My Dad was a draughtsman in the days before computers when everything was hand drawn. He taught me perspective. When I was about 8 he took me to his work for a week during the school holidays. He gave me my own little drawing desk and had me draw boxes in perspective. At the time I thought I thought I was being gainfully employed drawing these boxes for the company. Dad even arranged the pay office to give me my own pay envelope at the end of the week. Sorry, I know this has nothing to do with the video, but the video did evoke these memories. I have never forgotten my little perspective lesson.
Brought the concept of 2 point perspective to life for me. Being able to gradually change the “elastic” sides showed clearly how the perspective relationships changed. A valuable lesson. Thank you.
Just the other day Korean artist Kim Jun Ji explained in a live stream two point perspective but as he did it without perspective lines it was harder to understand, this method is unusual but it easier to understand what’s going on 👍
Great way to visualize perfect perspective. Finally I think I'm beginning to understand. Thank you Piotr for doing this demonstration. Greetings from copenhagen
And where should you set the two vanishing point ? And what if one or both lie out of the board ? And how will you manage in situ ? And how will you draw a circle, like the rim of a glass ?
I have got to devise my table with this method. I need to explore the variables. Like how do you decide the length of the dowel (I suppose by taking the corner of an imagined building and seeing how "tall" you want it to be) And how wide do you place the vanishing points... Me, I am sitting on a park bench at the lake land I am trying to draw the triangle of grass facing me like a wide V in the middle of my picture, with 3 willow trees on it. Along each side is a sidewalk, each going off to some vanishing point somewhere along the horizon- the lake. - one with the man coming toward me from the left and the other sidewalk, his young son doing a dance in the bright sunlight coming toward me from the right.. I have worked it out "by eye" pretty well but cannot seem to locate the man - how tall, how close, how do I make him at all relative to the trees, etc. I know this is a long way of describing what I need but maybe I can sort through it by doing it myself on my own desk. Why would I present my case in such detail? So that I might find someone who imagines my situation and offers me some answers to where to place the vanishing points and how tall are the figures the closer they are? I'm starting to imagine...and for THAT I give great credit to the man who is showing me how-to in this video. Is your name Piotr? Anyway, I thank you for enlivening my own imagination.
Oh, where are you? You are GREAT! Wow!!! Do the best ones leave? Did you find something better to do with your creativity? It would be great if you would make some more videos!!!
I’m 10 years late to this video but I found it very helpful. I’m studying architecture and was trying to find a quicker way to get some preliminary sketches done of some house designs and this is great.
Just a question. I wonder how to use this when drawing a 'stack' of cubes, in which each cube is turned (clock or anti clockwise) at it's base. So the priniple line of the 'next' corner of the cube, one level up, is slightly turned. (let's assume 5 degrees)?
Question; how does one utilize those items on an iPad screen? I’ve destroyed 2 screens already trying to get those damn push pins ton stay. Ultimately I needed to use the electrical tape to hold them. Seriously though great video demonstration on how to draw an oblique viewpoint. One of the things that was most difficult for me to do was transpose an overhead set of plans to a 1 or 2 point perspective. They always came out looking extremely off. 😂 Good thing that was High school drafting class & wasn’t hired to design someone’s home.

bumblebill1 horizon line is the point which perfectly lines up eith your sight(for example if a cubes top line is at exactly sits on yout horizont line it eill be completely straight(the top line) u wont see under the cubes top layes neither above it) u decide it simply by drawing a sraight line on paper, if u have a reference image and u want to locate the horizont point u should look for key lines where the outlines of shapes(by shapes i mean buildings furniture, anything on the picture) are going, if u draw pretty long iverextended lines from those building vorners in the right direction(at least 2-3) then u can determine the vanishing point, the vanishing point is where the drawn lines will connect. I hope this helps sorry if its confusing, explaining drawing only with written text is a bit hard, search for other videos to and ull have a better understanding of these fundamentals.
This is very clever. I've never seen anything like this. This is a great way to show beginners the theory of perspective rendering. However... Just not practical for actual use, and should not be used on your drawing. I started out on the board. Computers were a couple years away. But once you knew the basics, like this demonstration, it was all pencil & straight edge. But still... great visualization tool for the uninitiated.
With the approach shown in the video, how can we draw a perfect cube with all edges the same lenght? The left and right side was drawn freehand in this video. Is there an approach to determine the distance for the e.g. left side once the right side and its distance to the center is given?
Why you don't try your self suing this method, best method,is, (experiments) you might be able to find the answer to your question,and maybe you'll discover mor answers for author questions. Enjoy the experience during the doing.
If this is only for understanding perspective ok, I guess many would found it helpful, this makes it easier to visualize. But no real point of using it in everyday drawing.
Yes, but a little cumbersome to use unless you park one ruler up and one ruler down so they don't cross each other. The idea is to have a constant vanishing piont established to assist in drawing parallel lines that are seen in perspactive. The vertical lines should be controlled by using a horizontal guide to set a ddrafting triangle on.
love this visualization of a Cube,......makes you look deeper into your own process. As a drawing tool/help no so........but love the idea visualization. Thnxs for the share friend.
All this messing with elastic strings only confuses and complicates a pretty basic process of marking the vanishing points and connecting the vertical line with any straight edge that is long enough to reach those vanishing points. Why re create the wheel with a worse, more complicated wheel?
This is a really great tip and something I may use. Only thing that concerns me though is the placement of the VP's. Since they are closer to the picture, wouldn't this distort your objects more? Unless this is what ur going for. I'm just wondering about ur thoughts on that. Great tip. Thanks again. :)

That's real perspective remembering Dad.
That's awesome, dads sound cool
Time spent with dad lives forever... Good or Bad ... Glad it was Good.

This is the simplest explanation of 2 pt. perspective I have ever come across. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with me.
Actually, it explains nothing.
Great way to visualize perfect perspective. Finally I think I'm beginning to understand.

I wasn’t sure clicking but this was s a very cool way to learn 2PS. I’m a comic artist so this is very informative
Indeed very unique! Never seen anyone explain like this 🙏🏼Thanks for posting this very helpful
Where do you get the elastic? I am trying to draw on a large 36" x 24" stretched canvas for a painting of the Brooklyn Bridge.
I am also wondering where to get the graphite covered elastic. thanks
Oh, where are you? You are GREAT! Wow!!! Do the best ones leave? Did you find something better to do with your creativity? It would be great if you would make some more videos!!!
This is brilliant, a hands on and physical way to understand perspective.
Pretty amazing. I love it. This looks like a method humans might have used in the distant past to solve engineering problems, simple but effective.

I've always struggled with drawing perspectives, but this has helped me a lot. Thank you very much for sharing with us.
I’m 10 years late to this video but I found it very helpful. I’m studying architecture and was trying to find a quicker way to get some preliminary sketches done of some house designs and this is great.
A great concept artist once reminded me of the importance of broken lines, convergence, and implied lines in perspective work.
I think your method is brilliant for teaching beginners the principle of perspective, I'm well impressed!! Respect from the UK!!
100% agreed with you, it's an easy way to teach the principle of perspective for beginners.
Just a question.

I’m a very visual learner. Thank you for the lesson.
You have a very interesting method of demonstrating perspective!
Very realistically and beautifully presented !
It’s so strange… and I really like it! Thank you so much for showing this, it will help me.
Really nice method. thanks for sharing
👍 wonderfully idea 💡 and funny too 😀
I recently heard about this thing called two-point perspective but your ingenius method made me more familiar with it than I could ever be

I learned this in 1975 and it's still useful. I like the old ways.

Very cool instuctional technique...less lines and erasures need. Just ordered elastic cord to add to my drawing supplies.
Wow I like this, you made it easy to understand and show people how they see things and why they see what they, thanks
Wow! Your explanation is great! Thank you thank you!
THANK YOU! Very clear, easy to understand.

This is a great way to do this. Save time in drawing the lines. Thanks so much.
What is horizon line? What are vanishing points? How does one decide where the vp should be? What is one point perspective?
bumblebill1 horizon line is the point which perfectly lines up eith your sight(for example if a cubes top line is at exactly sits on yout horizont line it eill be completely straight(the top line) u wont see under the cubes top layes neither above it) u decide it simply by drawing a sraight line on paper, if u have a reference image and u want to locate the horizont point u should look for key lines where the outlines of shapes(by shapes i mean buildings furniture, anything on the picture) are going, if u draw pretty long iverextended lines from those building vorners in the right direction(at least 2-3) then u can determine the vanishing point, the vanishing point is where the drawn lines will connect.

Please tell me if we must put the red coins on horizon line always. ?
Thank you amazing method to help us learning.
Very interesting.Thank you Master.
Amazing your videos ❤️ 💕
That is way helpful, thank you!
Incredible.........looking foward to trying out your technique.......
Thank you for this very interesting manner of creating vantage point in perspective. And by the way, you have very attractive hands.
This is very clever. I've never seen anything like this.

Very educational, thanks for the video.
I would like to learn how to draw benches in different areas of a park.
How did you adhere the string to the dowel
Easy method indeed, thank you. I wonder whether there’d be another way not to pierce the board every time we draw😉
You dont really need the second string when you drop verticals of the box
what about the two square that you used in the first year of secondary school!
Like because you try to think another way, to show us that "knowhow"! Keep on going!
You are so good at teaching, thanks 🙏
This is so smart, ynderstandable
Instead of pins use another string at the top of the cube with a hook to hold in place
To me this method seems like doing things the difficult way, when there's no real need to.
But that might just be me.
@Keybiardje This is exactly my feeling ! Worse, it will prevent to improve. Why not using a CAO program ?
This is for beginners albeit there’s easier ways but it’s still essential learning basics as opposed to let a program figure it out for you.
Best explanation I've ever seen.
Then you have seen very little ...
If this is only for understanding perspective ok, I guess many would found it helpful, this makes it easier to visualize. But no real point of using it in everyday drawing.
If you made a hole on the end of two rulers and pinned them down on both sides of the horizon line would that not be the same ?
Yes, but a little cumbersome to use unless you park one ruler up and one ruler down so they don't cross each other. The idea is to have a constant vanishing piont established to assist in drawing parallel lines that are seen in perspactive. The vertical lines should be controlled by using a horizontal guide to set a ddrafting triangle on.
Yes
White pin not the same horizontal line?
As you go above or below the horizon, are we seeing the inside or the outside?
Delends on where your shadow is😉
Genius idea!
Very impressive and helpful..don't know why people waste time on tikitoki
love this visualization of a Cube,......makes you look deeper into your own process.
As a drawing tool/help no so........but love the idea visualization.
Thnxs for the share friend.
So cool! Thanks ! It really does put things into perspective!
In my opinion it is a lot easier without strings...
This technique makes it easier for you to understand how a two point perspective works, If you get the idea, you can work without it
this method is more accurate
I wish my teacher could be as clear as you!
Ann Peters gee, I wonder if I have your teacher now...
You made it simple! Thank you
All this messing with elastic strings only confuses and complicates a pretty basic process of marking the vanishing points and connecting the vertical line with any straight edge that is long enough to reach those vanishing points.
Why re create the wheel with a worse, more complicated wheel?
Excellent! Dude, I wish I had come across your idea when I was in Drafting class. You have simplified it nicely. Good job!
Brilliant! No one has ever shown me that before!
So inventive! Bravo!
This is a really great tip and something I may use. Only thing that concerns me though is the placement of the VP's. Since they are closer to the picture, wouldn't this distort your objects more?

Quite interesting. I don't know how I'm going to use this knowledge as I haven't covered 3D drawing yet.
You’re so smart!!
How cool is that! I'm going to try this. Thank you.

This should be known as
“String Theory “ not that other shit.
Thanx for posting this 😘
Very ingenious. It helped me to understand perspective. Thank you for sharing
Can Piotr do three to six points? 🤔
Beautifly explained @ Understood. Thank You
This is just excellent. You are amazing.
Excellent method using
I finally got it! Thank you
Well that was bloody good well done ..
Siempre me ha gustado dibujar, pero con estas técnicas que veo en tus vídeos me han ayudado a mejorar notablemente. Thank you
