That's a great thing to do! Also because it's really the point of the exercise, it's just a means to an end! The goal is to learn to rotate anything in perspective
Nemo, I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was always SO confused how to rotate the box and draw them believable in said rotations and you showed and explained it so well I actually understood it. And believe me when I say I have watched a lot of videos about boxes. This was really well done, thank you! I was desperate and nearly quit (which is bad, because I think this exercise and drawing stuff in perspective is a really good way to get better and better). Thanks a ton, really. 😭
Your channel is so so so helpful. I was getting stuck with my perspective sketches looking weird although i had been using all the rules, and thats when i figured I needed to touch up my boxes again. The more time I spend on basics, the less I'd have to struggle with other topics. Your channel is a godsend. Tysm :)
My good god you do not know how much I needed this style of breaking down visual, 3 dimensional information and explanation in my life. I myself didn't realize it until I saw your video. Thank you so so much. Things finally make sense 😭😭😭
It's interesting that keeping the units consistent during rotations works. In the 3rd column (first row), when viewing the cube directly from the corner, the distance between the sides appears to remain the same as the unit length of the original square. However, in reality, it's sqrt(2) times the unit length. This simplification makes things way easier.
Good video, thank you for the help. When I draw the cubes though sometimes they can look a bit squashed like someone sat on a carboard box and tried to make it look normal again. Hopefully after a few more practices I may be able to fix this.
hi hyd today first of all i been drawing boxes for a while, but always get confused when it comes to getting other angles right until i watch your five lines measurement now i can draw any angles with out the five lines THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge.p.s. now i can think outside the box
Wow this make so much more sense. You can follow a corner, Tracking the Y shape of a corner as it’s aiming for one of the 1/16ths of a square intersections using the 4 1/3 2/2 3/1 4
Nope, it really just is rotating on one axis, then again on the other axis. Better to do it like that, I wouldn't recommend trying diagonal rotations manually tbh. Just doing these will cement them in your head anyway, to the point you should be able to recall them at whim
I practice this, but I add a bit of fun into it. I start by drawing boxes, and imagine I'm drawing my characters, while adding their proportions.

@@theartofnemo Also, if you could do this for cylinders, then that would be really helpful. Great tutorial btw.
Ha! They can be inscribed in the boxes if you make them 2x long! I will write it down for one of the next videos anyway :)
I didn’t realize how terrible my understanding of boxes was before watching your videos. Your explanations are revolutionary to me
Hey, glad I could help!

Thanks for the tips, i'm actually working on boxes and was looking for having credibles rotations!

Glad to hear it!

This is amazing, one of the best tutorials that made me really understand, keep the amazing work 🙏🏻
Happy to hear that!
This is so awesome. Easily the best explainer on cubes I’ve found as a beginner
Wow, thanks!
Instant sub , can´t wait to dive in to your other videos . Great help for a starting artist !
Welcome aboard!
Good video, thank you for the help. When I draw the cubes though sometimes they can look a bit squashed like someone sat on a carboard box and tried to make it look normal again. Hopefully after a few more practices I may be able to fix this.
Might take some time, keep it up!
Amazing video, somehow it's very comprehensive yet easy to digest for me!

Thank you, Sensei. Helped me a lot. As always
Happy to help!

Yeah that's the gist of it!
Excellent content, bro. Even me with my rude english, could understand 80% of your explanation. Thank you for share this.
thank you nemo ! ur explanation really enlightening man !
My pleasure!
Can you please make a video like this about cylinders🙏?
I get asked a lot! Will do!
Is there a video about rotation along the diagonal?
Nope, it really just is rotating on one axis, then again on the other axis. Better to do it like that, I wouldn't recommend trying diagonal rotations manually tbh. Just doing these will cement them in your head anyway, to the point you should be able to recall them at whim
This is what I'm learning right now.
amazing, very helpful!
You're the best, thanks man!
Too kind! :D thank you!
Is there a horizontal translation between the rotated boxes?
Or are the boxes supposed to rotate in the same axis?
The boxes are totally separate from each other :)
So just divide the boxes into 5 segments?
The only thing i'm struggling with are the 3 point perspective ones, i'll keep this in mind
Also keep in mind it's a rough approximation
Great video
Thanks
No problem!
excellent tutorial, thank you 😊
Thank you! Happy to help!
Thanks for this! Commenting for the algorithm.
Thanks :D
thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
I like your videos, very useful
Thank you! Glad to hear that!
Generous of Master Nemo to share his secrets with us wee art goblins!
Not really a secret haha. I just figured there aren't many thorough explanations on how to do this
@@theartofnemo I was commenting something dumb for the algorithm xD haha
lol! I figured. Thanks for the help :D
I love you nemo please dont die
wut lol. Why would I? :D Anyway thanks
Lol 😂
Bro ty so muchhh this really helped me i was struggling with the box method for anatomy 😭🫂🫂
Oh neat! Glad it could help you!
