Perspective Drawing - Teach Yourself to Draw

In this episode of "Teach Yourself to Draw", we will talk about perspective. This episode is a little bit different from what I usually cover on this channel, but it would be a shame to draw great pictures with inaccurate perspective. The fundamental principles of perspective are always important to know. This is what I'll cover in this video. Hope it helps !

About me (bio) :
I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation. I do mostly drawing and oil painting, and my goal is always to provide techniques and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.

[@artandfiction4534]

Speaking of perspective, today I am painting a very tiny woman using a mushroom as an umbrella. It's been so long since I've drawn at an eagle's perspective, that when I tried to add rain, I got dizzy from the illusion I made. I guess I'm doing well.

[@Sole-Survivor]

LIKED/SHARED

[@sarmibhatt5121]

Thank you...

[@Redskirt]

This is very handy, especially for an artist who never took this class in college. I found some pretty big mistakes in my current drawing. 😄 I'm curious...how would you add "life" to such a technically perfect drawing?

[@lagurichardluke8515]

Thanks a lot

[@logbook-earth2023]

Thanks

[@dougg1075]

Cool

[@skillpalette2025]

[@essejd]

[@InLawsAttic]

Very nice! Were you drawing flat on table or vertical on easel? Thank you so much.

[@sandroalex366]

Parabéns

[@dollygupta8048]

Keep up the good work. ♥️

[@treborsirrah7916]

You need a grid above the horizon line,for that drawing

[@CupCaked]

Ugh. My eyes always glaze over when anybody talks about perspective 😆

[@wakabaloola]

is that a perspective grid of square cells or rectangles?

[@evelinaottomanska1566]

good

[@stazriffel]

🖼 👍 well explained! definitely a necessary skill, you'll always have some objects in the painting that need to be placed the right way in space 💪🧑‍🎨🖼

[@noam6249]

It’s very difficult trying to see beyond your head and shadow of your head. Different lighting perhaps? I’m a beginner and need to see this completely. Thanks.

[@koskey06]

Thanks for the easy to see and understand video! What kind of paper u using tho? I'm trying to fine a good tone paper that dont cost a arm an a leg.....I mean I'm just starting out my art journey

[@yuii7158]

I recommend getting a sketch book! Most sketch books are under $30 and they usually have good quality paper. And good luck on your journey!

[@sensualgoat3718]

So the horizontal horizon vanishing point is an optical effect due to perspective? So NOT Earth curve as claimed by the heliocentric model via earth curve calculators. Ok...Got it...Thanks :D

[@easysueburs8750]

💯 ❤ no sunsetting behind curvature. Just a vanishing point in perspective.

[@littlechoice]

How do we know that the ones on the floor correspond to squares? In the video you intersected all the lines going to the vanishing point with one line that had a certain angle with the horizontal line, but was that angle special? How do I know that I'm not drawing rectangles on that floor?

[@UNcommonSenseAUS]

Mind if u use part of your video to explain horizon & eye level / line ? Thanks in advance & I will attribute you of course & link your channel & also this video.

[@sanikachavan6360]

Me being an Indian student preparing for my nata exam just thinking: but I can't use a scale. I can't use a scale to draw any of this for my exam!

[@delphykaur7643]

Need more knowledge how I get your full lessons on the same topic

[@AfromemeGod.]

Why brown paper tho?

[@mohamadparadox2453]

am i supposed to write this down or draw the technique

[@servantofourlordjesuschris6456]

I can barely draw a curve from visual memory.

[@sarmibhatt5121]

One point perspective .

[@Cloxxyy]

I am more interested in the pencil then the art 😳

[@kanchanb2448]

This is art or architecture?

[@elowynnbird]

id break that pencil so easily

[@icarusfalls6899]

Logan Paul is that's you?

[@1BlctExSalt]

.

[@atirblum]

Unfortunately not basic enough for me.. you just draw things without first telling us what you plan to draw. " Now I want to draw a building on the left side. It should be facing to the street ... " And then let us follow your choises and decitions aloud. " I want it to look tall, so this it a good place to draw a line.."

[@christinakylecasteel2429]

Much too complicated for beginners.

[@theritaradar]

Your head is in the way some of the time.

[@polarissse]

Love it

[@Klixe69]

Thank you
