Dearest Stephen, I would like to express my infinite gratitude for sharing your craft with the world. Not only are you a remarkable artist, you are also a wonderful teacher of your art. Since I discovered your videos, I have been drawing alongside you with more courage and confidence than before. I have only hit the tip of the iceberg discovering your chanel just a week ago and I am so excited to continue my art journey with you. Thank you for existing. Your presence in this word is precisely what we need. You bring much love and joy to this world with you gift. My hope is that you continue and I wish you infinite health, love, joy, prosperity and success. 🙏😊💕🥰
Jasmina, I cannot imagine a more generous comment thanking me for my videos. I am so very encouraged by your kind words and appreciation. You make me very glad I have made them. All the best with your drawings, and if you have any friends who draw you could tell them about my channel, that would be helpful for me. 😀
That’s great. Usually I just do it by eye, but occasionally that is more difficult to do and it’s great to have this sort of tip as back up for those times. 😀
Is there a way to ensure each window is 100% properly spaced as it goes towards the horizon line beyond just "doing my best"? I know how to do this with repeating windows that are next to eachother, but not with gaps inbetween. (x over center of first window, draw line from X center to horizon line, cross top corner of first window through center line that intersects with outer wall of first window, draw new vertical line for next window) How would I do this for gaps? Thanks in advance.
I’m sure there is a complex formula which could explain the degree of foreshortening exactly, but it would be too complicated for me to understand. I draw the spaces between the windows as much as I draw the windows. Careful observation is the way to an accurate drawing of foreshortening. And I pay careful attention to the mid point in both the reference and my drawing. And when I don’t get it right, I carefully work out exactly what I should have done, so I am better prepared for next time. 😀Keep having a go, it will get easier. 😀
Hi, Stephen, I watched this one , it’s marvellous! Just one question. When you draw that building , did you draw the diagram which you showed us to narrow the windows first ? I guess you did not ,as you have already had that diagram in your mind . Am I right ? I hope I am wrong .😀
I’m afraid I don’t understand what you are asking me. But I drew the street scene I show days before I drew anything else in the video. Does this answer your question?😀
@@stephentraversart I mean that diagram on the paper, did you draw it when you draw the building? In other words, the diagram is the first step of this drawing . Sorry for such trouble.
No, I drew the diagram after the drawing. But, of course, I already understood the principle when I drew the drawing. I just did the diagram to make it clearer in the video 😀
This is not really within my experience I’m afraid, and I think the best presentations of it would be in digital form, which is definitely not my area. Hope you find it somewhere. 😀

Brilliant. Thank you, Stephen :)
My pleasure!
Thank you for your explanation! I always struggled with windows, but not anymore
Thanks. I can’t ask for a better result than this!😀
that "diagonal to find the mid point" is pretty useful.
Thanks
That’s great. Usually I just do it by eye, but occasionally that is more difficult to do and it’s great to have this sort of tip as back up for those times. 😀
This is excellent, I don't suppose you could explain this as well for foreshortening animals?
Great this really helped, thankyou
Thank you for a clear explanation.
Glad it was helpful!😀

Can u please do rotation of hexaedron tutorial? Nice video

Lots of great points (not a pun lol)
Haha. Thank you Greg. 😀
