Simply because they show the looseness of the artist and not the rigidity from dogmatic instruction. As you mention early on, pulling from the instruction and using the guideline as a path toward drawing your own thing is better than rote copying of published text. Many artists fall into that trap with both Robertson and Bridgeman.
I wouldn’t say dogmatic instruction as I learned a lot from it both in terms of concepts as well as educating my visual perception. I get what your saying though. It’s easy to just copy without any understanding of what you are doing.
I find Krenz Perspective course is the best out of the bunch if you are less on the engineer side and more on the illustration side. Because he takes everything from Scott/Meyer/Olson but applies to more dynamic and artistic (for lack of a better word) processes. Albeit going through the courses you have (I have aswell) is very valuable if you can't rest ease not understanding all the intricate details of linear perspective.
Perspective did not click for me until watch both gary meyers gnomone workshop videos and marshall vandruffs 1990s Perspective course.(he is supposed coming out with his new one this year according to a recent interview with proko).both were recommended it radio runners self taught curriculum for artist. Scotts and erik olson stuff made me want to jump off a cliff😂😂😂. I tried numerous times with there stuff. Perspective i found hard to learn from a book, and olsons i never can never past hour 10 or so of olsons massive course. he way over complicates things to the point where it feels like im supposed to be sort of engineer just to draw lol. Dan beardshaw also has great tutorials on youtube.
Great that you found your way through it! I have an engineering background, so Olson’s and Scott’s approaches feel really natural. I think it’s one of those things that each person needs to find their way. I hope Marshall’s updated course really comes out, he is awesome!
@@sketch-habit I did they first playlist and I see BIG progression and sometimes I go back to that playlist. But can you really check out this playlist LINEART PERSPECTIVE? Because as a person who had experience with perspective courses you can say it's a good or bad alternative. Not just for me, but also for other people who don't have enough money to buy courses like that. I already have ,,How to draw" book, I even translate it to my national language, but I have to see this, step by step. I understand the concept and everything but sometimes it is hard for me to draw it. And, I know Dan Beardshaw already has a playlist about those exercises but still. I just want to know.
Thank you for making a good video. Can you tell me how you studied this book? I'm studying this book, too, but it's very difficult, and I don't know how to study it
Yeah! How to Draw is not the best entry level. I’d suggest Perspective Made Easy if you haven’t drawn before. I made a video guide to studying How to Draw and Framed Perspective 1. You can find it here on the channel. Hope it helps!
I'm working on a Dynamic Sketching video, but for now try to gather references from artists using the method, such as Norman Schureman, Peter Han, Patrick Ballesteros, Sorie Kim, and even students from classes like CGMA. There is great stuff out there to be studied in terms of line quality and textures.

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing! I have seen a very good tutorial by Krenz on rotating boxes. Great option indeed :)

🤯🤯🤯 thank you for sharing this!!
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
What about SOTA DRAWING DATABASE playlisty LINEART PERSPECTIVE? What do you think about that?
I haven't heard of that before, thanks for sharing! Looks really interesting :)

@@drawing3433 I haven't watched them all, but what I've seen from the videos looks good. It reminds me a bit of NMA's course by Erik Olson.
@@sketch-habit Okey, I'm really thank you you answered me, that's mean a lot for me and I appreciate that

@@sketch-habit Thank you for your reply. Can you tell me how you studied this book? I will also watch the video you mentioned.
Oh, the video is quite helpful. Thank you
loved it can u make a vedio on how u learned dynamic sketching i can construst object in perspective but am struggling with line quality texture etc😂

Imma just eyeball it 😂
It works as well haha just a lot of practice 🙃
