Perspective Drawing for Beginners

My Digital Art for Beginners Course: bradsartschool.com
Check out my Courses: brad.site/learn/
Drawing in perspective is pretty easy to pick up and an essential skill that we will be building on in future lessons. It helps with drawing backgrounds. it helps with drawing characters and objects in a scene. Today we're going to make it easy with some lessons and tutorials.

[@NAMINE0306]

Finally!!! All other art videos ive seen only say “you need perspective” “perspective is one the most important” but never tell you what perspective is or how you use it

[@BarKeegan]

A lot of artists can freehand convincing perspective without a grid, but not often willing to demonstrate how they achieve it

[@priyadarshanjadhav5633]

Yeah

[@nslhnzcn]

absolutely

Funny enough this is basic stuff, usualyl ppl learn it at school around 5-7th Grade. Now the probleam is how many ppl actaully want to learn this at that age... lol But yeah glad he made it, surprisingly enough there are many ppl who alredy finish school and are in to the Univercity and still don't know how to use this. So this helps immensely.

@@labulabi6854 Been a while I've seen a grammatic nazy playing down foreigners for their own amusement. but hey if you have time to waste in pointless comments I guess art isn't your passion... But hey dont be sad, pherhaps you should rethink your career and gear it towards becoming a english teacher since thats probably the only language you can speak at all, at least you should be able to put that one single knowledge to good use and help others instead.

Quick note: One point, two point and three point perspective don't actually have only one, two and three vanishing points. When you rotate the planes you need to start adding more vanishings points, for example if you have hills or boxes at different angles. The one/two/three actually tells you the number of axis which get projected. 1pp has 2 straights axes, 2pp has 1, 3pp has none.

[@crossed7971]

My brain- 😭😭 just when I thought I sort of understood aksjsks

[@bluefox5331]

@@crossed7971 It just means that you can have more vanishing points depending on which way your box is rotated in the picture you're drawing. For example with one point perspective, If you were to draw streets they would *all* be parrarel to each other. What if you want a road that crosses the other ones?? Well then you add another vanishing point, just for that one road that crosses the others. Still one point perspective. It's important to remember that the vanishing points help us convey 3D space onto a 2D paper, they are *not* real things that exist. Just how we see them in perspective. One point perspective: the lines of the box facing away get projected Two point: all horizontal lines of the box get projected in perspective three point: all sides get projected, now you can look look more up towards the sky or more down towards the ground too. in other words, now the vertical line gets projected too.

For someone who wants to take prep for architecture in college, lemme tell you, drawing without a ruler is freaking hard, I can't get enough practice no matter how much I do. Edit: wow... I forgot about this comment. So, I couldn't make it to architecture. I tried, but due to some unavoidable reason, I couldn't partake in the exam. I'm currently studying medicine, which I'm not loving. Peace out✌️

[@endianprime]

I'm 36, if your just starting something, you start at the beginner level, you ignore your stupid ego that doesn't know what's best for you and you learn it in the method that has been determined as the best way to learn, always making sure to look for alternative methods and viewpoints, you're not getting any younger I'm afraid.

Trust me, you'll get over it as you get older because you'll do it so many times.
