Figure Drawing Lessons 3/8 - How To Draw Perspective - Drawing Two Point Perspective

[@KatieKitKat97]

God bless this man for giving these tutorials! ♡

[@MyDrawingTutorials]

+KatieKitKat97 Thank you very much! And you are very welcome :-)

[@josephchauvin1973]

+Bill Gates debate me.

[@josephchauvin1973]

Do not test the Lord your God, and to believe in only what you see by science is ignorant because you can't. It is not illogical to believe in a timeless and imaterial cause that created the universe. I find that to be more scientific than the big bang theory becauss the big bang theory believes something came from nothing for no reason. But the cause would have to be timeless cause because it was before time itself.

[@josephchauvin1973]

Bill Gates​

[@josephchauvin1973]

Bill Gates if you were blind, would you believe in anything? A logical man can believe things that they cant see. You assume that there are not any dinosaurs on the planet without having been to every single place on earth to make sure its not there. The big bang theory is impossible because something cant come from nothing, every living thing has a cause as well as everything thing. I'm not saying that because the big bang is hard to believe then there is a god, i'm saying that there is evidence (which is what you wanted) towards a immaterial and timeless cause. Which is what we know as god. I'm not attacking you i'm having a discussion on the topic to resolve an issue.

[@SandyMcVey]

I like how you teach the principals of drawing, so that we can eventually apply this to drawings besides the human figure. Most of the other tutorials just show you specifically how to draw something or how to shade something for a specific example, but not how to shade in general.

[@MyDrawingTutorials]

You're very welcome! Glad you liked it.

[@kayalnaidoo6706]

You’re genuinely an excellent teacher man, thank you for making sense lol

[@maryhoward7142]

Thank you so much. I have struggled to understand perspective before and you make it much easier.

[@MyDrawingTutorials]

+Mary Howard Glad it helped, Mary!

[@beccag2758]

Instructor: If we did our measurements correctly these 4 dots should line up Me: hahahahaha I'm gonna restart now

[@amandabirenbach463]

Every time ! 😂

[@joaquinacevedo8485]

The most clear and complete tutorial on proportions

[@markkai3871]

I like the participatory aspect of your tutorial. By engaging the student to draw with your teachings step by step really help. Thank you very much.

[@wwilkins97]

Very nice job! You have taken this complicated subject, broken it into simple steps, and made it doable for beginners. I congratulate you, sir. This lesson not only taught me perspective, but was way more helpful in shading than anything else ive seen. Thank you!

[@thirunavukkarasup1381]

The instructor isa born gifted teacher with his patience to explain small details to understand well. Thank you teacher!

[@augustthurmer6972]

You are a born teacher, thank you very much. August Thurmer

[@geraniumpungatara6958]

Wow! that was a very clear, easy to follow and precise tutorial, thank you Ethan look forward to more classes.

[@ahmed79656]

i will thank you for every tutorial i watch man :) thanks alot

[@shellster007]

Great tutorial. I think this makes perspective very understandable.

[@Kouyou160]

This is really boring but I have to learn it.

[@CyrusLiao]

Me too

[@noorkihder3315]

🤣🤣🤣 ya it killing me

[@monasticculture5194]

LOL!!! But He is really breaking everything down. One of the best video I seen on this topic!!! LOL!!! I am dead!!! tho

[@theruthmyster]

Very boring and so long

[@ambrona6424]

boring- n o

[@SeventhDoorOpen]

thanks a ton for the vid. i've got a question. isn't the horizon line go up if the person sitting on the ground and go down if the person on weed and floating on the sky?

[@TheSizzleSisters]

omg lol and yeah that's what he said.

[@SeventhDoorOpen]

Oliana Arts my mistake

[@shaynewilliams4482]

no i think he said it backwards cause i was thinking the exact same thing

[@nameredactedmessageretract7225]

He did say it backwards, but you are correct.

[@vivid_swatch2091]

Actually, I believe he meant if the person sitting down is looking straight (as in, their eye level). What you're saying would apply if the person sitting down was looking at an upward angle.

[@MatheusHenrique0]

Thank you very much for these tutorials.

[@jorunninger]

u r the man is what ppl should be saying, thanx bud!

[@彭昊-s4s]

thank you for giving us these elaborate videos

[@carlmcintyre3379]

I think that these lessons have been great, I am doing research, to learn how to move from landscape painting into Portraits. Love your stuff!

[@seiraloyard]

Your tutorials are very detailed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in drawing.

[@MrGentlemanism]

Hey! Really wanted to thank you for these videos. I've been getting into drawing lately since I quit smoking weed, and these have been really helpful to set up a sturdy basis.

[@gandalfthegrey98]

Hey man, really like these tutorials! you do a great job explaining what is hard to understand as a beginner artist! thank you!

[@midwestchaos1]

Dude best stuff I have seen like you explain stuff. I mean it's not hard but the internet has so much broken information. Good stuff!

[@MyDrawingTutorials]

Thank you, I'm glad it helps.

[@Hotshotter3000]

I've been drawing for years, but my problem is being unable to retain the stuff I learn. Since there were times in which I felt that, if I just continued, I'd be a pretty good pencil artist and be able to draw stuff from imagination. Only problem is, I often get caught up with other things and it's weeks or more than a month before I return to my stuff, and by that time I forget what I do. Your videos are a major help since they're easier to follow and more clear than some books. At any rate, I'm hitting the books as I do this as well. I'm sure you've read the stuff by Andrew Loomis.

[@HighChiefTauai]

Best tutorials man! Thanks heaps! I've been messing around with drawing for ages. I knew bits and pieces, but in 1hour, and your first 2 tutorials, I am already much better!

[@antonioa5657]

Very useful lesson, thank you very much for sharing it. One question though, should't the bottom circle be larger than the top one? It looks like the top sphere occupies more of the room in the box, while the bottom one doesnt. Appreciate your help. Keep it up!

[@emmahamilton1514]

Is it because we are looking down on the bottom sphere from higher up so we can see more of the space around it? Also unrelated to this there’s some distortion because his piece of paper isn’t straight on to the camera.

[@judithmascarenhas7500]

Hi. Thank you for this video. I need some clarifications though. So I am using an A4 sheet and I tried this both horizontally and vertically with the vanishing points placed and the ends of the paper. I'd like to know what size is the paper, because I am not able to make my perspective in a proper square like shape. I followed the measurements too but I'm not sure why that's happening. Thanks for your inputs.

[@dalemammoser2660]

I love it .I have a new interest now .Dale

[@jaysvehla1627]

i liked it,you did a great job explaining the process.

[@Dan21278]

Never learned the basics so this is pretty helpful

[@nitinpotdar]

Excellent .. i loved watching and have learnt so much in one video. Thanks for all your efforts.

[@kathleenhancock6425]

I'm a complete beginner to art and have been playing around with watercolours, which I love, but have realised if I want to improve my drawing I need to understand perspective. Thank you so much for your lessons... I have a stack of boxes with the correct perspective with 3 spheres inside them... love it. However, I am a little confused regarding the spheres! Am I correct in thinking you used the same sized circles for each box, have assumed so. Thanks again, the most comprehensive lessons I have come across so far. x

[@errindonahue17]

Thanks - this is very clear and concise! Much appreciated.

[@SkaterBoyProductions]

Thx alot bro! I had no idea that in depth perspective had so much to do with figure drawing, im glad I found your ch and videos. This was so intuitive, so ty and Keep it up!!

[@MrDvinci8]

wow i have really been learning a lot

[@hilippu]

Thank you so much! I can't wait to start putting these lessons into practice.

[@PennPensiveProd]

im starting my drawing skills from scratch and u are helping me a ton!

[@leonpeters2713]

I did this perfect right up until the circles😂

Nicely done. A helpful review/ reinforcement. Thanks!

[@stevehicks6797]

When I drew the house, I figured out what I was doing wrong up to now. I was very careful about the major lines being in perspective. It was the little lines, like the eves on the house, I drew them wrong and the drawing looked stupid. I wanted to go back to my way of doing it, but I thought I would try your way and behold, Ii was right. Thanks for that little bit of information, and straightening me out.

[@kyejinlee1]

this is such a good video !! I am going to show this video to people!

[@lollmaopftnovelstoday2314]

u made learning easy and interesting.thanks a lot

[@SHELLAC85]

Subscribed to these. Just finished this vid. Great stuff so far. Thank you from Ireland:)

[@ronaldjackson4052]

Very helpful vid. Basics are still helpful

[@MyDrawingTutorials]

+Ronald Jackson Glad to hear that, Ronald!

[@BarneyWoland]

Great lessons! Thank you very much!

[@merriilin]

Excellent. Thank you so much😍

[@GolapDasgupta]

Thank you very much for this video.

[@faristhewanderer6571]

man! your a great teacher!

[@SHIVAMTHUKRAL1]

really helpful for me , thankyou ethan :)

[@rachellemaster1611]

Great video!! I've learned so much from you and it is really helping me draw better

[@alokitatiwari4435]

very helpful... thankyou so much for uploading this video

[@AndersonToppin]

Bro ur classes r awesome

[@ibinkwiyevassilycharite7143]

thanks a lot bro. I've learn a lot from your tutorials..

[@yancur]

@Jared Walters the circles/spehers should be smaller on the lower "levels" because they are further from the camera's view point. The biggest one would be one intersecting horizon line..

[@franciscaclaro459]

Thanks!! I'm willing to learn perspective and live figure drawing too. Your tutorial was very clear to follow. I'll subscribe right now !

[@maede1022]

Thank you very much 🌼

[@stanfordmatthews5886]

This video was really helpful for me because i struggle with perspective! Thanks :)

[@DavidWilson-me6bs]

Hi Ethan, wasn't expecting to cover the perspective subject so soon, however I should have. I read Andrew Loomis' book some time ago. I must confess, looked too in-depth!

[@MyDrawingTutorials]

+David Wilson Hi Wilson, perspective is a very important subject. I love Loomis's books. I'm going through his head drawing book right now. Although it is hard to follow the concepts through a book.

[@randomaccountwithmusic4206]

these tutorials are great but i expected with lesson 2 proportions i would also get taught how to draw the mass around the basic stick figure is that something were gonna learn in a later tutorial?

[@dejameperonomeolvide]

! Im learning a lot tanks to you!!!

[@pgam6529]

For those of us freehanding the circles... How would we go about drawing so that they would be uniformed/within perspective within the planes

[@GaminGurls]

your tutorials are amazing!!

[@cocacolafiesta]

Wow! Followed you with first tutorial and got it! Now with all these lines I have three 3D spheres! You are a great instructor! Thank you!

[@Higher_Perspective_Art]

If the light source is close to the horizon line, wouldn't we only see the shaded area of the circle? or more like a silhouette with the circles edge being lit more than the center mass?

[@taraswick3586]

love the homework, especially when I use it according to spaced repetition.

[@nidaamin5034]

tooooooooooooooooo............... awesome tutorials thousands of thumbs up

[@dadmaxx8641]

Nice lesson. I'm a bit confused on the light source. It seemed like your sun was way in the distance behind the objects...or were you assuming that the light source or sun was behind the viewers right shoulder?

[@egrajeda88]

I wonder what mechanical pencil you use, or recommend? I've been wanting to make the switch from a regular graphite pencils to a mechanical pencil. Any suggestions?

[@-kiwiflower3783]

hey i have the same pencil, though you may not care 4 years later he has a graphgear 500 by pentel

[@liv.camargos]

Wow. Enchanting

[@LerethonStudio]

Nice tutorial!

[@snowey1337]

what about the items above the horizon line? are they measured with the vanishing point too?

[@cherryeclipse822]

I just learned perspective in art class but hey it’s great to review :3

[@UltimateDrag11]

So helpful

[@SweetSinger789]

Thank you so much! Not to brag or anything, but now my spheres actually look 3-dimensional! Thanks! :3 You're awesome!

[@ricardomunoz2010]

Amazimg work.

[@Bellanzarite]

For the people complaining about using spheres: these videos are in the context of learning how to draw the human figure in perspectives. Humans are round, not made of boxes.

[@tivednagol9127]

Does one-point perspective _have_ to always be at the center of a page? Can it be on the side?

[@Ghostcandycorn]

I learned this in school it was fun

[@pinoficara]

good job! thanks

[@SweetLikeHoneyDew]

I already knew about the 1-perspective, and learned the other two in art class, but this is so helpful for drawing. Thanks.

[@tristangamelover95]

great skill

[@IceProductions2000]

thanks. it helps me a lot

[@0UNTHINKABLE0]

if i want to know more about perspective , what should i look for ?

[@serajstyle]

well done, thanks you made it piece of cake

[@ilegalx360]

great exercise dude

[@MyDrawingTutorials]

FEED YOUR FUNNY Thank you!

[@PersianKevin]

the point is ur objects r usually on the ground! so if ur up in the sky u look down to see ur objects so ur horizon appears on the top of the drawing. and if ur sitting u have to look up to see the objects so the horizon is placed on the button of the page. its the fact that u some times look up and down to see ur objects depending where stand and it causes u to see the horizon line above or under the place ur looking at!

[@timentimentimen]

12:19 : "I'm going to make it slightly wider of a space". Is there a way to determine exactly where that line should be, given the two vanishing points and the fact that we are drawing cubes with equal sides?? You would think there would be a formula with sines and cosines and stuff.

[@shohanrahman1634]

I was thinking the same. Is there a general rule for how much "wider of a space" it should be, given the positions of the two vanishing points?

[@chrisstocco]

Same for me. I fear that is matter of mathematical rules involving calculations that do not pay the effort. So, is better to use eyes and common sense. Or, with environments rich in geometric objects, build them with blender and draw over the render

[@TheOmgitspeanut]

Reffer to video 2 is what I'd say ;)

[@markusart3d]

Yes you can. Once you've drawn the first side of your cube, draw a horizontal line (parallel to the horizon line) at the base of the front corner of the cube. Then draw a line from your right vanishing point that intersects the back left bottom corner of your first side and connects to your horizontal line. Measure the distance between the two points on the horizontal line. Then on the right side of your front corner, measure out on your horizontal line the same distance and make a point. Make a line from that point back to the left vanishing point. The place where that line intersects the base line of your second side is the place at which the two sides are equal in size.

[@timentimentimen]

Mark Whitbread Awesome! I'm going to think about why this is true, but it seems to working very well, thanks!

[@ititrx]

Nice, but the circles werent in perspective like the boxes. But still very good explanation.

[@vader9133]

***** Actually, It was because you have the concept of overlapping backwards. Then the circles get closer to the horizon line, they should overlap less, and overlap more the further they go from the horizon. You have it so that the circles overlap more when close to the horizon.

[@hektor6766]

dots on each side as well as the tops and bottoms of the cubes would've located all the contact points of the spheres, drawing from those would've put the spheres in perspective.

[@wendellpo3814]

ur vedios are awesome

[@mastervule1844]

Thanks for vid man! :D

[@MyDrawingTutorials]

***** You're welcome! :-)

[@JethroJemirade-xb3sv]

Thank God I already know perspective and shapes 😝

[@locussolus9997]

it would be great for this video tutorial to be remastered or remade to be hd.

[@jerrywaters4814]

Have you ever seen 5 point perspective. It mind boggling

[@storyspice974]

it's Ethan!

[@killtill691]

I am having problem with shading can u suggest what to do for shading

[@billk6494]

Sharing on Google Plus part 3 of 8 perspective..

[@susankievman642]

Is there any video that explains how to show the road going uphill or downhill?
