Is This Why You Don't Understand Perspective?

- Do you understand perspective videos but then don't know how to apply them when you draw? It might not be your fault! This video may solve your dilemma. It's not the details that might be the problem, but rather this more fundamental misunderstanding. The good news is it's easily fixed with a proper understanding!
Those quick blurs in front of the camera are mosquitoes! I was being eaten alive!
Sir are you alright

Your videos have been very helpful in learning perspective, you are a great teacher and you explain the concepts very well as well as explaining solutions for roadblocks that aren't as obvious or other videos seem to skim over or not mention at all. I would write paragraphs here about how perspective is unique in its own way and requires a different mindset when compared to anatomy or other areas to me at least, but I won't. A good video topic would be discussing perspective books that have helped you or what you would think would help beginners artists when it comes to this subject. One book I've read is Perspective Made Easy by Ernest Norling that has helped me tremendously in understanding despite being written so long ago, it's fundamentals and applications to modern life is second to none I feel. Keep making videos, they have been fantastic!
This is very encouraging to hear Sasmin. Really great to know my approach makes sense. Im afraid I’ve never used any perspective books or other materials, which is perhaps why I use a more intuitive approach with perspective. But I’m sure many of them would be really helpful for people. All the best with your drawing. 😀
So true when you go to apply perspective to your own photo. I usually end up saying I have no idea how to apply perspective here.
I have had the pleasure of watching a few of your videos. I can say that for the first time I am starting to get it. Thank you for all your hard work. You Rock
Haha. Thanks. Glad to hear and much appreciated. 😀
Wow thank you for that great little nugget of info. This makes so much sense in how I have struggled with perspective when drawing from real life. Will work on it.
Thanks Carolyn. I really hope this is a game changer for you. All the best. 😀
That's exactly what's happening with " how to draw tutorials" not only with perspective also with trying to draw anime too it just makes you confused sometimes, is it better in this case to try to understand and draw it your own way? 😁
We need to trust our own abilities to creatively arrive at a solution for our drawing challenges - but this usually takes time and practice, and sometimes the pressure we put on ourselves for fast improvement distracts us from this. Teaching can be really helpful when we combine it with our own creativity and art practice and style. It becomes a part of our creativity, rather than replacing it.
@@stephentraversart thank you sir
if you want your anime art to improve, as someone whomdraws anime herself, you want to shape up on your anatomy and feel for solid shapes. Personally, anime these days feel too flat to learn anything from (mainly due to time constraints within the industry), but going by your icon your a fan of DB. Akira Toriyama studied anatomy, drew things he liked over and over, and used real life people and poses (watching movies and tokusatsu for one) to get the art we saw back in the day. Personally I feel Tadayoshi Yamamuro's current art (the character designer for Super) and the Cinematography found in Super's anime and manga really don't do Toriyama's style justice (again mainly due to time constraints.) but just know a LOT of folks working on DBSuper, and even older DB, studied up on anatimy. Though I can't I say the same for Toyataro (DB Super manga author and artist) sdivjdfg ok imma stop before i rant Bout DBSuper
of course there's studying the style of your favorite anime artist as well as studying anatomy. anatomy helps with breaking their style down and getting an understanding why they draw the way they do in my expierence. Naoko Takeuchi, sailormoon, anatomy isn't the greatest but I ended up undertsanding what she was going for due to my own expierence and studying. Another one of my favorite styles can be the stuff seen in Satoshi Kon movies, Vagabond, Or Ghost in the Shell 1995. So in order to have a style similar i had no choice but to shape-up on anatomy and it did help my stylized style in the long run. If you want a clearer breakdown of some animators and artist within DragonBall check out ForgottenRelics videos, and check out TotallyNotMark if you don't watch them already. TNM breaks down Toriyama's comic boook layout and explains where Toyataro kinda lacks.
How to draw Anime Tutorials books, I also learned while growing up, are also mostly scams drawn by people who kinda don't understand *why* anime looks the way it does, or stick to a specific style thats a very mainstream version. One author in particular would take credit for the artwork within that wasn't even drawn by him (his actual style being really bad and full of anatomical errors)
not saying anime styles are bad and not Art as people like to say but like Perspective tutorials, they can be hit or miss. learning fundamentals and anatomy are still important. Use it to make BETTER anime! from one anime fan to another. sorry for the rant.
Reference the big plant fronds behind you. If you had one next to you, say the one in the middle where the tip almost touches the ground, how would of your body would it cover if you had it right next to you? That it to say - the top of the frond would be level to the top of your head.
Thanks for the great video sir👍🏻
Glad it was helpful for you. 😀
Hi, I was on my way on RUclips to find out how to set a vanishing point in my drawings, and your video just hit the nail on my head. It's literally what I've looked for. So, would you mind to deal with about how to draw buildings with different perspective? such as a plaza with a round shape, and there is a fountain in the middle of the plaza. Thank you for having your time to read my reply!
Draw the square that the round circle of the plaza will fit in. Then quarter it and draw each quarter of the ellipse that is formed, separately. 😀
@@stephentraversart Wow, I'm gonna try the way you taught me! It's a big gratitude, sir:)! Have a nice day😆
I'm not sure I understand or relate to the issue being described here, but I am struggling to understand how depth works in perspective and accurately representing a length in recession...
For example, there are several videos on how to draw a "perfect" cube that goes over a method which implements certain "construction" lines, measuring points, etc., but these concepts aren't explained properly as to why they are important or why they work...
It would seem that the viewer is simply meant to accept them as facts without question and I feel like a very important discussion is being omitted...
Hopefully, I can find an answer here though...
All those lines around the boxes going to the vanishing points DESCRIBE what happens, and therefore what we see, in life. They don’t CREATE the perspective. Perspective is created by the object we are looking at and the angle and distance we look at it from. Try some more videos from my perspective playlists that talk about what perspective is generally, and the problem with many perspective videos artists have 😀
My difficultly lies with understanding the rules/steps of how to make a cube in perspective...
I can follow them blindly and create the cube, but I don't know why anything that I'm doing is important...
For example, why do the Construction Lines from the Vanishing Points to the Station Point have to be at a 90 degree angle to one another and
why does the Length of the Construction Lines have to be the exact same Length as is from the Vanishing Points to the Measuring Points?
I hope this all makes sense...

Thank you, that's really helpful. I have good observational skills and can copy accurately what I'm seeing because I notice angles and very minute details. I found that videos are almost hindering as I'm trying to ignore what I'm seeing and go with a formula. I also notice when the artist is not drawing the angle or lines as straight as in the reference which does bother me. I guess what's confusing to me is that artists can give different tips and explain how to see shapes etc then they draw things without (basically just what they're seeing). My confusion is, do I need these formulas and to learn others' process if the end result is the same (we both draw what we're seeing)?!
If you’re happy with your drawings you don’t need anyone’s advice. If you want to develop them in a certain direction, you need to find teachers who are going in the direction you want your drawings to go. Otherwise you will get confused as different teaching methods take you on different paths. Choose your path, and then find videos which take you that way. Time watching videos is time you’re not drawing, so try and make sure there’s something for you to learn in it. In my opinion, nothing is more important than good observation skills. All the best. 😀
Thank u sooo much stephen🙏🤍🤍🤍
Myyyyy pleasure 😀
Iiiii am at the beginning of the video and sure. My problem is - I don’t see what I’m drawing, there is no reference that can be applied to what I have to draw. Sooooo… I’m genuinely hoping for the solution or an advice here but the hopes are low 🥹
Hope you found some help. I have two perspective playlists if your interested in some other ways of looking at the subject 😀
