🖌️This is a tips and tricks video all about drawing in perspective - making perspective easy for sketchers like me.
In this video we will cover a few key rules and concepts, looking at the fundamentals of perspective which will mean you can go out there start sketching and drawing today.
We will look at those key concept in perspective - the horizon line, vanishing points, and how we can incorporate them to make an effective sketch!

I took an entire class on perspective that lasted 6 weeks and you nailed it much fast and much simpler. Thank you. It is always good to go back to basics especially when sketching buildings in a scene.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Great to hear!

[@themole2024]

Great way to summarize for the beginner like me. Verticals are Vertical and Horizon lines extend from the vanishing point. And Horizon line is at eye level.

[@TobySketchLoose]

You're very welcome!

[@donaldkennedy7993]

superb - fastest, simplest, easiest explanation/demo of perspective.... other KZbinrs take Hours to say what you said in 5mins ;)

[@TobySketchLoose]

Wow, thanks!

[@CarolinaCanada]

Extremely useful - I greatly enjoy when you r videos review the basics of sketching. There are always many beginners out there who benefit from your very clear lessons. Thank you!

[@TobySketchLoose]

You're very welcome!

[@delphinewood7519]

So well explained. And helpful! Thanks.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Very easy to follow and effective perspective tutorial, going to share this to some friends. Thanks for another excellent video mate!

[@TobySketchLoose]

Aww thanks for sharing!

Yessir, thanks 😎

[@TobySketchLoose]

Always!!

[@Rich-cq4gz]

Great channel Toby, thank you for your hard work in bringing this…..top work!

[@TobySketchLoose]

My pleasure!

[@vickyking3408]

thank you for making it very simple and clear

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad it was helpful!

[@franciscocalvo1980]

Thanks. Another tip: If you want to subdivide a rectangle wall into two equal parts, just draw the diagonals and the intersection point is where you must draw the vertical line just in the middle of the wall. You can repeat the process as many times you need to subdivide.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Thanks for sharing

[@elizabethjupp8641]

Excellent, thank you Toby

[@TobySketchLoose]

No worries!

[@kristinstewart5556]

Excellent addition to my current knowledge on perspective. Question: If I am sitting down urban sketching my personal perspective will be lower on the whole scene than if I was at eye level with the people moving through the scene. It seems obvious but I haven’t really thought about that. I often try to find the place I am not looking up at or down on. An even plane to my view to find my locational horizon line. It’s that putting too fine a point on it?

[@sharonrussell7933]

Thanks Toby

[@TobySketchLoose]

No problem 😁

[@soniabrown3067]

Perspective is the hardest for me to understand. If all vertical lines stay vertical, how do you decide the angle of slanted (end of) the roof?

[@TobySketchLoose]

So the slanted roof isn't a vertical line - it's already angled. And yes, working out the perspective of it gets very complicated as a result. The easiest thing is to use your pen to work out the angle - inside you can lay your pen on that roof edge, then take your pen from the image to your paper keeping it in the same position - thus you have your angle. Outside, you can hold your pen out infront of you until it covers the line in question of the roof - then bring it down to your page at the same angle. Normally, I just do it by eye and hope for the best ;)

[@soniabrown3067]

@@TobySketchLoose thank you. I’ll keep practicing. 😊

[@777elements]

Wow that's cool.. thank you. What would be the perspective line if we are making a live Sketch by sitting on a slope?

[@TobySketchLoose]

Depends on your viewpoint!

[@elizabethg8457]

Hi Toby, I am finding your tutorials very helpful, straightforward, and easy to follow. It is it possible to put all you lessons into a book? I had thought for a minute you had something, but it was that other guy...lol.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Great suggestion! I'm workin slowly towards this idea with my new courses - hoping I build up the written contents of those courses until I've got a books worth of material 😁

[@PainterFleites]

i want this pen that you are using!!!

[@TobySketchLoose]

hehe - LAMY Al-star fine nib - enjoy :)

[@davidwang3222]

thanks ! could you tell us how to apply this rules when we draw a real building ? do we first draw a horizontal line in the middle of the paper ? then follow your steps ?

[@TobySketchLoose]

Yes you can! In practice the horizon line and other structural lines can be useful when you're learning perspective or Sketching from imagination. After not long you will just naturally understand the processes, and you won't need to draw the lines at all just construct them in your imagination 😁

[@lesliel1182]

All well and good when the vanishing points fall on the page, but when they don't then what?

[@TobySketchLoose]

Then you use the same process, it's just slightly harder

[@johnstark5275]

its hard to find drawing lessons in person

[@TobySketchLoose]

Yes it is

[@johnstark5275]

I realllly appreciate the videos though!

[@TobySketchLoose]

Thanks John :) @@johnstark5275
