Okay so let me get this straight... 1. You draw the initial Y 2. You plot an additional Y behind it 3. You join the two Ys together

Ahh thank you so much. I've been finding it so hard to draw through my boxes. The outside lines up correctly, but as soon as I tried to draw through, all but one of the inner lines would converge correctly. Haven't been able to improve for about 6 pages and it was really bugging me. For some reason, I didn't think about ghosting all lines again to double check they still converged. They felt right at the time so I didn't think the other branches of the Y could change it so much. You're amazing!

Whenever you feel lost it's best to go back and carefully reread the instructions and try breaking down everything into smaller steps. This way you can take your time and make sure each step is being done properly. The good news is no one really "fails" drawabox. You can only ever improve. But when faced with 250 boxes a lot of people feel overwhelmed and sometimes the mind tries to take shortcuts to save us from stress. This makes the work come out worse and stresses us out more. (Also don't forget the 50% rule, which means you should be taking breaks and having fun) But it's okay. 250 is a lot of boxes. Which means a lot of room for mistakes and improvement. Even if you only improve a little by the end, that's better than 0 improvement or quitting altogether. So remember, take your time, break it down and if you need to, take a break.

yes finally ! thank you !

Thanks for this tip, it was very helpful. Would you say this is a good technique for producing dramatic foreshorten boxes? I find this tech spot on for shallow foreshotening, but when aiming for dramatic, i have a hard time figuring out the points of the outline of the box

So after awhile at taking a stab at it, it's possible and fine. Just takes some getting use to when switching from unconfortable's method to this one.

how do you draw your boxes? can i ask you about it :D

At 6:00 you've drawn the right most vertical dotted line to the wrong dot, might want to add a correction to the video so people don't copy the same mistake, this was the reason the red lines weren't close to the same vanishing point.

@stephenc909

Жыл бұрын

She corrects it 3 minutes later though, by not following the red line when putting in the solid edge of the box

The parallel marking of the tics isnj't in the "next 50" page of the guide and I think that really helps make things make sense.

Just a question, when you're trying to project a paralel line from the dot at 2:55, it´s because the convergence point is too far away? or because those two specifically lines ( and the other pairs) needs to be parallel?

@solosisas1764

3 жыл бұрын

I'm sure it's because of your first option. I mean all the 4 lines should converge but those 2 are so close that they look like parallel for our human eyes but they're actually not parallel, just look like parallel :) And by the way. I think in the real world and not just human eye, they are actually parallel but since it would be infinity I guess the vanishing point is just a representation of that... Wow :v

Doing this to all 250 boxes sounds like torture, I'd probably be done by the time I'm 10 years older but the result is a lot neater I'm conflicted, do I have to be neat with it?

Is that diagram Uncomfortable's or yours? I think I can remember it being on the site a while ago. If it was I wonder why it was taken down

@ScyllaStew

I'm not sure which diagram you mean. But the site had undergone some updates this year. So if something is missing it would be because it's been determined to be outdated or unnecessary.

awesome. i am following your videos. thnks

It's so much easier if you draw the base or top first, you should try it out.

I'm curious: Why do you make those tick marks parallel to the Y lines? It's my impression that they should converge with the Y lines rather than being parallel. I love your process though and will experiment with some variation of it. Thank you for the video!!

So, when you are looking at your sets of lines you want to be focusing only on the lines that share a vanishing point. This does not include lines that share a corner or a plane, only lines that converge towards the same vanishing point. Now when you think of those lines, including those that have not been drawn, you can think about the angles from which they leave the vanishing point. Usually the middle lines have a small angle between them, and this angle will become negligible by the time they reach the box. This applies mainly to boxes that have vanishing points that are far away. If the vanishing point is closer (on the page for example) then the angle from which the middle lines leave the vanishing point is much greater and will make the middle lines appear less parallel. The method still applies to boxes that are closer to their vanishing points. Most people appear to struggle more when the vanishing point is far away though, that's why I did it that way for this video. You can look at this diagram to see what I mean. i.imgur.com/8PqQLE0.png

@@ScyllaStew Thanks! I've been keeping it in mind to make the line close to parallel, which has been pretty helpful. For the 250 boxes, I use the Y generator someone made and then randomly assign deep or shallow foreshortening to each axis (like, I'll let lines along the x axis be shallow and then y and z might be deep), so I definitely get plenty of close vanishing points. However, I think the randomizer I made favors far varnishing points by 60%, as Uncomfortable recommended on the website to focus a little more on shallow foreshortening.

But it's completely different from the method Uncomfortable shown in his video How to draw a box 2...

Das a good box

Great video :)! One thing I do is to always make sure the lines dont diverge, thats the first thing I prioritize. Rather forshortened box than incorrectly drawn :)

jajajajaja stop for questions xd

It's amazing how i get this technique by my self in the 7th box 😂

6:08 That line is not correct because when you first laid in your dot you arbitrarily plotted it without ghosting to the vanishing point of the middle solid line and the left vertical dot you plotted. After you plot two point on one side like you did, go ahead and draw those lines. Everything else you plot can go off those lines and you should have the box drawn very close to accurate. Youre trying to do them all at the same time which is making it harder.
