The tips in this video are priceless! I can’t thank you enough. I feel like I just did 3 years of art school in 20 minutes.

[@LironYan]

That makes me so happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@stacianastasio1499]

I went to art school. You literally taught perspective in 1 video that was one class, a semester long. Well done! Thank you for this contribution ❤️❤️❤️

[@manomoneysubramaniam254]

I am 72 n love art n never hold a brush or pencil n took lesson at senior centre n join an art classes After watching your video n learnt more n understand better then fr my teacher!! He is good but I can’t understand what he was talking about ! With your demo I learnt more n like to thank u for this n bless u to keep up your wonderful n safe ❤❤🎉

[@LironYan]

So happy this helped! 😁🙏🏼 Give it a try

[@watercolorhomie146]

Your are such a well rounded artist. Thank you so much. I was a little afraid of putting people in my landscapes because i didn't understand why it looked off... Makes sense now... Your are magnanimous my friend....

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very happy I could help. This takes a little practice, but once you start noticing the patterns - things like placing people becomes easier (at which point you have to actually work on drawing people accurately 😉 But you'll know how to place them).

[@Rudenbehr]

Your watercolor portraits look so ethereal. The lighting is so nicely rendered, it makes me want to be in the warmth of the portrait.

[@KathleenMesser34]

I just started painting, and I’m 44. I love it but perspective has been really challenging for me. This video is AMAZING. I’m learning so much from your channel. Thank you so much.

[@judithkohler8153]

Excellent video because you not only talk about the horizon and vanishing points you explained how they will relate to each other in establishing the right perspective.

[@artkat31]

I haven’t even finished watching the video and I know it is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you!

[@hunnnymoon]

ive been binging so many perspective videos and nothing was really making it click, but this made it so much simpler and easy to understand! thank you!

[@LironYan]

That makes me so happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@harshasurray7027]

Your teaching methods are so meticulous and absorbing that it makes the matter absolutely clear to anyone.

[@chayaspencer6205]

This was such a good video! My strong point is painting not drawing but I’m trying to work on my drawing, really enjoyed this, drew along with you and it made so much sense! Thanks Liron!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Happy you liked this one! Drawing skills really make a difference 😁

[@bryans5150]

Fantastic content! I started painting again after 30 years. Thanx much for the help and inspiration.

[@amandiux7]

WOWOWOWOW!!! I've been wanting to get into urban sketching and watching videos to understand perspective. This is the one that explains it so easily and visually!!! amazing!

[@LironYan]

Amazing 😁 I'm very happy to hear 😊🙏🏼

[@h_rika04]

6:57 THAT WAS THE MOMENT WHEN I UNDESTOOD IT Thank you! I suffered a lot with perspective but your video helped me

[@arnabhalder166]

Like an art superhero, he solved hundreds of doughts in a simple explanation! Such a great video.. thank you so much❤

[@LironYan]

Thank you for the kind words 😁🙏🏼🦸‍♂️

[@robertnickol9598]

I'd like a video on how to use the rules of perspective to paint landscapes, seascapes, rivers, mountains, and canyons. Your a very good teacher, but I'd like to vary the subject from urban areas to wilderness. Thank you so much.

[@oreed]

Oh my god this is so helpful. I was really struggling trying to sketch a cityscape scene and the relative sizes of the buildings, cars, and people, including how to position them relative to the horizon line so that the eye level looked correct. You were great at explaining these concepts!

[@nh5083]

Liron just found you and so glad I did! Loved this no nonsense tutorial on perspective. Your explanation and drawings were easy to understand. I've been self teaching myself for a while and I do believe I'll have better looking drawings/paintings after watching this. Much thanks from Las Vegas!

[@Luvmykidz03]

You really teach perspective in a way to understand it, thank you for creating this lesson for us.

[@LironYan]

Thank you ^_^ Happy I could help! 🙏

[@maureentanner8164]

Thank you, this was the most informative video I have seen on perspective drawing 😊

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear! 😊 Thank you so much for watching and commenting

[@Mitch.Wasserman]

Liron, this is such an informative tutorial. I had to reduce the speed to grasp everything you are saying, it moves so fast. This video has encouraged me to sign up for your drawing course. Thank you.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much Mitch! ☺️🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m sure it’ll all click for you!

[@sallieturner8771]

Very easy and well constructed for a complicated subject. Thank you for sharing, I learned so much

[@kathycoleman9260]

Thank you for this first video of yours I have watched. I am impressed by your knowledge and ease of explaining perspective! It is a hard thing for some of us 😜. I'm portrait artist switching to landscape/wildlife. I will continue to follow you. U are NOT a hack pretending he knows what he is talking about. U possess knowledge and I thank you for sharing with the likes of me. Thank you

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much Kathy!😊🙏🏼 Hoping to go back to filming more perspective drawing lessons soon

[@lynne7656]

This was amazing. You've really made perspective much easier for me. I've taken 2 drawing classes and I'm reading Ernest Norlings Perspective made easy So that background may have helped but this is the clearest best understanding of perspective I've had. Thanks so much.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words 😊🙏🏼 Very happy this was clear & helpful!

[@martimajor4766]

Like. Very grateful. You are a great teacher and a wonderful artist. Much appreciation.

[@khakikohii]

this is probably my favorite tutorial on perspective, you explained it so easily to a beginner like me!

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear, thank you for watching 😁🙏🏼

[@_earthvisitor333]

The best and easiest tutorial. Truthly thank you so much, i got lost at this but u gave me new perspectives. Very good explained

[@LironYan]

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

[@krisbarber6208]

This was amazing. I am trying right now to painting. Picture of my swimming pool and I’m having a very difficult time of it. I’m am going to try your 1 point perspective out. Can’t wait. I will watch and do this over and over agin. Thanks

[@1starvingsockpuppet]

thank you! This is a very straight forward mini lesson. Perfect!

[@jiraya350]

Such. Good. Content. From now on this is the first video I send to people asking about perspective.

[@bhingolacson510]

It was all great tips and techniques. Thank you. To enhance & increase our understanding further. May I suggest the use of transparent sheets marked with vanishing points on them. Then utilize them by putting on top of the pictures of your work. This will give us a better understanding. Thanks again and more power to you.

[@michasz4967]

In my opinion, person who is beginner, the video is serious helpful and I'm glad I've found this material. I hope you'll to make much more those materials 😁💪

[@faribaj.4619]

Thank you so much Liron! I am so happy to find you. Very helpful video.

[@dianecharest8365]

Again, great teaching. Thank you for showing us this.

[@indiesindie1984]

Wow! This is probably the most informative and enlightening video on perspective drawing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏 😊. This helps me tremendously!

[@lonnymcsherley773]

Very informative. Lots of questions answered and more auestions have emerged to be answered in the next video. Thanks

[@dlee1363]

This was exactly what I was hoping for. Very simple explanation thanks Liron

[@naturesketches126]

This video was sooooo good. I didn't realize how much I didn't know about perspective. You're the best teacher!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much ☺️☺️ Very happy I could help!

[@RatusMax]

Was digital painting so much stuff from life and pictures, when I went to make my own scene I couldn't do it...it was because of me lacking composition and perspective. This really helped.

[@sukhmann6758]

Such an easy to understand video with excellent examples..keep it up. I thank you

[@hemenkalita6582]

Thank you for explaining perspective. Only today I could grasp the technicals behind it.

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@nitahenderson4298]

Love the tips on perspective. Wonderful tutorials. I don't usually paint urban landscPes but I am trying to get some new skills in my head. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@LironYan]

My pleasure 😊🙏🏼 This is very useful to know in general. These concepts are the most obvious in urban scapes, but can help with natural landscapes as well!

[@roseannmoore136]

Those frames made more sense than anything I have seen. Thanks.

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear! 😊🙏🏼 Thank you

[@eileenjesionowski9164]

Where the parallel APPEAR to meet. This is a concept I have trouble with. Your sketches are very helpful to me. Thanks

[@Danman4u2]

Wow, this step by step eye level explanation is fantastic, thanks.

[@francisco.leocadio]

Very useful for me who is using this knowledge to draw storyboards for my movies! Thank you very much for all info you share!

[@josephinerovari1449]

Excellent video. I watched it three times and pulled out my sketchbook and started practicing these little frames. I can't do the cars though.

[@gerardbradshaw5644]

hi Liron just a quick text to say a very happy Christmas and a great new year and thanks for your tuitions 🥳

[@maca1947]

Thanks Liron, loved the video I found it very helpful.

[@annmatheson1712]

Really helpful and enjoyable tutorials Liron. Do you have any tips on how to manage off page vanishing points

[@lindathaxton1994]

Have let my vision for decisions & it’s been ok but want to learn more. Thank you for sharing 🙏👍✌️👌

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

A fabulous refresher for perspective. Thank you. Great simplifications of the rules.

[@LironYan]

Happy it helped 😊🙏🏼

[@TheTrinadonna]

Thank you so much Liron. This was super helpful!

[@Golfcentric]

[@scotttamburrino4827]

Amazing, thank you. I started sketching really cool pictures because of this video. Thank you thank you

[@rebatsu]

Finally somebody teaching perspective that I understand!! Thank you so much.

[@yolandapeghini2141]

Thanks for this…. Perspective has been my nemesis, I now understand.

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

Looking forward to a video of perspective and elevation. Since I live in an area that is not flat I will be looking for your next video.

[@LironYan]

Will try and do that in the near future, it’s always a challenge 😉✏️✏️

[@rachelm7525]

This is great, sizing objects and figures in a scene can be really tricky, I never heard that principle explained before. Thanks, Liron 🙂

[@LironYan]

Happy you found this one helpful! ^_^ Thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@kashivishwanath7603]

What an important lesson. Easy to understand. Thank you very much.

[@gbproductions9611]

Good job Liron. Excellent video, very informative. Perspective I think everybody struggles with. I know I do bigtime. Haha . Your lessons are enjoyable and very helpful to watch, Thanks keep them coming.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very happy to hear! More on the way 😉

[@genevievejimenez5310]

u draw so effortless but beautiful 🥺 ill strive my talent

[@jenny4994]

Wow this was really helpful, still got a lot to learn but this video was very simple but informative, love it!

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@Spacetangerine6]

I watched 3 other videos and I was still a little iffy on it but all this really cleared it all up, thank you.

[@eragarg2260]

Highly informative, I learned all about perspectives a watercolorist wants to know.

[@robinhere4230]

This concept seems important, but I need to do more examination of the subject. It is very clear when something is not drawn 'in perspective', so that may be a good place for me to build on. Thank you. And, BTW, your painting has really improved over the last year! I just joined you, this month, but I have seen some of your earlier KZbins.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Perspective takes time to take in - and mostly a lot of observation (actually taking the time to look at things carefully). And hopefully both my art and the KZbin channel have improved! It's hard for me to watch some of the old vids 😂

[@largaparker6370]

Thanks all the perspective video's are great! Learning so much.

[@chrissymac8204]

super tutorial, thank you! Understood this for the first time !

[@trisht5064]

Thank you so much liron. The main thing I've taken on board is what happens when you move the horizon line up and down and how to determine where to place people and how big 👍vanishing point yes but it always plays tricks on me 😂 but i think the answer is get my lines set up and stop guessing. I was doing perspective last night at my art group and this point became apparent so im going to keep practicing 😛 my reward after each practice will be to get my paints out 😂 i think i need rules so hopefully i will do better thanks again. I have purchased your perspective book so i must get my head in there 🙀

[@LironYan]

Haha thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Regarding vanishing points and all - the answer's always out there 😉 Get the angle of a few lines accurately, and then they will tell you where to place the vanishing point ✏️✏️ Happy this was helpful!

[@iz8633]

Your Art teachings Unbelievable, love it so much❣...I must learn a lot 🤔, but I definitely will try practice with different 😉 "points of views" on and on.. Thank You so much !👍😀

[@LironYan]

Thank you ☺️ You can do this! 💪✏️

[@RoiAngress]

Great explanation, thank you Liron!

[@timothybarker9020]

First time watching your videos they are great love your perspective teachings. I hoping to keep watching. I've be an artist for a long time and I have been going back to the basics you have really got me to rethink on composing drawings and paintings. Love your videos an approach to prespective.

[@shylacraig1858]

You're a great Teacher. Thank you, you are appreciated and so are your tutorials.

[@androandro7179]

This was great! Waiting for the follow up multi focal ones!Gonna refer to it many times till I become good at this tricky area of perspective! Can you do some other videos about basics like composition& light& shadow,please?

[@LironYan]

I definitely will! Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 I do have another video on composition (if you search my channel you’ll find it). But I’ll try doing an improved one soon!

[@TrishaFlaherty]

This has been the best explanation yet-I was beginning to feel like a moron bc I couldn’t comprehend the whole thing-Thank you for taking the time to make perspective comprehend able to the novice! 👏👏👏

[@LironYan]

Wow so happy to hear! Thank you Trisha 😁🙏🏼

[@cheriewi7874]

Thank you for adding another layer to my understanding . So to speak, the horizon line is like the narrative point of view? the eyes through which we are seeing the frame?

[@maureencepiel959]

This tutorial is so understandable. I can do this from photographs , but I cannot seem to use the "frame" in plein air drawing/painting. I still see the whole area. Have you done a video on perspectiive outdoors?

[@LironYan]

That's a great question! I tend to use my phone just for framing purposes. I'll hold up the camera and move it around til I find the best frame. I then refer to the picture only for composition purposes. It also helps seeing the values more accurately, but that's a bonus. I hope this helps 😊 As for perspective specifically, this livestream probably has my best explanation (but works with photos, not plein-air / outside: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6Tcq2N6oK-tfas Hope this helps 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@maureencepiel959]

@@LironYan Thank you Liron. Your explanation tells me that in order to paint plein air without a photo (for framing), I need to focus on a single subject. Then I could add that subject into the 'framed' landscape. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! I wish you continued love and inspiration for painting.

[@Mr.Bill-cnd]

Really good lesson. Thanks so much 😊

[@LironYan]

Thank you for watching 🙏🏼☺️

[@markersandacrylics5898]

Thank you so much for this video!! It was the best explanation I have ever seen. Now I understand it so much more

[@doardana3288]

Great drawing course, thank you for sharing!

[@nirabenhamou6829]

I learned so much from this video! Thank you so much. You are such a great instructor!!!

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@lgreen2477]

Really awesome explanation thank you for sharing!!

[@suzalasuzala1135]

Great lesson! Great tip to add: if you are unsure where your horizon is, hold your pencil parallel to the ground about 10" in front of your eyes. Whatever the pencil is covering is your horizon line. Question: like your last shown painting, I recently finished a painting where I made the figure on the street too big. I understand perspective. And use it to support drawing what I see, but people height is something I struggle with. Once I get one down I'm fine, but the 1st one is always very tricky for me. Even in scenes like Castagnet does I always wonder how he gets those little blobs the right height!!. Can you address this?

[@LironYan]

Wow - thank you for sharing that awesome advice! Have never thought about it this way, will try it out next time I’m doing plein-air 😊🙏🏼 Regarding your question - I usually try to find other objects to which I can compare a person’s height. Luckily for me, I have a lot of cars in my urban scenes, and I can use those. A person will generally be 2-3 heads taller than a normal car, standing up. The trick is to find something that’s the same distance from you as the distance of the person you want to put in. Then compare and place them in. Hope that helps 😊😊

[@derekcooney747]

What materials do you use for your paintings? Brushes, paint, pencils, paper, tape etc?

[@barbaraverser1056]

Liron, love this. I'm curious to know if you teach 2+ perspective in your online course? Perspective is something I struggle with.
