Hey, everyone, so in this video, I'm going to be showing you a short demonstration of basically perspective

and let's just get started here.

So I'm just going to be labeling this just because it's easier for me perspective.

And I will zoom in so I have more space on my sketchbook.

So as I mentioned before, I mean, to zoom in real quick, saadet there.

So as I mentioned before, on drawing boxes, the easiest way to draw boxes without without a grid is

to understand where it's coming from.

So, for instance, a box that is facing away from you will always go farther away.

So let's say we have a we have a square or from the front of the box, front of the box in a more left

leaning direction or right leaning direction as it goes back and space it converges.

So fanning, fanning.

So you can see the fan look fanning street.

And the more you converge, the more dynamic that's going to be.

So I'll show you an asymmetric version of it.

And isometric version of it just means that that everything's just straight.

So one, two, three, you know, there's not really much of a convergence.

So everything's parallel.

So because everything is parallel, it doesn't look as dynamic as when they'll be converging.

So let me show you one more that's more converging.

So we have fanning.

Fanning.

Fanning, fanning, kind of go in different directions, straight, straight, straight fanning.

Fanning so kind of gives him more like dynamic feel and it gives him more kind of like energetic feel

as well as a lot of this kind of convergence shows a bit of a just just kind of a more motion based

part of drawing boxes.

So if you want something more dynamic, go for more of this angle, which is more convergence.

This is more in the middle and this is just completely asymmetric.

So now I'm going to be showing you guys the more abstract version of it, which is the horizon line

and the vanishing points.

You can use a ruler for this.

In fact, I will go ahead and find a straight edge, will quit and I will be right back.

All right.

So I'm back.

And here I have a strategy straight edge with me.

A straight edge is basically just a ruler.

I had this metal one just in case if I want to press down and I think I'll use this first.

So let's get started on the more abstract part of our lesson here.

So here, of course, I have.

I just moved my paper downward.

I'm going to leave a little bit of room so I could have both downward of I can have both boxes lower

on the lower part of the president horizon line.

Sorry, I can't speak today and the upper part of the horizon line.

So let's first get started with understanding what Horizon line is.

Horizon Line is basically just the visualization of your eye level.

So this is just kind of more like a graph that you guys can or not with a graph.

It's more like a visualization that you can use to basically just draw our horizon, which are I love

what.

So here, I'll draw a little eye.

One, two, three.

Eyelashes make pretty.

And basically from here we can look up from the horizon line and look down from the horizon line.

So if something is at your eye level, it'll look very flat.

If it's going if the box is up above the horizon line, they can see the bottom of it.

And if you go underneath the horizon line, then you there you see basically the top of the box.

So let me go ahead and demonstrate that first by just doing a simple one point perspective drawing here.

So I'm going to label this as one point perspective here.

We have one point, which is our vanishing point.

This is where our starting or origin point is for our boxes.

Of course, when you're making a scene, you won't be it's good to make a grid first and then, you

know, plot out your points.

But it's not really as helpful unless you have, like, out unless you have, like, a reference guide

with you.

Because sometimes when people draw illustrations or at least one begin to draw illustrations and they

try to draw a background, they don't plan.

At first, the best way to plan is to kind of look at, you know, similar images that you that you

know, is suitable for your taste.

For instance, if you want to draw a character in a city, you want to look up reference for that.

You want to look at where the character is going to be, what the buildings are like, how we like,

where the vanishing point, where the horizon line is and where the vanishing points are.

If this is an onepoint perspective or two point perspective or even three point perspective.

So stuff like that is always good preparatory, just good preparation for making illustration.

But I'm just going to be showing you kind of like the the more abstract way of perspective rather than

the more kind of like going eyeballing it, which is also helpful.

You know, by understanding this, you can understand how to drop boxes in space without a perspective

grid much easier.

So, yeah.

And it was let's go and get started.

So when it comes to a one point, one point perspective, there's just one vanishing point.

If you want to drop box, what you simply just have to do is just draw a square at the bottom.

So this is a box looking down and a lot of boxes looking down have the same qualities.

It just depends on the direction.

Try not to move your ruler.

So one, try to make it parallel, especially when you're just doing to us at one point and here we

have one.

To draw as light as you can, I'm just making a bit darker.

Just so you guys can see what it looks like.

Here we have our let me just use my other ruler, because this one seems kind of iffy.

And then here we can connect these on the corners.

So I would suggest that you guys do it for all four corners just because you can see through what the

box looks like in space.

And that's called just draw through, which means you're drawing through the shape.

So one, two and the bottom corners as well.

So don't forget that.

You'll see what I mean in a minute.

Oh, darn.

Sometimes watch out for a little stray bits here and there.

Make sure you press your ruler down pretty nicely.

You can do this by hand if you don't have a ruler, but so much harder.

I had to do all these by hand, by the way.

I had like, you know, I'd go to my lines basically meaning like if I want to do a straight line,

I won't try.

I'll just do the motion and then I just draw the straight line afterwards.

You guys don't have to do that.

This is just for demonstration purposes.

So anyways, let's go and draw the top of the box.

Now, you can make this as a long or as short as you want.

I'll make it kind of relatively shorter.

Make sure it's straight one, and then you see that the bottom has these guidelines as well, what you

can do afterwards is go to these four corners, to the to these two corners, and then just go straight

down, make sure it's pointing correctly.

If not, don't worry about it.

Stuff like that happens.

So once we have our two lines, then we can go ahead and draw the finishing of the box.

That is basically a one point perspective box.

And just to be a little bit more picky.

I want you guys to darken the outer edges because that's important when you don't understand where the

main box is, aside from all the inside details on make sure that the outer borders our are bold and

nice.

So if we were to draw a box without all this rigmarole, what we can do is understand that, OK, I'm

looking down at this box, I would draw a square the best I can.

I'll draw a box one here.

I understand that.

I'm looking down at it, so I will see the top.

And this is one point perspective.

It's only going in one direction.

If I want to draw the inside of the box, I can go ahead and do that.

Just make sure that every line is going in the same direction, because it's one point, so one point

is kind of the direction of where the box is going.

So basically, once you have an understanding of this and you sort of have to understand this, you

can blend the two together and that it'll become a lot more it'll become a lot more easier to understand

how perspective works without using in using a grid all the time.

So this is good for areas like the pelvis.

For example, if you don't understand how to draw boxes in space, you will have a lot of a hard time

with drawing, you know, something like the pelvis box.

And I always I will explain that once we get to that lecture, a basically a pelvis box is basically

the interpretation of what your pelvis will look like in, you know, just as a form.

And some people, myself included, will sometimes be like, oh, well, where is the pelvis on the

body anyway?

And how do I draw how do I know if this is this is correct in perspective?

Well, once you draw boxes a lot, you will understand a lot more on how things work in space.

Same goes for Cylinder's, but I'm not going to go through that as much because boxes are usually kind

of like the basic building blocks.

So anyways, let's go let's do one in another direction, maybe in a more thin, thinner box.

Maybe a wider box could be.

So it could be, as you know, as wide or as long as you want, just make sure that you have your starting

box.

Now, a lot of people, not a lot, but I've seen some students try to draw diagonal boxes like a turning

box.

Now that's hard because there's multiple steps to it and you don't have to do that.

I know it's optional for you guys, and I don't suggest that you guys do that very often because the

because there's a different process to it.

You have to, you know, make sure that your rotation is good and finding like the degree of the rotation.

So that's why when you try to do tilted, not tilted or I guess turned boxes are rotated boxes, it's

a little bit difficult.

You have to, you know, basically use ellipses for that.

And that's a whole different ballgame.

You don't really need it that much unless it's absolutely necessary.

So here we have we're going to connect all the Four Corners the best you can.

Make sure that the back part is light and not too dark.

I'm just drawing darker just for demonstration purposes.

So now I'm going to be drawing the the side of the box, the top shirt straight.

In this case, you want it to be a more parallel because this is only one point perspective.

It's not really anything like that.

There's no other point that's making this a different direction or going in or converging in a different

directions, only converging at one point.

So you can see that this that the reason why that these lines are more Convergys, because it's going

this way.

So now we have out of the box now is go ahead and make this pull this down and then finish off the box.

Of course, if it's not too accurate, don't worry about it just takes practice to get used to.

So that's your other box, I would ideally wish that these these points were connected more and better

way, but.

Oh, well, you get the point.

Sometimes that just happens with making the vanishing lives, not being super accurate, as you can

see, you know, sometimes these kind of missed the mystery points here and there, but that's OK.

It's normal to have these mistakes, so don't trash yourself for it.

Make the borders a bit darker just so you can you guys can see where the main box is rather than looking

at the inner details of the box itself.

Now, let's go ahead and draw a box on the upper part.

So here, let's draw once again a square or a the front of the box.

Let's make it.

Let's make it more like a square.

And once again, we can go ahead and connect all the points.

One.

To.

Three.

For once, we have the in boxes ready, then we can go ahead and draw a line to make it as thin, as

narrow or as wide as you want.

And then you can go ahead and make sure that this is all lined up.

So this one lined up pretty nicely because the lines were accurate, so that's good.

So as you can as you can see these inner parts, which is what we actually don't see the top part of

the box.

Yes, it's see through, but we mainly see the bottom box part of the box because we are looking up

at it.

So when we're looking up at it, we only see the bottom and the front.

We don't see the top at all or the sides, depending on where you're looking at in this particular box.

We don't we only see the side here and the side of the bottom in reality and only drawing through the

box just to make sure that that my construction was correct.

So now let's draw one on the other side, just for reference.

So let's draw another box.

Let's let's maybe make it a more wider box as well.

Now, let's go ahead and connect all the four dots now in this case, we will be able to see the side

of the box because we are looking in the direction where it's showing.

So we will see this side of the box, the other side of the box and in the bottom.

If you notice what I said earlier, this will have more depth because we see three sides of the box.

We will see three sides of the box rather than just two, like this one here.

Let's go ahead and.

Straw, the other corner, good.

Now let's make this let's kind of just finish up this box here.

So one, make sure it's straight to.

It may not be that accurate in this one.

Two, that's looks better.

I'm going to erase that because it was tilted.

Make sure it's parallel in this case because we're not seeing any other convergence besides these side

lines here.

That's in the box.

Let's talk in these images here, just the outer edges don't darken the inner edges because that will

take away from the actual box itself.

That's called lying.

Wait, so BINDWEED is usually you have a very light line for medium line and you have your bold line

and that bold line always happens on the outside the number two line.

So I would guess I'll just make a little demonstration here.

Number three is your darkest line is your boldest line.

Number two is lighter than that.

Just kind of more in the middle your drawing lines.

And then number one is your very basic sketch lines.

And that is just for like blocking in things.

And these lines, which are very useful because once you make illustrations, you want to start off

with your number one line at first just to kind of, you know, get the flow of drawing first.

And then later on, you have your number two line, which is a little bit darker, more refined.

Number three is your more refined line the more of the boldness of your forms.

Oops, sorry.

So, yeah, that's how you would draw one point perspective.

Let me actually add a third box just so it doesn't look like just kind of half and half like that.

So I'm going to be drawing a box more on the horizon line.

So I'm going to show you what that looks like.

So of course, once again, we draw a box.

And in this case, we only see two sides because we're neither looking up or nor down at it, we're

looking at it from the front end to the side because it's on the horizon line.

So once again, we still connect all four boxes just to see if see that our construction is correct.

And we draw the other side of the box, make it as wide or as narrow as you want.

It's not straight, then the correction in the lineup will be a bit off.

I think this one was a little bit off, but, oh, well, we'll just finish it off anyway.

We can see that the main sides that you will mainly see is the front of the box and the side here,

because we're not looking down, nor about the only person we are looking down at is when the top part

of the box in the bottom part of the box because it's above the horizon and below it.

So that's just the only cases that we would kind of see.

So anyways, that is pretty much it for one point perspective.

Let me know what you guys think and I'll see you guys next by.
