ok.. Im back.. I was drawing along..... I WAS HAVING A HORIBLE Time trying to figure out where ur little extra dots cames from until I realized. wait.. I still haven't realized where they came from. Im kind of just guessing but stuff is kind of falling together. I think I just need to practice a little more. Ill be back in a week or so with my progress. Thanks again!

I know this vid is a year old, but this was a game changer for me. I've been learning for two weeks, and did not understand how to properly rotate an object in 3D space. Changed my entire perspective (see what I did?! DID YOU SEE?!!?) on creating art.

Haha happy to read that! Old videos can still be useful :)
Man, I was drawing a cityscape with 3 point perspective but it was turning out to be too clean and boring. Then I realized, I needed to rotate some of the building and the streets they are on, to achieve more realistic and dynamic depiction of a city. And I realized, I didn't know how to rotate an object, such an oversight, 15 years of drawing and never have I ever even considered to look it up! Thank you for breaking the cycle man, really appreciate it. Means a lot.
He was a good person, he will be deeply missed. I have no doubt that there will be many many like him, it’s the natural progression of emulation of drawing. There are many who are close to him today, but one day many who are like him and better than him will emerge. Well in-terms of personality, there will only be one Kim jung gi. A kind humble person.

You are a MASTER at explaining complex ideas-especially perspective. You made me understand wide angle in such a sinple, basic way that I now “get it”-I’d been stymied on it for weeks. And though I usually fast forward through the 1 and 2 pt portions, because of your practical teaching style & perfect pacing, I kept watching. I learned a bunch of new things about concepts I’d watched hundreds of videos on! Incredible! Thank you so much!

As always good and informative video! It especially struck with me that as artists we shouldn't be too pressured to make it "perfect", just "correct-ish" enough that it still looks good regardless! It honestly surprised me a bit that there was a mistake in kim's drawing, but since most of it looks really good, the mistake didn't even matter. Thnx so much for this^^
Thank you so much man, finally someone who knows how to teach rotation both horizontally and vertically. You were sent by the gods.
Thanks my man. We all apreciate the time you take into making these.
This video and the rest offered on your channel are such an incredible resource, thanks Dr Draw. Your combination of psychology and art practice is such an untapped and valuable connection to make for any artist. Thanks so much for providing this!
I have to say your video explained rotating objects in space so well! I’m in an online art school and we moved past perspective 1-5 and I understood the basics and rules but I NEEDED to understand this objects in any direction in space from imagination and I just couldn’t get it. This video changed it for me thank you so so much!
I usually don’t comment on videos but this is just awesome! I love the way you explain all these basics, because it’s exactly what I was searching for for years! Thank you so much and greetings from Germany :D
Thank you for making this video. You really covered the different aspects of drawing the rotation, really useful and helpful.
I started drawing at the end of 2018, just wanted to draw some characters for a rpg rather than getting random images through the internet to say that it represents what I wanted to create, I wanted them to be mine, I kept practicing and improving since then, until the pandemic, where I kinda stopped drawing for a long time. I tried to get back some days and noticed that I wasn't that good anymore, everywhere that I searched for an answer, I'd always see that "I'm close to losing my art passion", if I didn't lose it already, I almost gave up on drawing. But then, instead of doing it, I decided to go back to the basics, study the forms, anatomy, proportions, perspective, and slowly try to get back to the level I was, so I can improve even more from that point, really liked ur video, I'll try the exercises later today, and keep doing them, wish me luck, fellas!
Man, thank you SO much for posting these videos. Really grateful for everything you do🙏

I just want to say thanks! ☺️ Honestly this is one of the most clear, easy to understand and actionable educational video i’ve seen about this subject. I have personally been practicing this over a few years with boxes and gradually more complicated objects, with the precise goal to be able to draw the figure from all viewpoints. Imagine my excitement when I saw the animation in the beginning of the video with the rotating figure! This video you made gave me a lot of “Aha!” moments which and I am confident that with this knowledge I can error correct my studies, which are based mostly on intuition, and those corrections will give me the feedback to help propel me further along the road to be able to rotate the figure. A long winded answer but again, thank you 🙏Such a valuable video.

Thank you so much!! I’m picking up animation and found that making my characters look around is really difficult without their heads spinning off their bodies. This is a huge help :) I looked for other tutorials on rotating a box and they’re all for more complicated softwares involving clicking, dragging, and selecting different options- leaving me lost. I’m focusing on 2D drawn animation on an old iPad, not using any fancy Adobe tools. This is exactly what I was looking for :) thanks a ton. Subscribed ✅

6:35 my workaround for estimating the outer ellipse (which i always draw inaccurately) is to draw an inner ellipse instead - make this as accurate as possible with subdivision methods, and from the newly placed VP's converge the lines towards the edges of inner ellipse's circumference to form a plane. this alternate method respects the centre of rotation too, only rotational offsets happen if the ellipse or plane is inaccurate. perspective rotation is hard enough so i dont see why other tutorials lack mention of the central axis and just drawing from new VP's will offset everything
awesome video
who wouda thunk it! Thanks for posting- The past is prologue. removing the mystifying blocks (so to speak) and demystifying their tiny constructs! well done!

Yay!! The only task at hand is practice!! thank you!
Yo I started following you on Instagram and I have to say I'm really impressed. I've also been training to draw like Gi for a while now and reach the same conclusions you did in your video's. So as of right now I'm about 5 months into just construction. I hope to study more with you in the future if your down? Thanks for the boost of inspiration homie.

Thank you.... 🙏 😔 🙏 This was my eureka moment, I think, I know I still have a long way to go, but it does seem so far now. When I was a very young boy, I would ask my Mon over and over to draw me a box and she would draw a perfect bax. Well it took me a long while to understand, what was on the paper, or in the sand, or on the wall, or on the chalk board, or wherever was always different. Finally I understood enough to ask why every box was different. She explained, in detail and I started to draw her boxes and of course the boxes became better and better. Well, I can draw and shade a perfect cube. I have programed computers as a career and know how to "rotate a plane or an array" in as many degrees as you want to divide the "universe". I have a lot of practice to do and just maybe, just maybe.... Thank you for making it so plain. The most simple things need "that teacher" to explain them. 🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏 🙏 🙏

@dalem7742
Жыл бұрын
The best I can think of is to make the x lines to find the center. First start with a point on one side of the elipse, passing through the original centerline/point of rotation, then continue the line to the other side of the elipse. Then the second line should have endpoints equidistant from the first two endpoints and also cross directly on the original centerline
@thedrDraw
Жыл бұрын
The short answer is to eyeball it. But the long answer is what Dale m says. But I would not aim for perfection, it's okay if your proportions are off. I know it feels very uncomfortable, but we're not scientists, just try to learn from each drawing and in 10 years you'll get it.
