The best video on this subject that I have found! The simple straight forward approach without a lot of extra information. The quick hand demonstrations are highly effective tools for pedagogy.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@elliria_home]

Thank you. This was very helpful. It's interesting how most discussions like this focus on just the placement of their heads, but you managed to provide the missing link by demonstrating lining not just heads, but sometimes ankles or other body parts up with the horizon line depending on our vantage point and the layout of what we're drawing. I learned something today.

[@marigoldwood8494]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just tried a small painting using your tip of putting all the heads at the horizon line and for the first time my piazza scene turned out more or less how I wanted it to rather than either having an uphill piazza or a scene that looked as if it had been taken by a drone!😀

[@Anikanoteven]

Thank you for all of your tutorials. They make difficult concepts much easier to understand!

[@poratl]

Great explanation Lyron, thank you, thank you and Toda

[@LionofJudah7771]

Thanks Liron. This was super helpful

[@matthewdavis9437]

For those confused, by tall, he means high. Higher on the page/drawing. Not actually taller.

[@LironYan]

Yes my bad 😅

[@NothingHereForYou]

I didnt think this would be as challenging as i thought it would be, so far this has been harder than simplifying figures to put into scenes. Perspective even felt easier, but this mapping out and proportioning everything with composition has been the hardest for me when learning storyboarding.

[@user-un3eb7mc6h]

Thank you. Huge help!

[@venkatramamurthi]

Thanks Liron . Your process of teaching is great . I have watched couple of your videos and loved them . I am pretty new to drawing but have a mindset of a engineer with top/side/bottom views . I am going to watch some more of yours but do you have any playlist for beginners else I will get lost in your huge collection of videos and not start anything . Thanks once more .

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 I get that engineering mind, I feel like I also have it in a way! Here's a more beginner / technique oriented playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp-rfohnaLJ7d8U It's not ordered in any particular way, but every video there will be good for beginners (probably even the ones labeled "Advanced" or "Intermediate" 😉). Enjoy!

[@pilasumana4410]

Excellent tutorial on drawing people and surroundings from a perspective view. Next, I will go over it, to make the annotations & drawings to keep the concepts on paper & hand when needed. Thanks.

[@rimshaa3923]

thank you .helped a lot.

[@SpottedOtter7]

This is the simplest explanation I’ve heard. Thank you.

[@sonseraedesigns7167]

Thank you Lyron. I really need to learn more perspective. You made it very clear and I appreciate this. I love your videos.

[@judyfranklin9577]

Excellent demonstration Liron you clarified a lot for me . Thank you you are very helpful and explain well .

[@DaveWhitmore421]

Thank you for this! You've really broken down how to portray the individual parts of a scene using the horizon line.

[@gtwomey0423]

Thank you. Great job on your explanation.

[@anitalornie1743]

Wow, so simple, excellent information!

[@MaureenWest]

Excellent video. I will be sharing it with my sketching friends. Thank you.

[@theresarowe1656]

Thank you so much. All new to me and very well explained.

[@lindabucketlistjourney3480]

Thank you. Excellent explanation and lesson.

[@marinasidko8509]

Thank you a simple explanation. Super useful.

[@pilasumana4410]

Also, I just learned you’re a watercolor artist! Thumbs up, I will be following you, not once on a blue moon 🌙 but closer to 🌍

[@otodidact6134]

Very helpful, thank you Liron 😎

[@birgitblume7877]

SO useful! Thank you!!!

[@ngocthaodrawing]

So helpful video. Thank you so much.

[@amber5675]

I didn't know I need this but it solves a lot of my problems! Thank you for the vid ♡

[@sallywright5503]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@t2terri]

U r so smart ! Thanks for sharing!

[@barbaragemin5117]

Very interesting and useful, as my scale with people is not great. The multiple levels at the end got a bit complex but it makes sense anyway, as the people walking up an incline in the distance will seem higher up. Thanks Liron.

[@patti4891]

This was really helpful!

[@sjbrueck]

Thank you!

[@lynnebell5425]

Thanks Liron. This makes sense. Most perspective baffles me, but this didn’t. 😄

[@juliepekarske8302]

Wish you would have done on a beach scene.

[@LironYan]

Should probably do more beach scenes, I think I have perhaps 1 vid on it, and old one

[@juliepekarske8302]

A beach scene with lots of activity near and far along the beach would be so helpful. Thanks. If you have one, how would I find it?

[@LironYan]

@@juliepekarske8302 I believe it's this one (: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp6TY4WumKahfaM But I should do an update haha, I improved since 😅

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Excellent.....very very useful exercise. Please slow down in your teaching not everyone is fast learner.
