I found your channel through proko, and the amount that I've learned about the comic industry and how some of my favorite artists draw has been unbelievably helpful for my art. You've really helped me bridge the gap between all the theory I've been learning and how to apply it to get the style that I've always wanted to get, thanks!
Finch is remarkably generous with his knowledge and experience. I too have learnt a truckload just watching his free tutorials, most bury their nuggets of wisdom behind pay walls but Finch just shares them.
Of all of the art stuff I’ve learned this guy has been the most helpful, because he doesn’t just teach you theory & “how to draw”…he actually shows you himself drawing and walking through the process. I’m learning the mindset and the flow of someone who draws like this…it’s making me realize that I actually know how to draw pretty well now - I just didn’t understand how to put it all together. It’s also helpful that he makes mistakes and doesn’t edit them out, because when I make those same mistakes I get REALLY hard on myself. Seeing him make them, deal with it, and just have a “well that happens” kind of attitude, makes me realize I can’t expect myself to be more accurate than a professional - and I wouldn’t want to be anyways, because that’s not how he operates. It’s not how I want to operate either. I can emulate this behavior now, and put my art together. Thank you so much for this channel. I thought I sucked at art. Just a couple of your videos made me realize I was just missing some key lessons!
ikr. for the first time in forever i get how to draw perspective. usually people only teach boxes and simple shapes which is easy to understand but then when i try to apply i cant imagine how to start.
I think the biggest "Mathimatical" idea behind 3 point is that it depends on the feel you want the scene to have. If you shift the top point more to the right, the buildings feel like they are looming and they make you feel stuck or crowded, while having the 3rd point more to the left you see the sky more open, giving the vibe of hope or something to look forward to.
In this case yes. The general rule is not to put the third point to far out, as it can distort shapes (squares > diamonds) due to a larger field of vision.
I swear on my life, I could be in a predicament with a project I need to get done, and you show up right on time with a new video AND THE EXACT ADVICE I NEED LOL. Thank you Mr. Finch 👍
Only a couple minutes into the video and I can tell this is closest to the exact content I was looking for with impeccable timing. I am already familiar enough with the different types of perspective and how they're used, so I was tired of listening to the same explanation, but I struggle with translating the perspective of a brief/idea in my head, onto the 2d surface and this is already a ton of help
Considering I'm writing/drawing my series by myself, it really helps to know things like this. Time is an essense and it's what I have to do sometimes. Can't imagine drawing some of these old school graphic novels back in the day. Some of those had to have taken hours to draw!
I've traditionally used DAZ-3D as a tool to create reference images, for my hand drawn art. It's great for drawing a complex image with multiple light sources. That way I don't have to worry about who owns the to reference image, because I do
One issue I find I have is whenever Im creating a setting like this I spend way too much time looking for reference of random objects to put in. Hopefully I can build my visual library in my head so I dont have to waste time like that in the future. Great video as always Dave!
Don't worry! Spending tonnes of time having to study from reference is how it works near the beginning. You'll naturally stop needing to use ref as you keep drawing
I've been spending the holidays with my wife's family and noticed her cousin taking pix of the most mundane stuff. Streets, rooms, car interiors. I asked if he found artistic value in every day street settings. "No. I'm an illustrator. This is all reference so I don't have to make up what everyday life looks like." 🤣
I dislike drawing backgrounds but now I really want to get better at it. When you say I drew a simple background and it's better than Evey background I've ever drawn it really makes me think about the effort I put in...
2:06. I did that ( + some concentric circles ) with a computer and printed it out. I use it on a light table under the sketching paper. And it works perfectly. I can move the vanishing point and horizon line anywhere before deciding where I'll place them in the end. Thank you for a great idea.
God Ive been looking for a video like this for 4 years. There are so many excellent resources for faces and figures, but subjects need settings! Thank you so much, now I can tie my work together
when you rubbed out that floor in the corridor scene my eyes opened and jaw dropped. such patience. the difference between pros and hacks. i’d have given up and done something else and hated myself. lol.
This trick of the 2 rules one to paralel to the other, and moving with the little engines is real useful...!! A lot easier to manage and carry than a paraflex. 👍👍
this is like tools for spacial awareness. i feel like im able to create pictures from whatever perpective in my mind and translate it to paper. but obviously not to the degree of accuracy that the graph lines would. very useful
On the off chance you weren't just looking to make a joke, the horizon line should be synonymous with the eye line of the viewer, that is to say the horizon should generally always be at the same height as the viewer's eyes. So you have to consider where you want the viewer to be looking from, and to some extent even consider how tall they are, or if they would be standing/sitting/floating in the air/laying down on the ground/etc. If the target audience are children, then it might make sense to use a lower eye line so adults heads are well above the horizon, while drawn children around the same target age as the viewer would have their eyes roughly line up with the horizon. Alternatively, if the viewer is intended to be an adult, then the eyes of adult characters should be around the horizon line, with maybe the males on average being a bit above it, and the females a bit below it if you want to split the difference between them. While any children characters would be well below the horizon, assuming the goal was to portray a scene from the point of view of a standing adult observer. How high or low on the page the horizon line is will also depend a lot on if the view is tilted up or down, with the horizon line moving opposite of that tilt (looking up pushes the horizon down, while looking down sends it higher on the frame/page). Tilting the view is also what brings in the third point in a 3 point perspective image; if the view was roughly perpendicular to the ground, then you would only be dealing with either 1 or 2 point perspective, as the vertical lines would be parallel with the sides of the frame usually in that case. A good starting point for a horizon in an image without tilt would be to cut across the middle of the frame, though if you want to showcase either the ground or the sky, it is fine to shift it from the center up or down as needed to show off whatever is important in the scene.
@@Uradamus I was being serious actually and I really needed this comment. Thank you so much, I never knew how to handle the horizon line, or even what it was for. I just put it as “there’s the floor” all the time. I will be screen capping this, thank you again!
“If you need to draw a large round room, that can be pretty much impossible…” me: watching this video so I can figure out how to draw a large round room in perspective. Your videos are life savers for real.
You are a good dude David. Byrne was my hero as a kid ( before internet)!and as an adult when I found out he had a website I was so excited… then disappointed . Never get to know your heroes, unless he’s David Finch:)
i wish i had youtube and a david finch tutorial back then when i was a kid. lol! you sir are a great inspiration. you blew my mind back in college with your works on ascension. damn! those angels are beautifully drawn.
This was the best video on perspective I’ve ever watched! I know about perspective, but every time I try to draw something it just doesn’t look good. Seeing how you draw really helped!
I’m a painter but I’ve been super frustrated with my lack of perspective skills when planning a piece that takes place in a kitchen. I felt forced to choose a very boring perspective because I had to work directly from photos online. This helps so much! I can’t wait to re-work it.
Thanks a lot for making this video. I have been finding it hard to understand the perspective, especially three point perspective. Watching you explain that it's hard for everyone and how to practice it is really inspiring and boosted my confidence. You are such a humble person and a great artist.
Mr. Finch, I am a huge admirer of your artwork and style. I just really love this idea and glad you put out this type of great content. This really helps people like myself in the art journey. I just want to say thank you . :)
Thank you a lot! It's a really useful video. There are dozens of video about 1-2-3 point basics, but barely anything on how to really use them. It is difficult to set the points nicely for a newbie^^
Where you place your vanishing points and if you should use three point is based on the station point (where the scene is being viewed from) cone of vision and image plane. I've already reached my character limit for YT attention span so look up Scott Robertson's book How to Draw. The explanation is only a couple of paragraphs.
This was amazing! My spatial reasoning skills are pretty poor, so drawing with accurate perspective has been a real challenge for me. This simplifies things so much!
Very helpful. I would probably take a photo of the initial sketch before adding perspective lines, and probably one with perspective lines added, prior to erasing and then drawing in after confirming perspective.
The part about using comic panels to learn perspective seems like it would be really helpful for me. I just need to find a video where someone talks about it more because you went over it really quickly so I don't really get it yet.
Great tips and many thanks for sharing this David. I spent quite a few years as an assistant animator working at many different studio's and learned to do freehand ovals, squares and lines etc on the top of a single faint (non-photo blue or orange) colour line and following a finished colour model sheet of whatever character you did that day, week or month. Working in feature films you got paid a weekly rate and, on average we were expected to do 8 to 10 drawings a day. Then I got a job working as the only assistant in a German commercial studio in Munich where the output then increased to 40 to 50 a day but this time you got paid a footage rate. These days with digital the realism is just amazing but I'm so glad, and fortunate to be out of the rat-race. I've seen more than a few people burn-out through the stress of the job and nothing is worth that plus it's your mental health at risk here and you want to keep that.
Something about styles that David for may have missed about "Styles" in Sketchup you can pick the "Hidden Lines" or a favorite of mines "Photo modeling" and you can change the thickness of the lines and color as well. this will save traditional artist ink and digital artist inking time.
I found this useful. Thank you David. I hope you put together a book on drawing backgrounds and perspective. As then I would be sitting at my desk, and I could flip through it when I want. I have the Loomis, and five, six other books on perspective for comic artists. I suppose it is now time to become a complete misanthrope for two months, and hit the books.
1st off that sci fi background you did is fantastic. I have no vision for things like that. I as a comic book artist use 3D sculpting to create all my books. It makes everything consistent and still mine. The sculpting does the heavy lifting as an artist who needs to repeat their work over and over again. The inks and color tie it all together as a visual.
In 3-point perspective it seems like where you put the third point gives a scene different impression. Like the buildings you used to show as an example, the left one looks like a typical panel used to change the scene, while the right one speaks "While in Gotham...".
I needed exercise ideas to exercise my sense of perspective, and your suggestions were great. Thanks. About art tools: they can be difficult to pay for or even manage to handle, so a simple suggestion is The Sims. I got my version of the game for free from the Epic Store and I've seen artists who use it as a reference for scenes from different angles. Sounds like a fun and affordable alternative =)
Thank you so much for sharing these amazing ways I have always been confusing in prespective things and now I think I can do it better than one point thank you so much for recommending me such a amazing video RUclips.
I already learned at "basic school" perspectives etc, but This was for sure really interesting and you gave interesting tips ☺️ I never heared about those softwares as well, that will be really helpfull ! Thanks alot !
13:57 there actually are mathematical ways to figure it out. for example: the upper vanishing point usually is somewhere on the perpendicular line through the middle of the image (if you do it fully orthodox)
Yeah, if you have the two lower (horizon) points on a horizontal line, then the upper point should be right in the middle. If it isn't, I think you're simualting what would happen if your image was cropped from the side of a larger image. For a dutch angle you would move all three points - i.e. tilt the horizon along with the upper vanishing point. The thing that I'd like to know is the rule for how high to put the xenith (or nadir) point in relation to the distance between the two on the horizon. Because you can end up with something that looks quite weird if that relationship isn't right.
@@KeanKennedy if you don't mind I recommend you a part of a video of mine. ruclips.net/video/YDanHdjPJVs/видео.html go to minute 33 and look at C2, there your question should be answered

It really helps when veteran artists show how they approach a drawing and how they make it easier for them to draw and yet keep the scene dynamic
Your pfp looks like something drawn by Segovia

Taking the perspective from other images and applying to yours is something I'd figured out and I'm glad to see it's a professional trick.

“My horizon isn’t on the floor”
Me: Is… is that what I’ve been doing wrong?!
It would be on the horizon with something like an ocean where you can't see the end of your scene
On the off chance you weren't just looking to make a joke, the horizon line should be synonymous with the eye line of the viewer, that is to say the horizon should generally always be at the same height as the viewer's eyes.

Great tips and many thanks for sharing this David.
I spent quite a few years as an assistant animator working at many different studio's and learned to do freehand ovals, squares and lines etc on the top of a single faint (non-photo blue or orange) colour line and following a finished colour model sheet of whatever character you did that day, week or month.
Working in feature films you got paid a weekly rate and, on average we were expected to do 8 to 10 drawings a day. Then I got a job working as the only assistant in a German commercial studio in Munich where the output then increased to 40 to 50 a day but this time you got paid a footage rate.

If it isn't, I think you're simualting what would happen if your image was cropped from the side of a larger image. For a dutch angle you would move all three points - i.e. tilt the horizon along with the upper vanishing point.
The thing that I'd like to know is the rule for how high to put the xenith (or nadir) point in relation to the distance between the two on the horizon. Because you can end up with something that looks quite weird if that relationship isn't right.

go to minute 33 and look at C2, there your question should be answered
