- This video is all about perspective hacks. The first several minutes are some quick examples of traditional perspective, loosely drawn in, and from there we move into using perspective from other images for our own work. Finally, we end with a quick overview of Sketchup, and Daz3d to introduce 3d to your work for mathematically perfect perspective, and even full 3d scenes, ready to drop into your work.

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
🎉
Backgrounds and perspectives are such an underrated genre, thank you for the work that you do.
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.
wow ty!
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 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!
What a wonderful comment Joe, may I see your work?
Aww, I didn't make the video but I still think this comment is heart warming. Happy for you dude
Yt channels that have actual ability to boost practical art skills for real.
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!
this is awesome
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 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 👍
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
“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. 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!
@@Uradamus this is the most helpful comment I have seen so far. Thanks 😊
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
Now this is a seriously in-depth tutorial. Exactly what I've been working on. Much Appreciated David!
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.
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!
Probably the most convenient upload yet. I'm working on a commission that requires me drawing a background.
This is incredibly helpful, thank you. I've never really thought to use 3D as a starting point but this really does speed the process up!
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
Just be sure that you aren't copying the reference exactly but just using it to understand the object
Yes!
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." 🤣
@@WanJae42 I may start doing this lol 😂
It is such a joy to see you draw as well as being incredibly helpful. Thank you.
I was just binging your tutorials and then you drop this gem, thank you David!
You can really make art easier than it looks you're an art god
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 . :)
I'm so excited to practice more on perspective and deepening my knowledge about it, thank you so much!
This is the best tutorial on perspective I've seen and I've seen them all.
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. 👍👍
I was struggling to draw my backgrounds in my drawings, then I found this video and now it's much easier.Thank you for bringing this amazing content
Your videos are always so helpful! Thank you very much for taking your time and posting this for free on YT! For real, thank you very much!!
Thanks David Finch sir! i've been looking all over YT for some perspective and this is a godsend!
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.
You are a savior like literally ! I was so struggling with this and now you uploaded a video about it thank you !
It’s always like watching a magician perform an illusion. Beautiful!
Thank you, David. Your tutorials are always awesome and help me a lot.
MISSED YOUR TUTORIALS SO MUCH! THANKS FOR THE DOUBLE UPLOADS 😭😭
Simply the best Channel out there! Finch is an absolute Master of his craft! Inspiring! Thank you!
That came together fast! Best perspective for scenes I've ever seen.. And I've seen a lot. Helpful for trying to do things from imagination. Thanks!
Love the practicality of this! Thanks Dave!
You're building the scene from a specific spot as a point of reference to build from. Nicely done.
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.
David, you are my favorite in the field. Thank you so much for your in-depth tutorials!
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!
One of the best, and most helpful videos I have seen on perspective. Thank you sir for sharing your experience and knowledge.
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.
You have inspired me to give wrapping my head around perspective another go. Thanks for the great video. This really does help. keep it up.
Thank you!! Great exercises! Can’t wait to try em all
You’ve answered all the questions my art teachers never could !
Your lessons are outstanding, thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing all tricks with us 💕
This is wonderful I just started painting and drawing again after 30 years and this really inspired me
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!
Right timing! I've been learning about perspective this week
This is probably the best tutorial I’ve watched online! Thank you
Man it is SO reassuring to see such a pro doing as much guestimation and measurement-by-looking as I do 👍👍👍
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.
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...
David Finch is just my No 1 master.
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.
BIG THANX for this one David.
This is amazing! Thank you!
Now that's a real cool ruler 😮
When I see David Finch, I click and never regret it ... Thank you so much .
Finally new video love your work
I’ve learned so much from this video alone. THANKS 👍🏼👍🏼I’m literally working on my first commission for someone who wanted a short scene similar to superhero comic style of a character with time bending powers intervening in a mugging 😅. It’s been a fun learning experience and I’ve been looking at all sorts of videos, but this one was fantastic, as I was able to follow everything you were saying and thinking about how I might be able to apply that to my own work/projects all very smoothly
Best wishes to you ✌🏼❤️ just subbed 💯
Yep, this is a killer video! 👏 using this for sure. Thanks Dave😄🤘
That's really cool. Love that sci fi corridor.
This video helped me a lot! I've always had trouble understanding perspective 😭 Thank you so much!!
This was very interesting and entertaining!! Love the tutorial... do more of them
“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.
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.
Great job explaining this to us all. It's nice to catch some hints and tips that other fellow artists use! Keep at it dude! 🤙🏻
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:)
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
Incredible video Dave! 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^^
Great video David! Thanks for sharing!
Such a cozy and inspiring video. Well done!
Thanks a lot for this fabulous video. It is very helpful and easy to understand 🙏
Thanks man 🙏. Useful as always!
what an amazing video thank you so much!!!
These are great and it feels that I need to pay to get this info but its free thanks to you. Thank you for sharing!
Needed this, ty so much 💓
tthis is gold thank you !!
I really liked the tech background :0
He has so many experience it's all intuitive to him now.
Once again, you make me glad to have subscribed to you. Thanks for your insight!
super informative! thanks David! i only wish this had been available to me a decade or so ago..
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.
Wow! Thank you!!! Subbed! Amazing!
very helpful! i've had lessons in drawing classes in perspective but this was just easier to understand
Nice this so rocks!!!! Very informative as always David!!!!
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.
Great video! Thank you. Liked and subscribed.
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 !
Sick video! 🔥
Much thanks for sharing experience and trying to help with painting
yo this is really helpful
makes it a lot easier to visualize the perspective.
Thank you for the video, your honestly my favourite artist and I was wondering how do you draw your fight choreography or how you would, also I think this might be the best tutorial so far I’ve seen on this perspective drawing technique!
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.
Awesome work! thank you for sharing such an important subject
This is so cool!! ^^
Yesss 🙌 this is the video I needed! Perspective is my weakest point!
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 =)
excellent work, dude!
I like that you basically throw away the straightedge almost immediately.
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.
