Currently I am in between level 4 and 5, processing the information in between the two stages ( figures and shapes), and combining them to help proceed on to a more difficult part, specifically creating a more complex figure on a plane. Thank you so much for the video! The concept of perspective was always difficult for me to grasp, mostly because I was always making any figure I drew have wonky anatomy. :D
You explored almost everything. The only missing part is estimation of measured distance in perspective. A lot of tutorials barely consider that particular part. It's ignored a lot and yet is extremely important.
i just know that as a lvl 1 ima see a sick ref on pinterest and gaslight myself into thinking that im a level 7 just to try and then feel like im a level 0
A couple things that really smacked me about perspective and changed everything. 1. Lines that go to the same vanishing point are parallel, so parallel lines go to the same vanishing point. Parallel lines are the same distance apart the whole way. This makes it fairly easy to make things the same size at different distances. (Foreshortening is still complex, and takes a lot of practice, and I can't explain it easily because I still don't entirely understand it.) 2. The horizon is a circle. Straight ahead of you is 90 degrees. Straight to either side is 0 degrees. If you slap a cube right in front of you, and the front face of that cube is absolutely flat, the lines that define that front face go straight to either side because they are rotated 0 degrees from you. But the lines that define the sides of the cube go to the 90 degree vanishing point because they are at a 90 degree angle from the front. This is what we call "single point" perspective, but it's not. It is the exact same "two point" perspective you get when you rotate the cube by 20 degrees. Now the lines defining the front of the cube go to the 20 degree vanishing point, and the lines defining the side go to the 110 degree vanishing point. 3. Once you get THAT, you can add that two point perspective is also three point perspective - there's also a VERTICAL horizon. Straight ahead of you is 90 degrees, straight up or down is 0 degrees, so the front of that cube is not tilted at all and the vertical lines go straight up and down to the 0 degree vanishing point. but the sides of the cube are at a 90 degree angle from the front and go to the 90 degree vanishing point, which is where your regular horizon already is. If you tilt the cube ten degrees toward you, then (a) your vertical vanishing point on the bottom moves to 10 degrees, and (b) ALL your horizontal vanishing points for this object rotate ten degrees upward. Tilt it ten degrees away, the vertical vanishing point on the TOP moves to ten degrees, and all your horizontal vanishing points rotate ten degrees downward. This will make a lot more sense if you just take a two-point perspective drawing and turn it sideways. 4. Curvilinear perspective is just regular perspective backwards. Standard three point perspective is looking at a flat plane but the horizons on the back are curved. Curvilinear perspective is just a curved front plane projecting back to the flat back plane. Four point is a half-cylinder, five point is a half-sphere. Flip them around and you have two-point and three-point respectively. (Notice that you can turn four-point on its side just like you can two-point. You've just got one of your horizons at the "magic" value where the lines look straight.)
There is an elephant inthe room which is that you CAN consecutively use one point AND two point perspective in the same drawing. You can do this by doing the background in one point but the character or the object in 2 points.
No matter what level your at these are great warm ups to strengthen your ability to draw in perspective intuitively and I want to thank you for reminding me of that. I've demonstrated levels 1-6 throughout my career but I just want to sit down and start intentionally doing these exercises because I've never done that. The arrogance, never skimp on practicing shapes in perspective people!!
I'm so happy to have found this channel as u explain in a way that doesn't want me to not start. Now, I can finally reactivate my lost passion to draw ❤
6:05 my current thought process is: if it’s too easy, you’re either doing it wrong or not doing it with full understanding of why. the other option is you’ve already excelled past this level.
Best video on perspective for me. I literally watched 2 mins and 20 seconds of video in almost an hour because i stopped right away to practice. Then watched the whole video, I'll watch it 100 times if it means to master the fundamentals. Thank you so so so much. Btw I'm a medical student but I'm very very interested in perspective. Kishimoto's perspective, kim jung gi's perspective, murata, muira, inoue, etc all of their perspective and art inspired to learn and I'm willing to do all the hard work. For the first time i was able to think in 3D not the whole way through but i got glimpses and i believe as i go through I'll be able to imagine more. Thank you so much for this video!🙌🏻🌟 Lots of love and support!
This is basically the fast version of what I learned in an art fundamentals course at college. 1000% all artists should, especially beginners or intermediates, (but professionals too) go back to basics and learn or relearn cubes, rectangles cylinders and 1-3 point perspective. That shit is the fundementals and everything else is dessert. Its kinda like... learning to walk and run, before you learn basketball and soccer.
Those exercises are pretty much what I do as a warmup everyday. I also try to do a flip animation to help me learn about movement and flow in 3D space. I dont know who Omao is but I'm glad to have stumble upon their work in this video. I love the dynamic depth of field.
I FINALLY have inspiration to draw but I have homework... This video has taught me a LOT about perspective. Even though it's just 10 minutes long it actually helps the viewer understand perspective in a simple way. Thanks!
I JUST STEPPED IN THIS WORLD OF ART & ANIMATION I DON'T KNOW ON WHICH LEVEL I AM IN BUT I ACTUALLY DOING WELL LEARNING EVERYTHING QUICKLY AND I FOUND THESE VIDEO WHICH IS VERY HELPFUL😯💯 . PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS😊❤
Fun fact: You don't really need to learn anatomy You just have to know how a body is actually formed, these basic shapes wer are learning are the ones we can also use to draw a body
A lot of people who draw manga because they're such tight deadlines. They just Trace over photos to make backgrounds and other people just use 3D software to make backgrounds and Trace over them
DUDE I'M BACK, I just wanna say thank you sm for this vid, like OMG OMG, I now know a way to draw literally anything, tysm for this video, I just try drawing things base on square and just rotate angle, Dude it looks so much better and suit together all the shape, create into a really good drawing, I think this is a new route to my drawing process, It's such a life saver, my drawing not look like a flatty anyore, IT CAN BE USED ON ANYTHING, POSES, BACKGROUND, ETC
What messes me up for some reason is when a something isn’t perfectly aligned to the x and y axis😭as soon as the it switches I loose all sight of Perspective 🤣
I really struggle with foreshortening. It not only depends on angles but also the distance of the object to the viewer. But the worst part is: how do I practice drawing it more or less accurately? How do I know the foreshortening of a cube doesn't actually make it much longer/shorter along the z axis?
Once you can comfortably and accurately complete the levels then I think it's time for you to move on! I will say that each of these levels are meant to be revisited. Once you are good with a level it doesn't mean that you can't go back and practice it again!
In general, environments (especially man-made) are easier to draw in perspective than characters. However, it could just be an issue with familiarity with the subject matter (knowing what details to put in, etc). One way to combat this is to just use a ton of references! Hope it helps :)
Which level are you on? 🧐
Level -1 -_- I still haven't learnt how to draw bodies well- 😭😭

lvl 0! started drawing this week and currently researching how to draw a cube, send help pls...
Level 6 :)
level 1
Dude I am obsessed with 3 point and fisheye perspectives. They’re just so dynamic and really gives the drawing a 3D feel.
I, also a fellow fisheye perspective enjoyer, it feels really dynamic and have this cinematic feel, like as if you were in the art itself.
But we dont have fish eyes @@beegend
there's no way i could draw in 3d when the screen is 2d with my 1d skill

@@Editsagastudios You need to read point 2 again.
I hope to find this comment one day and understand everything in it
Can you dumb it down for me.. thanks…
Omao definitely had some of the best perspective out of the like 2000 artists I follow. I feel validated that someone even made a video on it
NAHHHH, I NEEDED THIS, I LOVE YOU BRO. 😭 😭❤❤

1:53 her name is Yotsuba for those that wondering
I dont have a ruler so I dimorph my arms bone and use it as a ruler.
Thanks for the coool coool tutorial!
rn i'm at lvl-underground but this was a really good video, I'll start practicing this, thanks for the help!!
Im new in drawing and this video helps a lot tbh. I hope to see more such usefull content for beginners from you !
Ey I love perspective, I drew a lot of them maybe not good but I like it 🙌
Very useful video i was searching a video for learn perspective and actually i'm training the level 2
Fun fact: You don't really need to learn anatomy

I’m in level 3 it’s been a month this is a cry for help
Great video, everything is explained and short. My biggest problem is 5-point perspective and forshortening.
1:54 I love this reference for Yotsuba’s head 😂
This is a helpful video, thank you!! 🙏❤
A lot of people who draw manga because they're such tight deadlines. They just Trace over photos to make backgrounds and other people just use 3D software to make backgrounds and Trace over them
holy shet lesgooo this artist was the cornerstone of understanding basic perspective for me clad they getting more attention
Kinda based, showing what to practice and when. Ty for this!
this is the first time im within the first 500
Thank you. Tis appreciated.
1:52 Nah thats yotsuba's head dude😂
Honestly this is very informative thank you
nice, quick and easy to understand tutorial! love your voice tho 🤯
level 6 was so fun
Perfect video ❤️
More easy, do it 3D with 2D shading! But it's cost a lot too!
5:44 bro spent all that time training just to be a bunch of cylinders💀
Damn, This is so Good
I feel so hyped and my toxic mind thinking I can draw like u and her by watching this video :P

watched many art tutorials all I get is cube and circle the best thing I got is use your pose as reference
What messes me up for some reason is when a something isn’t perfectly aligned to the x and y axis😭as soon as the it switches I loose all sight of Perspective 🤣
Damn that helped
IM NEW TO ART AND JUST NEED TO LEARN ANATOMY BUT IM TAKING IN ALL I CAN LIKE A MOP EXPECT A CHEAP ONE
My small brain cannot comprehend this big brain thoughting
Hey could u make an anatomy tutorial? Also w vid
straight to level 7 XD
how do you learn the step from box shapes to actualy character detail? that feels hard as well

kiwawa enjoyer
How do you know if its a good time to start trying the next level up, like if you're trying one and want to go up to 2?

I will say that each of these levels are meant to be revisited. Once you are good with a level it doesn't mean that you can't go back and practice it again!
Surgeons casually got a big W because they have to learn about human body 25/24h
I can’t think in 3D but I can think in 4D will that work?
Whoever did that miku ones couldn’t even drawheads in perspective lol
2:57 this is like the worse part ever 😭💀
good video
This makes me question my existence. Maybe i should've stick to engineering
NO come back to art lol
@@ricebrush I never left it for my entire life... I've been learning it for years with miniscule steps through pain and tears
So true, I always rip myself between continuing an art academy or go just to another university to study management.

is there references for lever 2?
im begining now
nice video
i love you
THAT WAS AN AD? i thought you were gonna tell us how you dont need to learn a million anatomy terms
I am have a tough time drawing cubes without erasing, but I can do mannequins with foreshortening. So maybe I skipped a level!
Shaboing shaboing
Lvl 1 is where i am. I have alot to relearn... 😢😂
Is it normal to know anatomy in pretty much any perspective but suck at it when it comes to environments asking for a friend......
In general, environments (especially man-made) are easier to draw in perspective than characters.
However, it could just be an issue with familiarity with the subject matter (knowing what details to put in, etc).
One way to combat this is to just use a ton of references!
Hope it helps :)
