I spent one day learning to draw boxes in perspective, and then i warped them in wierd forms! i couldnt sleep at night because all i thought of was boxes and shapes.. But because of this i can now probably draw hands ,feet etc better because i understand the forms! I highly recommend anyone who wanna learn to start with this! Its not hard and its pretty fun once you get the hang of it and it will help your drawings ALOT

[@katsuki420]

Can u suggest from where I can practice that? Drawing from imagination is kinda hard rn-

[@Tac-0]

@@katsuki420 Marc Brunet on youtube had a good video about that!

[@AMR-dg3wx]

​@@Tac-0what video

[@insperrr.a]

​@@AMR-dg3wxI'm not sure but I'd used 3d models and rotate them while copying

[@jenmdawg]

I love this comment. It's been a long time since I was absorbed in anything outside of work and responsibilities but at 55, after losing my life partner and falling into deep grief, I am teaching myself how to draw (love YT for stuff like this) and... I am getting better SLOWLY (my boxes almost look like boxes after a month, lol) but also enjoying the learning. I also envied/admired the artists in my life and now I understand it JUST takes commitment. Most of you will be much younger than me so let me be that crazy aunt and tell you to pursue your actual interests with all your heart. You will never regret doing life that way.

[@cfoxx]

Finally a video that explains perspective without grid but instead in terms of intuition. I enjoyed this method a lot.

[@LironYan]

Very happy it was helpful! Thank you 🙏😊 I find intuition tends to beat everything else in the long run (:

[@janetbailey8966]

Yes!! More please!!! I don't mind the videos being long!! You are a great teacher! Thank you!!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much Janet! 😊🙏🏼 Will do more of these soon!

[@tanbravean]

This is hands down the best video at explaining this! You made it so easy to understand! The way you guide us through the construction is so unique. I am sharing this video as much as possible! Thank you so much!

[@LironYan]

Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words 😁🙏🏼 I really appreciate it!

[@persona4539]

this soo true bro holy fk

[@haiyihuang3299]

看了一堆讲解透视的视频我还是不懂怎么自己画，你的是最清楚明白简单易懂的，而且我终于会画了，谢谢你！超人😭😭😭👍👍👍！！！

[@madisonrhall]

23:05 woah. Yep. That's where all this is going.

[@ochicco]

I am Brazilian. And even though I understand a little English, I perfectly understand your explanation and example. Thank you, now I'm really starting to understand 3D shapes in perspective better.

[@LironYan]

Awesome! So happy to hear it's clear & helpful 🙏😊 Thank you for watching!

[@tammysunderman4734]

Please more. You're a wonderful teacher!! Wow, you explain great!1

[@LironYan]

Thank you Tammy! Will do more of these 😁🙏🏼

[@dawnlee6536]

Yes very interested ..pls have more of these. These basic drawings are so important and really appreciate it. TQ so so much can't wait to learn more.

[@ANTONIUSBLCK]

As a beginner practicing 3 dimensional shapes, I really needed this; thanks!

[@judyfranklin9577]

Your videos are always so informative and really helpful , Thank you Liron for being so generous with your tuition , you explain everything so clearly , I am always learning something new from you.

[@yafalamm581]

Liron, What a fantastic video. I learned so much! Thank you for putting it out!

[@alysonfordperez7820]

I really appreciate how you took a basic cylinder and applied it to drawing a leg. Thank you!

[@amexjam55]

Hi, Liron. This is the first tutorial I've come across on drawing shapes in 3d perspective. You explained and demonstrated this so clearly. I would definitely like to see more videos on shapes in perspective. Thanks!

[@alinarenea9389]

You are a wonderful teacher. This video was easy to understand and very informative. Thank you!

[@yashasvioswal1329]

This was so much fun as well as informative!!

[@ancamuresan7761]

I was struggling with boxes for a drawing course I am doing and I’ve watched at least 30 videos on this topic for the last few days. Yours, as others have already said, is hands down the best. I finally get it. You explained it so well! I rarely live comments on youtube, but fet the need to express my gratitude. Thank you! Greetings from Romania

[@danielmcgowan4970]

Hi Liron, It is one of those 'Thanks for reminding me. A great artist and friend, sadly no longer with us, was always doing this wherever he was i.e. Restaurants, pubs with notebooks, napkins and once on a tablecloth which he paid for and took away with him after the meal. Certainly, something I do not do enough of, even though it is wonderful practice for any artist and especially for a beginner, so great video Liron. You deserve your success.

[@SimpleDood_]

Thank you for this video dude! I just started drawing and I couldn't find a good video about rotating 3d objects in perspective, every video assumes that i'm a professional artist and understand deep geometry, elipses etc and just skips to super technical stuff! Your video made me undestand and 'see' construction of objects in perspective and the perspective itself muuuch better as a begginer.

[@sallywright5503]

I am very interested in more of this. I go back and forth between drawing and watercolor. I struggle with perspective and I found this very helpful. I understand the concept when I watch it being done,,, but somehow my hand and mind get confused. I think I just need to practice, practice, practice the basic shapes until it becomes ingrained. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I’m going to look into your books too.

[@DerMofinator]

I just started learning how to draw and I've seen a lot of videos and art teachers. Even though I already practiced 3D shapes by eyeballing perspective, your video caught my intention. I'm so happy I clicked on it, because you are a phenomenal teacher. Your pace is great and you explain perspective a very simple and relatable way. Just by consistently reminding that lines further away need to be shorter and comparing the angles again and again, I feel like you made perspective finally click for me. I subbed to your channel, because I think your style of teaching resonates really really well with me :) Thank you!

[@miguelcorona9820]

You are amazing how you can see these shapes from imagination is so cool to me

[@smoking013]

Easily the best video on the subject I've watched ever , great job !

[@cridbaby]

Thank you so much. I’ve been struggling with doing cubes and this explanation showed me where I’ve been going wrong.

[@bellap2570]

First time I understand perspective and shadows! Your explaination are very acurate and well teached! 👍🙏🏻👍

[@KiowaRuiz]

Very helpful. Using the pencil length to demo length was great trick

[@xJason72x]

great vid, i've been digging into perspective and this is a great start

[@krisbarber6208]

I am just now finding you on KZbin since watching you on Angela Fehr’s Guest Show. Thank you so much for this lesson. I will watch it over and over. I really like the way you teach.

[@fay8158]

please make more of these this was sooooo useful

[@susanlynn9285]

I bought your “How to Sketch” book, since I have never taken a drawing coarse. I love all 359 pages, it is really a fun book

[@MH24680]

Great explanations ! Thank you for your time and effort. Will try to apply for drawing 3D amorphic shapes...

[@shanicejoseph170]

You're a really good teacher. I've watched a couple vids and yours is the first that helped me truly understand to where I feel confident moving forward

[@FatihTurkerFatih]

Wow this is the best ,love how you explain slowly .

[@asmaabia5647]

i was really struggling about perspective but this video helped me a lot it's the best video about perspective i came across thank you so much

[@Ha-wk8ms]

Thank you so much for this! You're a life saver 💕

[@nancypeplau9747]

This is so helpful to me Liron. Thank you

[@tazeenmohsin]

I attended an arts class and my teacher gave up on trying to teach me perspective. This was one of the best explanations I have heard. Made it easier

[@carolatchley229]

This was very informative. I would like to see more about drawing ovals. When I'm drawing a flower pot, or a bowl, I have a difficult time making the top look real. I understand more how to fix this based on today's video, but I would like even more instruction. It was also enlightening to see how much you practice. For some reason, I think professional artists like you don't need to practice anymore, so this was good to know.

[@oscarcavalcanti134]

Thanks for this class! Waiting for more explanation on this matter! Just subscribed as well

[@Life_of_TUSH]

Perspective has always been challenging. And this helped sooooo much!!!!! Thank you!

[@sonyaa4480]

I have been scrambling my brain since days or probably years and have always somewhere been scared and somewhat frustrated to touch upon details of the 3D Objects. Searched for hell many videos who will me with perspective of closer and far object but none satisfied me. Finally I have found this! So I'm taking this moment to really appreciate your efforts. Thanks a ton! Keep on making more of such videos.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much! 😁🙏🏼 That’s so awesome to hear, much much appreciated!

[@ilgabo01]

Thanks, is very difficult to me understand some objects in the space. But i'll keeping view your video in loop and draw in my sketchbook.

[@SergeyFominVL]

Great explanation!

[@genevievejeanne8914]

Yes very interested ... thanks .

[@Yeloman7]

If you wanna learn, I just draw squares and maybe more shapes in different perspectives, and if you animate you can try animate a cube spinning, its helped me a lot with drawing shapes in perspective so far

[@kanzleribrahim6596]

Thank youuu

[@Heromus16]

Finally someone that makes sense! I watched other vid about rotating and the was so much mathmatics it scrambled my brain and confused me. But you gave me something to work on. thank you so much dude. :D 🔥

Haha so happy to hear Kiwi! Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼

[@yukchuilau3604]

[@ericagarcia5004]

Of allllllll the videos I've watched, THIS was the one that FINALLY made me understand what everyone else trying to teach perspective couldn't. Thank you, Sir. You are officially my KZbin hero.😊

[@LironYan]

Amazing!! Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very happy to hear

[@chana5302]

For 6 years I never knew how to draw a square. Thank you so much!!!

[@BlondeBeard18]

At the 20:00 mark we can clearly see that BC is longer than AD. Which is true when reckoning dates as well. It’s also funny that it’s at the 20:00 minute mark since we are living in what is relatively 2000 AD. 😂

[@xdxd8447]

So much sense.

[@iluxakarpenko]

Thank you bro, ure genius

[@iqbalpreetpadam7521]

Thanks sir for lesson

[@marieanderson6311]

When I was a kid I used to do this. My father was a carpenter and artist and would show me how to see (SEE) things. I would get in trouble for drawing in margins on my school work. Ha ha! But it was never broken down for me like this. Now I understand why I see as I do!

[@AnTran-ro7kh]

thank you so much, this video helped me a lot!!! I finally understand how to do the right box!

[@LironYan]

Amazing! Thank you for the kind words 😁🙏🏼
