We decided to use the original drawing from this video as the giveaway that we are doing to celebrate passing 300k subscribers. Would you like the drawing to hang on your shop wall? Here is the giveaway video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m2GB19SMmJqzeLA.html

If you put a pin on each of the vanishing points it makes it easier to line up the straight edge, by pushing it up against the pin.

Eduard van lersel and put holes in the drawing?

This takes me back to my CSE in woodwork and technical drawing, I recently found all my drawings up in the loft which shows a 5 year progression, including 1st and 3rd angle projection and I still have my original A2 British Thornton T square and drawing board together with my Stabilo clutch pencils and Rotring Indian Ink drafting pens and compass. I have a couple of Moleskin plane paper notebooks where I will sketch out ideas. Thank you Paul you bought back memories and I can draw a sketch a lot quicker than using a computer. On a visit to the Red Bull F1 factory I saw Adrian Newey's drawing board as he still uses paper and pencil.

300,000 is a big number! Thank you all for subscribing. Paul wanted to do this video for a while but since we ended up filming this right around the time we passed this milestone we are thinking about making the original drawing the giveaway. Would you like the drawing to hang on your shop wall? Oh, and if you haven't already, please subscribe!

Paul, you really are a complete teacher and an inspiration to me. Thank you for your generosity!

I'm almost 47 and you just taught me this yesterday for the first time. I have NO idea how I missed it. I've used CAD programs and have sketched woodworking and construction projects in 2D and crude 3D on paper and vomputer. Thanks for this. Truly!

I literally watch every single video of you, and yet I am still amazed every single time. Thank you!

This man.. this man.. Thanks so much Mr Paul for all the knowledge you are sharing, I've learned so much from You in the last year and a half. Appreciate immensely!

I enjoyed this video immensely. I was taught this method in my drafting classes in college about 15 years ago. Definitely makes me want to brush off my drafting tools and sketch something out!

Brilliant! Thank you, sir. You're so good at taking things that seem hard and making the understandable.

Master Paul makes it so easily, I can´t believe my eyes, thanks again Mr. Sellers.

Bob Ross of carpentry :) So simple and yet looks so beautiful. Thanks for this.

well except for the humungus tree right in middle of the drawing using a 4“ brush just before he‘s finished 😂

Been woodworking now for 2 years and i do always make a drawing, but was struggling with different perspectives. This will be a great help, glad i found it. Thanks!

I have been intrigued about your sketch book since you showed it during the clock project. I’ve sat down a few times and tried following a book on PD and this seems far more helpful. You sir are not only a craftsman but a well rounded artist. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you. So simple and so direct to the point. Made up a little T Square with some leftover ash and just drew on my drawing pad. Was so relaxing - at the kitchen table to boot. And I noticed that my wife and I could talk easily and very relaxed while I drew. Much more so than when drawing on the computer. Have spent years drawing CAD including solid modelling and this is just like hand tool woodworking. Very relaxing with very nice results as well. Thank you again!

This is the clearest explanation I’ve come across about perspective! A classmate shared this with me and I’m so glad he did! Thank you for making this super helpful video!

Paul, Thank you for another Gem...I have tried and tried to explain to family members what I am deciding to create around my home, but to no avail I just end up building it and then they would understand. About 3 years ago I started learning from KZread instructors Prodrafting and Circle Line Art School. It's a lot and I wish that I listened in my Mechanical Drawing Classes over 40yrs ago. One thing I can say is that it's never too late. I will watch this one over and over till I get it right. So far with my other builds after watching your videos I drew Top, Side and Front Block Diagrams to put what I wanted on paper but Perspective Drawings are the way to go. Thank you again. Reggie.

Yet again Paul, you've hit the button. 15 mins of enlightenment whilst drinking my first cup of tea. Well done on your 300K subscribers, you've certainly changed my approach to woodworking. Patience is everything. "Haste makes Waste".....as the Samurai Carpenter says!

Thank you Paul. This is very straightforward. Having said that, if it weren't for this video I wouldn't have learned about it so I appreciate the video.

Very practical method. Another valuable teaching from master Sellers.

Simple , functional and beautiful. Thank you Paul!

Brilliant tutorial my Friend. Thank you for all you put into these. Yes Congrats on your achievement.

I have almost finished serving my apprenticeship . My teacher . Paul Sellers . this man has taught me everything i know . thank you paul .

Like Ray Smith this video took me back - to my years at Enfield Technical School (later Ambrose Fleming school). About 65 years ago, we had lessons in technical drawing (mainly electrical circuits), but we also had Art, where we learned about perspective drawing and colour wheels. Unfortunately, the Art teacher - who was getting on a bit - did not have a great deal of control of a bunch of hyper-active boys, and I think we lost the opportunity to learn a lot from a very gifted man as the lessons degenerated into near riots on many occasions. I was fascinated by perspective, with vanishing points and then measuring points, and possibly was often the only pupil paying attention. It saddens me that I cannot remember the teacher's name - but then there are lots of things I can't remember now! One thing I do remember was getting my set of drawing instruments in its black case, and finding that the lid was still a little loose when the pin was pushed in from the side, so the instruments shifted out of their recesses. I thought that the holed tag in the lid that the side pin entered to hold the lid shut was screwed in, so tried twisting it with pliers to screw it in a little further. 'Ping' it went as the thin metal snapped off - it was simply pushed in. Ever since, a procession of elastic bands have been needed to keep the case closed! The other memory stirred by Ray's post was that the first Technical Drawing lessons were devoted to learning how to create a chisel point on our pencils. It took too long for me, so I got hold of a German (?) flat-lead propelling pencil, and used that. I always finished projects well before the other boy as I didn't have to spend time with pen-knives and sandpaper on wooden pencils. I thought I was so clever!

Congratulations on the subscribers topping 300 K! Thanks for this - I'd quite forgotten perspective methods. I still prefer paper and pencil to CAD for many things , still retaining much of my professional Thornton and Reifler instruments. Drawing's a very tactile activity and brings back good memories...

Wow Paul, haven't been this inspired by a KZread video in a long time! Thank you for letting me/us follow you along! You're a great inspiration to me, and your content is always so fascinating!

You are a very gifted Man. Congratulations on your 300K!!!!

Hi Mr Sellers I am from Brazil but living in South Africa and into woodwork as well. I just want to say that I respect you and appreciate your knowledge and teaching ,which bring me so much understanding. Thank you for sharing it to us ! Blessings!

Reminds me about doing woodwork and technical drawing at school in the late 1970s. A great tutorial. Many thanks from Yorkshire.

Brilliant explanation, and demonstrating how easy a prospective drawing can be. As well as how you can move your project around on the page, and show what it will look like Thank you for sharing

Wow. I thought I had a pretty good system for my designs. 15 minutes well spent. Thanks again Paul.

Thank you Sir, I have learned so many things from you. You are a very talented Gentelman. God Bless you.

I have watched every single one of Paul's videos on KZread at least 3 times. I love them all. This one is purely amazing. I should have known that Paul could break down drawing the same way he beaks down hand tool work. I imagine if Paul had gone into biology instead of woodworking this would be a world free of illness. I am very proud to be a part of his 300k subscribers. Yes.Yes. And yes to giving away the drawing. It would make a treasure for whoever won that.

Spectacular. Best lesson on drawing I’ve seen

So very happy to see this Mr Sellers! Now you are stepping into my world and I see that you have done a wonderful job. Explaining perspective is this simple and far too many people make it too intimidating. Thank you. ~Clayton

I think it's because I never had a lesson nor watched anyone any where do it perhaps.

Took me back to Elementary School when we learned perspective drawing. Very nice presentation and I didn't have to sit in a desk that was too small like I did back in the day.

Paul, thank you for sharing this amazing technique. Can't wait to apply this.

I have been dying for a video like this! Thank you!!

Excellent job on both the perspective drawing and the number of subscribers!

Very interesting and helpful tutorial Paul!! Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge with all of us!!

Very well drawn and explained. Thanks for the refresher course......for me last drawn in 1968. ....13

Finally, I’ve read several book chapters on perspective, but it just didn’t “click” in my head until I saw your video. Thank you.

was taught this in school in the 90s and I use the skill all the time, very useful in my profession

Incredible video watching the box coming together was awesome. Thank you.

Thanks Paul, O love isometric drawing and have used it for years free hand, but I like your method much better and far more precise.

Just up my drawing skills.

I draft out everything I make with paper and pencil.I took drafting in high school for 4 years,was thinking of becoming an architect or engineer. I've used those skills many times in my life since,a few to design a couple things for a company here and there that I was working for at the time to make our job easier and safer,JLG Lifts was one company and they still use my design 15 yrs later. When I was in the beginning years of grade school I used to draw perspective views of city skylines and skyscrapers with windows,doors,streets,etc.Never knew about this way,did it all freehand.

Paul. You dark old horse you! That was absolutely brilliant! A truly enjoyable video. Cheers Bro!

If you rotate the pencil while drawing a line along a ruler you'll find your lines will always be thin, even and crisp. Also you'll be sharpening less often as you're not relying on the sharpness of the tip. It takes a bit of practice but it's not that difficult. Thanks for sharing this tecnique on perspective drawing. And yes, put my name in the hat for the drawing :)

Congratulations on 300k! You are amazing Paul and thank you for teaching the community! You're an inspiration to all, and for that I thank you! I would love a Paul Sellers original drawing! I would take it and build a frame for it and hang for all to see!

Top class as normal Paul you make it look so easy thanks again

Congratulations Paul on 300k! This video reminds me of technical drawing lessons at school,eye and hand co-ordination.Nowadays it would all be done by a teen on a computer in 30 seconds!😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

A trick I learned a long time ago when using the pencil to show shadow (or any soft darkening) is to rub the pencil lines lightly with your finger right after laying down the graphite. This softens the edges of the pencil lines and greatly enhances the visual suggestion of a shadow.

Great tips as always. If I may ask, I would like to see some camera images really close to details, when Mr. Sellers work on small things, especially on woodworking videos. Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for help with Art! You made it simple.

Thanks Paul, I had some formal education on basic mechanical drawing and single point perspective in about 1980. It was time for an update. Sometimes the CAD is simply not the best or most handy tool.

Congrats on 300K. Thank you.

Dear Paul. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I keep learning from you.

Takes me back to my late 60's and Tech Drawing.... Even though I have sketch up, I still use the T square and paper etc. Where do you find the time Paul (and team)? You seem to be putting something out every day. be it Master Class, You Tube or Blogs etc. I do enjoy them. Congrats for the 300K.. You deserve it.

Excellent tutorial. Drawing has always been my weakest part of woodworking. Thanks Paul.

You literally knocked my socks off!

*blinks* I've been trying to figure out how to do this for my entire life. I just could never quite get it before. I literally just learned a new skill in fifteen minutes.

Great video. Thanks. Great help for some like me who really don't know how to draw at all!

Really very instructive and a great learning tutorial. Regards Paul!

thank you very much!!!!! this makes it so easy!!

Thank you Paul! Amazing work

Wish I could go to your school but its to far so you videos are golden thank you for sharing your life work

Just learning this at college but we have fancy boards with built in rulers to keep us square. Good to know how you do it Paul

Nicely done and explained, as usual. Thanks.

Very nice. I'd like to see more of these. But with darker lines please.

I learned how to do this in high school in Drafting class. I still say this is what I would prefer to most of the computer software programs for getting ideas into a visual form. I'm not knocking those programs, because they can be useful too. I just think this is more open ended and easier because you don't have to concentrate so much on how to use the software. You can concentrate more on getting your ideas into visual form with drawing.

This is great! Ive always liked your drawings!

Awesome! While you can of course find other videos on perspecrive drwaing as well, posting this video reminds me that there is more to drawing projects than just mediocre sketches with measurements!

I made a tee square just like that out of wood.I think a ROLLING rule is best for drawing parallel lines.

Wonderful video!!! Thank you!

Outstanding. It would be wonderful to see Paul draw a project at the beginning of the respective video.

I have always loved technical drawing. Now everything seems to be done with CAD programs.

My father tried to teach that to me when I was a kid, but there were some key points that I missed, and I never could get it right. Thanks for filling me in on them.

I remember doing something like this at school, I think they called it isometric drawing, you can build up quite complex pictures.

I learned something, Thank you!

I remember doing orthographic projections in drafting class. Think I remember using combo of t-square and triangle. Wonder if it would come back to me if i threw together a quick drafting board.

I remember doing this in art class in school, fun project.

I would be very interested in seeing/learning more of your tips for drafting. I hope I'm not the only one interested.

This is amazing!! Thank you!

thanks for sharing I really love this.

That is refreshingly old school in the days of Sketchup and other CAD programs. I also prefer paper and pen in the beginning. I feel I become more creative with a pen. CAD is good to set the exact dimensions.

This was great! Thank you for showing us this. Any more lessons?

I'd LOVE to be able to display that drawing in my workshop to be able to not only visualize a project, but also receive continuing inspiration from a Master woodworker.

Excellent tutorial!

Fantastic!!!!!

Thanks, you are an education.

This is a really neat video and a useful technique! It would be great in a future video if you could add a little more light over the drawing surface, or even if there's a contrast boosting feature on the KZread editing options it would be very helpful. Keep it up!

amazing, thank you!

Gracias por el tutorial . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thanks so much !

That's very good. Basic drafting skills are being replaced by programs like Google Sketchup and it is a real shame. The ability to take out a pencil and pad and sketch a drawing is an invaluable skill whether it be for carpentry or even placing your furniture within a room. If you ever do a follow up you might discuss how to draw ovals to represent circular shapes in a perspective drawing. I recall that being one of the most difficult things to master. I remember sketching a rectangular Lego block with its 8 raised circular pins as an exercise. I think I learned more about geometry, angles and using a compass producing that than I did in all my previous mathematics courses combined.

I cant stand those programs. I get why they exist but there is too much to remember. Free hand sketching means I just have to remember to touch the paper with the pencil. With these sketch programs I have found it the design is complex in my head then it will be twice as complicated to accomplish on sketchup. My hands almost always do exactly what I tell them to.

@robertanderson6929

Well, I liken those programs to a power planer. Certainly one can produce sized stock more quickly and accurately with the machine than with a hand plane. But using the hand plane requires a far more in depth knowledge of wood, their grains and the very nature of the material. Likewise mechanical drawings done by hand requires one to use their own imagination to visualize and produce accurate representations rather than rely upon an algorithm to produce them. So, where someone with the experience of "reading" wood is more likely to get better results from a power planer so too is someone capable of making hand drawings more likely to produce better results using a drawing program. This is why I am so delighted to see Paul demonstrating these skills to someone that may never have used a hand plane or tried to produce a mechanical drawing by hand.

@@robertanderson6929 I just find the program too disruptive to the creative process within my own person designs. I've used sketchup and still do when I'm doing cabinets. But when I'm trying to design a desk or a dresser I find the program takes me too out of touch with all the elements that go into it. To me the drawing is just as much part of the piece as the wood itself. I've queen people use these programs very efficiently but to me personally, it takes away from the personality. Like using a table saw to cut dovetails. Sure you can do it with ease but why do it but it's no easier than doing it by hand and eye.
