Drawing a perfect cube in perspective (reverse engineering the ellipse method)
In the last we looked at how we can theoretically draw a perfect cube in perspective using ellipses. In this video, I’ll teach you a variation of this method which will be much more useful when composing a drawing.
The ellipse method:

thanks man, really cleared up a lot of fog in my head regarding cubes
Nicely done. Will need to practice step by step . A different perspective to draw cubes for me. Thank you.

Thank you for watching!
2:16 This new cube is perfect because it looks the same size as the cube on the left, but how was this new one drawn? Namely, It would be so great to know, how to draw cubes of the same size but in different positions (turned up, down, rotated). It would be super appreciated if you could also do a video on that.

Good question! This method basically relies on how accurate you draw the angle that hits tangent with the ellipse. Tangencies are difficult to draw in perspective, and if you're off by even a single degree, it can really mess up the final result. Practice and experience are definitely needed.
Thank you very much
Would appreciate a video explaining the proof of concept on how a cube really is a cube in perspective, if you know it and if it's up your alley...

Could be a cool video, hopefully I will get around to it one day
Can this be redone on a darker paper
Could you add Turkish subtitles please
So the cube is in perspective but the ellipse is not in perspective

The ellipse is affected by perspective in terms of elevation. If it lies close to the horizon line it will be narrow, but if it travels further above or below the horizon line it will open up more. The minor and major axes of the ellipse are not affected by the perspective, they cut through the exact centre of it at perpendicular angles

@@thomasalexander3630 The ellipse isn't drawn in perspective to make it easier on you. And it not being in perspective isn't impactful enough to matter.
