This is such a well taught class! It taught me to not heavily rely on the more technical aspect of the horizon line, but actually to adjust those techniques via observing. Thanks, teach!

Thanks. Just the sort of comment a teacher loves to hear 😀

Thanks so much for this video. I’ve really been struggling with how to find vanishing points. I feel so much better after viewing this video.

I can't believe you can keep making this high quality content at one video per day! I have upgraded from a ballpoint to a 0.05 mm fineliner, and it has helped a ton in the details, but the lines are squigglier than the ballpoint. any tips for how to practice with fineliners?

Thanks Daniel. More like 4 a week. 😀. I don’t usually go finer than a 0.2, 0.1 only sometimes in far distant parts of a drawing. Never 0.5. I feel like it scratches more than it draws. So not really any tips. Sorry. 🫣

While going through a book about perspective for beginners I wrote down some questions, and this video does answer all of them! Thank you very much!

That’s so great Sonny! I’m so pleased. 😀

This is so helpful. I had been crazy about technique. I forgot how important to imagine and observe the perspective!

Thanks Linda. Appreciated 😀

Vanishing points contextualize the face adjacent to the face the lines converge to. The right vanishing point shows where the left side is facing and vice versa.

As a math guy, the thing that made it click for me was to realize that vanishing points aren't properties of an image- they're a property of parallel lines. A vanishing point is the result of two or more parallel lines in 3d space, projected onto 2d space. It just so happens that however you project parallel 3d lines onto 2d space, they won't be parallel in the 2d image unless they're also parallel to the plane, so they'll always meet at a point. So for a cube, with 3 sets of 4 parallel lines, you end up with 3 vanishing points (often with one infinitely far away cus one edge is usually perfectly vertical, i.e. parallel to the 2d image plane). And 2 cubes only share a vanishing point if some of their edges are parallel.

at around 12:50 when you said that it depends on what effect i want it to create, i was like "so... which ones make the effects i wanna create?" then at the same time i realized trial and error, which is actually not that bad, having a list of what to do to get a result is boring, experimenting with it is fun i realized all of this within that second albeit subconsciously but now consciously after spending time writing down this comment, which is a bit odd, my brain had an argument with itself, well, me at first, but i felt that my brain was asking new questions somehow, i dont know how one would feel that and it finished the entire argument without me knowing, wonder if thats like, something that someone who absorbs knowledge like a sponge experiences frequently, because theyll ask questions that their brain knows the answer to and immediately get an answer

Listening to the questions our brains ask is really important, but do is giving time to let it answer its own question, or refine it, or move on to the question it was really looking for the words to frame. Thanks for sharing 😀

Pls upload exercises, so we can practice after the video or during. That helps in learning.

Thanks Joe. I have several hundred videos on perspective. Some of them are just info, because from a learning point of view, it can be better to not be distractyed by trying to draw a t the same time. Lots of other videos, though, give the chance to out it all into practice.

Thank you

In some of my drawings only the first building look correct

Then there is probably some problem with the other perspectives. Buildings not at right angles to the first one have different vanishing points. Why not try my video on drawing on curved streets. It may have done helpful info on this. All the best. 😀

Im still having trouble from angles and prespective it looks easy when whatching it but when you started drawing it looks deformed or Misalignmentand you'll get frustrated 😅😂

And I’ve been there. But by identifying the error with careful comparison afterwards with the reference, and sketching it correctly, you’ll learn to get it right first time. You will. Don’t give up. 😀

Feel like I just got red pilled
