So, we've got a bunch of perspective lessons on the way. Be sure to subscribe to catch them. Many will be free lessons, but if you want all the lessons, projects, demos, and critiques you’ll need to sign up for the premium course at proko.com/drawing.
We all do lol. Technical precision is best done with a ruler but we wanted to be sure to show that laying in perspective doesn't have to be all rulers and numbers. We're doing some eyeballing and loose lay-ins to built up that intuitive perspective skill.
Thank you! I understand everyone has to make a living and therefore one must not give away all the knowledge they have for nothing. But for people like me who live on a fixed income but want to better themselves in their hobbies, your free videos are of great help!
4:37 glad i'm not the only one having trouble drawing straight lines and immediately breaking down into a sweat and anxiety Thanks for the video introducing 1pp, Proko! 💙🦈
Its times like this ProkoTV that take me back to when we first fell in love. Our Horizon lines are infinite and my heart will never converge to a vanishing point no matter what boxes people attempt to drawn around it.
One of my gifts over the holidays included a perspective sketchbook. I've already studied perspective basics, but I realized while doodling in the sketchbook that having the preprinted grid was a great way to practice sketching scenes without the additional back-and-forth of calculating the horizon and vanishing point every time, especially as you add more vanishing points. If you're working digitally you can also make grids for yourself using the digital tools.
I have yet to finish this video but having been given a demo and explanation of 1-point perspective by RUclipsrs and teachers for many years this is by far the clearest and best explanation I’ve ever seen. You don’t state stuff in a roundabout way or exclude important exceptions. You just lay it all out clearly
I remember doing this exact same exercise in college. 1 point perspective boxes looks simple enough, I should pratice more. It's when the things inside the boxes are created that the trouble begins, at least for me.
Good sir, thank you kindly for this lesson. I've struggled mightily with grasping the concepts of perspective and after spending an hour on this video I am excited to go to the next lesson. It felt great to draw those boxes and it gave me a ton of ideas. Will continue to keep it locked in!
I've been wanting to work on my intuitive perspective, and Proko is right on time as always. By the way, I've never understood if one, two or even three point perspectives help in drawing forests and hills and whatnot. If you see this comment, would you let me know?
It won't be as directly applied to the contours of the trees as it is to boxy objects, but everything is affected by perspective. So learning how to draw boxes will help you understand how that same effect applies to trees in a forest.
Hey Stan, I dunno if you'll read this buy I am enrolled in the basics course and want to complete it all at some point. However, I'm extremely busy with my own art trying to make a living, and the little study time I have is focused on some more focused things I need to tackle. However, perspective is EXTREMELY difficult for me and I have never been able to learn it; I've tried multiple times and always failed. So what I'm wondeirng is; if someone is taking the basics course, would skipping to the perspective section to focus on that leave them confused and lacking information from previous parts? I do want to do every part at some point but if this perspectvie section could help with my chronic inability to understand this subject I want to do it ASAP.
You can skip to the perspective section and you won't be completely lost. The only thing i think you might want to review is the line weight lessons. Those might help your perspective drawings look better.
I really want to master perspective but I'm 31 and I feel like I'm getting discouraged trying to learn new things, feels a lot more overwhelming 😅 thank you for this video, I hope to start drawing interesting backgrounds not just leaving it blank all the time 😂
I would love to learn how to lock items in boxes. As for perspective, I usually have trouble drawing landscapes when the vanishing points are outside the image and I have to use an extremely long ruler. I think there is a method to this, but everywhere they explain it in such a way that I don't understand it :( Do you have any advices?
Thank you proko, I was just relearning how to draw perspective and you just read my mind thank you guys for all the great work y’all do!!!!! 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
Every time I hear about vanishing points, the context is about straight lines approaching a point. However, the examples given in these videos often include drawings with warped and curved perspective lines. The drawing at 11:45 has this a little bit too. How does one construct these?
Would love to get an explanation on why the Z-axis edge has to be a certain length to create a cube in 1pt perspective along with 2pt, 3pt etc... I've seen a lot of videos on perspective, but no one really explains this at all...
I was commenting on a video like one or two weeks ago that I still don't get 1-point perspective. I still don't really get it. 😅 1. is it my point of view or where do I have to imagine the persons point of view? (The we look down or up on it still confuses me) 2. Is perspective in every picture? How do I figure out in already existing drawings/pictures where the horizon line and vanishing point is? 3. So if we would use a grid there were 3 lines? horizontal, vertical and one to the vanishing point? But I still get confused where to draw my lines and where to stop them, 9:17 the left upper corner for example somehow confuses me. I still get confused in which direction I have to put my lines. Maybe I think way to complicated 😅It still has not clicked yet in my head. I mean I can draw them, but I have the feeling I don't really know what I am doing. Thank you so much for bringing perspective up again. I will do the exercise now 🧐
How are you today? I hope it is an excellent question. I hope it is not a stupid question. Now my art is very bad. This is a drawing in perspective. It helps me draw the characters better. I hope the response is separate from anyone. Thank you.
im taking erik olson course on new master academy, its like 120 hours of perspective, im like 10 hours in and its driving me mad lol. Constantly has me questioning if i actually need all the complex concepts he teaches. Feels like a math lecture sometimes lol.
There are a bunch of different ways to approach perspective and some are much more about precision. This lesson came from our Drawing Basics course, where we're focusing on intuitive perspective. But in the coming months, we'll be sharing lessons from Marshall Vandruff's deep dive perspective course too. Hope the Erik lessons start to click for you soon!
Good morning. I was interested in the fact that you teach drawing in perspective. I live in Poland and we all learn this lesson at the age of 7-8 during art classes. Isn't this taught in your country during high school years?
It's taught in most drawing classes of all age ranges. How deep they go into it will depend on the teacher. The lessons from our Drawing Basics course, which this is from, assume that the student is starting from no knowledge of art or the fundamentals of art. If a person feels they know this already, they'll be able to jump past that part if they wish.
You said that if we rotate the box and it's not perfectly vertical or horizontal, it wouldn't be a one-point perspective. So, does even "Bedroom in Arles" represent more than one vanishing point? For example, the chair under the window is rotated slightly, so does that introduce another vanishing point? So, if we say about one, two, three... vainishing points, do we (almost) always simplifies it to the main points of the composition?
Yes, that piece is outside of one point perspective. But it also isn't strictly two or three, either. There are things that are ignoring all perspective, with a general room diminution towards one point.
It would be great if we could pick what proko premium videos we wanted to buy. Only 3/10 for example hold any value to me, so while I think the price is VERY reasonable for the whole course, I just wish we could purchase videos separately
The lessons in courses are planned to build on and reference each other, just like learning anything else. You can get just one course on some specific topics but there's a reason most of the courses are built the way they are. If you're looking for just perspective lessons like this one, Marshall's working on his perspective course and we'll announce when it's available. These lessons are intentionally broad overviews, rather than a full perspective course. That's how they fit into Drawing Basics.
Do you mean organic forms in perspective? If so, we're working up to that in our Basics lessons right now. First, we'll get people working with the different types of perspective with boxes and then organic forms.
This is a lesson from the Drawing Basics course. In it, we're teaching perspective fundamentals to give students a good grasp on intuitive perspective. Marshall's course is a DEEP dive on perspective. More on that in the future!
Lots of cases actually. A page with 9 boxes rotated freely in 3 point perspective will contain 27 vanishing points. A spiral staircase is a good example of something like that in real life, with each step acting as an individual box with its own set of vanishing points. Another example would be an object with more than three sets of parallel lines. Imagine trying to apply perspective to a Y shaped box. If you're observing from on top of the bottom end of the Y shaped box, you would see the outlines of this prong converging to a vanishing point in the middle of the horizon line, with the other two prongs converging to two different vanishing points to the right and left of this center vanishing point. That leaves you with an object with 5 vanishing points to consider once you add in the y and x axis' vanishing points. Does that make sense?
So, we've got a bunch of perspective lessons on the way. Be sure to subscribe to catch them. Many will be free lessons, but if you want all the lessons, projects, demos, and critiques you’ll need to sign up for the premium course at proko.com/drawing.
Someone’s got to say it…so when’s Marshall’s perspective course coming out?
Thank you Proko, you really helped me
It feels good to see that sometimes even you struggle in drawing straight lines . Btw yes i will do the warmup.
We all do lol. Technical precision is best done with a ruler but we wanted to be sure to show that laying in perspective doesn't have to be all rulers and numbers. We're doing some eyeballing and loose lay-ins to built up that intuitive perspective skill.
I am 73 years old and never learned this in any of my school art classes. Thanks for the enlightening!
How much do you improve?
He's probably gone by now @@krish2817
man you’re the best art teacher I have ever seen
Thanks!

Laughed so hard on the wobbly lines cause I remembered the first times I tried perspective exercises. Thanks so much for this content Stan!

THIS THIS IS THE PERFECT LESSON THAT IVE BEEN FINDING! IVE BEEN CONFUSED IF THE ROTATED OBJECT STILL FOLLOWS THE ORIGINAL VANISHING POINT

You don’t state stuff in a roundabout way or exclude important exceptions. You just lay it all out clearly
You posted this at a perfect time. I’m struggling with perspective art with these school projects. Thanks for teaching! ❤
This has to be one of the best tutorial I have ever stumbled across on RUclips.
Thank you so much.
Glad it helps! Thanks for watching.
It's not shitty speed draw tutorials I hate them
I remember doing this exact same exercise in college. 1 point perspective boxes looks simple enough, I should pratice more. It's when the things inside the boxes are created that the trouble begins, at least for me.
This is the most helpful perspective video I’ve ever found. The explanations and elaboration on the the factors involved was quite helpful. Thank you.
Exactly what i needed ! you are the first person to make me actually like vanishing points and horizon lines.
Connect the dots and trace the ruler…. I like that a lot 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My brain is on the path to understanding this. Thank you, Proko! 😊
Perspective is the coolest thing about art
Very clearly explained.. Awesome. Thanks
This video actually helped my lining confidence more.
Thanks, Proko!
Thanks, Proko. You are the best teacher 🙏
You made this right on time watched this at 10:30Pm then used it in the morning time thanks
This is a great tutorial on one point perspective
Good sir, thank you kindly for this lesson. I've struggled mightily with grasping the concepts of perspective and after spending an hour on this video I am excited to go to the next lesson. It felt great to draw those boxes and it gave me a ton of ideas. Will continue to keep it locked in!
We making the drawing on fire out here🗣💯💯💯💯💯💯
So im just having this as an hobby, for now, and with his course on youtube, i can learn pretty much easier, and, how? really love this channel ❤
Thank you proko 🎉
Thanks for the tips Proko! Looking forward to your upcoming videos on perspective.
This is exact explanation i wanted. ❤

Very easy to understand thank you for the video. I’ll work on the one point perspective drawing boxes training! Keep practicing
This is exactly what I was looking for! Can't wait for more!
proko never misses 😭😭 so good
It was a very beautiful design. I hope you will be successful and victorious, my dear friend
this is exactly the video i was looking for
great education!!!! Thank you!!!
i love this so much best teacher ever holy moly
Thank you for Literally TEACHING ME DRAWING 😅
Thanks for letting us join you in that journey!
Thank you for your Video it was an eye opener. Grazie
This helped me alot to use lines
He isse soooo goooddd
Like no one have teached me like thisss
Thank you sooo much da
Lots of likes from india

Thank you very much. God bless. Jesus loves you!
like drawing so I draw easy drawing in my channel I also support drawing creator because you are one of we

does this also apply for incredibly complex architectures like cathedrals and are the ornaments also in perspective
1 point perspective is a thing that you apply to a drawing. You can use it with any subject matter.
You said that if we rotate the box and it's not perfectly vertical or horizontal, it wouldn't be a one-point perspective. So, does even "Bedroom in Arles" represent more than one vanishing point? For example, the chair under the window is rotated slightly, so does that introduce another vanishing point?

That shyt cracked me up 😅😂
Sir, nice nice.
But, what is the number / grade of the pencile?
Please tell me.
The dark pencil used here is a Blackwing 602
but what is the number or gread of this?
what is the grade or number of this?
@@cartooning. Black wings don't correlate 1:1 with regular pencil scales. They're high quality pencils but this is my one big problem with them.
The best way to learn perspective as a beginner is to DRAW A BOX :)
