Thank you! This dispels the mystery of plotting the measuring point which unlocks the brilliance of Andrew Loomis' perspective projection lessons in his book Successful Drawing!
thank you so much for all the perspective videos you have no idea how much they’ve helped me. i have never see anyone else teaching the stuff you teach and i kept wondering and guessing around drawing squares and other stuff in perspective. im so grateful now that i found your youtube thank you so much 😭🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great content!!! your channel really deserves more popularity. I see you haven't uploaded in 7 months, but you have some serious material here, I know the numbers are discouraging sometimes, but you are an excellent teacher, I'm definitely subscribing for life. I wish you the best!
Thanks for the kind words and support! Unfortunately the videos are very labor intensive to produce and after schools went back to onsite teaching it had been difficult to creat more content. But I have many videos planned and am hoping to return to production in the near future in one way or another :)
@@DrawshStudio This is exactly what I was looking for. This video and the “Repeating depth in perspective” taught me what I was trying to figure out and learn. Man, you are good. I was confused because I was looking for something else. I had watched this video before I was trying to learn how to divide in proportions. It didn’t occur to me that the divisions could be odd sizes. Thanks so much.
Excellent! your tutorial of MP is so good! I have an answers: when you draw the first cube it has 10... how to you measuring 10? ...with this point you found up MP......Excelente su tutorial sobre Punto Medidor, es muy bueno!. Yo tengo una pregunta: cuando usted dibuja el primer cubo que tiene una profundidad de 10... como mide esos 10?... con ese punto usted encuentra el Punto Medidor. Muchas gracias desde Argentina!
Thank you, happy you like the tutorial :) The measuring line that was 10 inches came from the reference boxes I created. The line could have been bigger or smaller it doesn’t matter, I chose to make it 10 inches out of convenience. But it must be the same ratio as the divisions you want to replicate, and go throwing the back of the box to the horizon. I hope that makes sense! Good luck with it :)
Good video but leaves some questions for me. Suppose I need to draw a simple shape with that is 2H x 3W x 11D. If I start with 2H (Y axis) , I still can't figure out how to draw along the Z axis so that one segement is 3 and the other is 11. Where do I drop the MP? The technique you show depends on the box already being drawn. I need to draw the box itself.
There are lots of different measuring techniques, but one way to make a box at a specific scale would be to first draw a grid so you could track the scale as you build. I have a few videos on drawing grids.
Thank you :). I’m not sure what you mean exactly by “mapped” but there are many 3D programs like sketchup and others that allow for building in 3D. Also some 2d platforms like photoshop which allow for some measure of 3D perspective construction.
A program like sketchup is a 3D program, photoshop is not necessarily a 3D modeling software although it does now have some limited functionality. But I don’t understand what you mean by mapping those planes in a digital platform.
So, this video concerns itself with 2D perspective, right? So my question is if there is software that enables at least the basics of mapping out a 2point perspective without the use of a huge drawing board? Yes, this could also be described as "mapping out" if you need to use my original term. @@DrawshStudio
Any program that allows you to draw can be used to create perspective without a drawing board and supplies. Like I said, photoshop is one, procreate another, but any program like this.
Thank you, glad you like the video! Everything we do in three point becomes more complex because we have to account for the viewer looking up or down. 3 point is something I will delve into on the channel in the future so keep an eye out :)
Is there a way to work backwards from this. To get the reference shape from the final perspective without knowing any dimensions? I am curious for another project I am doing. Thanks
I’m not sure if I understand the question fully, but you may be referring to a plan projection where you use a front and side view to project into space. Or, if you mean there is already a shape that you want to analyze you could draw on top to find the vanishing points and work out the measuring lines I suppose.
@@DrawshStudio you are welcome, let me ask you, do you know If there's a method to measure the height of a cube, without relying in the perfect cube technique? Maintaining the 1:1:1 ratio. Thanks!
If it is one point perspective you can measure a perfect cube by using a measuring line outside of the picture plane and the x trick. In two point finding the height is trickier.
In this example we are dividing the box into the same ratio as the original measurement, so if the box is not the exact “size” in perspective then it won’t matter. If you do need to know that the box is the correct “size” in perspective then you can build with a grid system or other device to know the scale of the box from the start.
To be honest it is just a relative measurement, I didn’t scale everything ahead of time to fit a perfect measurement scale. The point of the exercise is that you can use any scale you want or that makes sense for your object :)
Thanks for the interest in my videos. The second half discussed and demonstrates dividing the vertical measuring line, it’s just that it goes quickly because there is nothing to it. You simply use a ruler in whatever scale you decide to divide. This works because the Y axis is not moving in depth.

Thank you for taking the time to make videos like these so they're easier to visualize. Thank you again for doing this, all the best for you
Thank you for the kind words and support. I am glad you find the videos helpful :)
Man you really answered my questions, most videos on yt didnt answer it tysm so underrated!
I’m glad this helped fill in some of the questions you had. Thanks for supporting the channel!!
thanks a lot!!! it really helps me understand perspective constructions easier!!!
Awesome! I’m glad these videos have been helping with your construction!
absolutely the perfect timing. i just got scott robinson's book recently and this helps a lot! thanks
That’s great, his teaching is wonderful! Happy the video is helping your perspective journey :)
Thank you, a very clear and concise explanation. I’ve been studying and drawing to understand and master drawing perspective. This is very helpful.
Glad to hear it. Happy the perspective videos are connecting along with the anatomy series. :)

Hey, great video. Have you ever came across a digital platform which these planes can be mapped?

...but they all do 3-point perspective, not 2-point perspective. @@DrawshStudio

hello great video. what if i want to measure in 3 point perspective? is there a method for that too?

@@DrawshStudio Thank you very much, if you record a video on that would be amazing!!
My pleasure, I can put that on the list of future videos :)
okay but how did you figure out how long to make the orange box in the first place? do you always just have to guess?
In this example we are dividing the box into the same ratio as the original measurement, so if the box is not the exact “size” in perspective then it won’t matter. If you do need to know that the box is the correct “size” in perspective then you can build with a grid system or other device to know the scale of the box from the start.
Ty 🥺
NP 😄
In 5:25 I know how to get the slope plane in the front of the box, but how do I get the exact slope width without distorting the shape of the slope
It’s all about tracking points around the frame work and connecting the dots, so all the slopes and points are given to you.
4:11 Are you sure those measurements are correct? Wouldn't 2cm be much lower down? (atleast it is when I do a 1:1 of this shape with measurements).
Those are inches :)
@@DrawshStudio Guess I need to redraw my example in Inches. Lol
To be honest it is just a relative measurement, I didn’t scale everything ahead of time to fit a perfect measurement scale. The point of the exercise is that you can use any scale you want or that makes sense for your object :)
Using the vertical measuring line to produce correct scale is mentioned but not demonstrated!
Thanks for the interest in my videos. The second half discussed and demonstrates dividing the vertical measuring line, it’s just that it goes quickly because there is nothing to it. You simply use a ruler in whatever scale you decide to divide. This works because the Y axis is not moving in depth.
4:55 I'm confused as to how that exact point position was determined.
The point is where the line I draw across to the left vanishing point met the line I had previously drawn to the right vanishing point. :)
Trying drawing the same example, but with the box wholly above or below the horizon, then it's easier to understand!
:D
