wow! You are the holy grail of over-view educators!!! I love how you used the word "You" instead of "I" to connect the viewwer with the concept in a working way. I love the real-life examples you provided, and the way you've organized your video.
A year later and this video is still a fantastic way of understanding the geometry of a box in a large amount of depth without being overwhelming, great stuff!
this is so much more than just tips, this should be supplementary material for lesson 1. it goes into so much depth while remaining very accessible with how you've used real life and digital references alongside your explanations. making informative tutorials about the technical aspect of art is no easy feat yet you've done it here with such excellence and charm, thank you for posting this
I don't really comments, but I had to after watching this video, one of the best if not the best art video ever made! The way you discribed using real world example and the amount of effort you must have put into making this is mind-blowing. I hope to see more of such videos in future. Hats off to you!
Well, that was obvious - and yet I hadn't seen it! Just knowing that someone obviously so intelligent has found learning perspective hard is hugely helpful. I have been struggling to understand perspective for about five years now so I can illustrate some written work. I actually started with the misnamed Norling book shown here. I progressed onto many others. As soon as I thought I had grasped it, I sat down at the blank canvas and it dispersed like a dream on waking. I too took some boxes and photographed them but failed to see what was going on because they were static images. Your glass box videos have been an inspiration to me. I have only just discovered Drawabox and I am going to hope that this will finally give me an intuitive understanding of what I need to do. Thank you so much for making this video., you have a real genius for making the impossible seem simple.
this is SO underrated! So much effort has been put into this and you explain it so nicely! really helped with my understand of boxes. Congratulation on the amazing content!
beautiful and engaging presentation, you've made a complex and dull subject much more digestible, the real life examples and the see-through box especially helped
Thanks for taking the time to make this! I was literally on 144 boxes and feeling a bit fed up/not really getting it. Really useful grounding it in real life objects and seeing the 3D grid.
Not only have you eased the intimidation I've been feeling just reading and hearing of the dreaded boxes, you've also planted the 'eye' in me. I will definitely observe the real word, and think of boxes and cylinders and shapes now.
this really is such a nice down-to earth video. The real life examples and charming narration really make it feel like more of a "art is for everyone" vibe instead of the very dedicated art school grindset vibe :D
I have watched several "box drawing" videos. I find this one to be especially helpful. You have clarified several things and answered questions that I didn't know I had. It looks like it was a lot of work to make. Thank you for making it. You rock!!!
so many things I just knew in my head, but didnt think twice, but once I actually thought about those key points you made while sketching, things got much easier!
underrated video, I was expecting "rotation" to be an important topic in the the "draw box" course but its missing, its very relevant, no idea why its not explained like this video.
I am like many in this comment section and don't usually comment, but this was so helpful!! I was REALLY struggling to understand some things but you explained it in a way that clicked. Thank you!! going into perspective / this box challenge with a lot more confidence now 😂
This is a brilliant way of explaining boxes. There are so many deep concepts in here, it is breathtaking. And the presentation is top notch. The three basic types of boxes and the fact that front facing boxes are one point, edge facing are two, and corner facing are three point will revolutionize how I conceive of representing space. Thank you so much for the effort you put into this video! The organization of the ideas and the loopy number of perfect examples makes huge ideas obvious. You are helping thousands of people past roadblocks that very few teachers know how to guide students around. Bravo!
a lot of this was stuff I've already noticed but it's REALLY amazing to have it articulated so clearly! I spent a lot of time in high school and college drawing boxes on grids but I feel like it's time to do this challenge again and really refresh and revitalize my understanding of perspective.
This video was SO helpful! I'm currently doing the Drawabox challenge and it just wasn't clicking in my head for some of them but this video really helped me visualize the boxes better.
I love the way perspective is examined and explained in this video, its so helpful to have a new way of understanding it and I love the real world examples and the how the video itself is reay artisticly made ❤️ thank you!!
Thank you so much for making this video!! English isnt my first language so I found it hard when reading the original instruction TT I understand it after watching ur video. Lovee youu and hope u have a nice day
come here again just want to say thank you😭this video really helps clarify boxes in 3d space. I was still a bit confused during 250 boxes challenge after watching it, but during 250 cylinder challenge I started to visualize how planes rotate just the way you have shown in this video. it was of tremendous help and deserves more views
I've been learning to draw after a really long time of wanting to but putting it off and have been doing drawabox and found this video a week or two ago and after watching it more than I care to admit, I think i'm getting a good general idea of what's going on. This is a really well put together video and I really appreciate you taking the time to make it!
Great instructional video, with a wealth of reference examples from the outside world. I particularly like the use of the clear cube, smiley sticker, and edge and face tapes/sheets. I had bought such a cube, but was finding it difficult to see the differences in edge lengths and angles to each other. Your use of the background reference 'cross hairs' makes it much easier to see these. A lot of thought and work went into making this video, and they've paid off - thank you.
This video has done the best job in explaining and helping me understand perspective. I'm still pretty lost on somethings, but this definitely helped a ton. Thank you very much! 🙏🏽
This was extremely helpful, especially because of your honest take on your personal journey in learning, it allowed me to connect to yours explanation in an emotional way WHICH also was helpful I am sure
omg thank you so much for this , i'm currently doing the 250 box challenge and your explanation is really helpfull especially when you showed exemples from real life ,
I have been struggling with understanding perspective for a while now and this is by far the most concise and easy to understand explanation i have seen. Thank you for this, i will be sure to check out the rest of the videos on your channel. Keep up the good work!
Brilliant video! It would be helpful even without the 250 box challenge, but that's how found it. Not sure whether I'll do them all, but I feel I have now a better understanding of perspective and how it changes with the positions of viewer and object.
Thanks for this Kate. I feel stupid for not breaking down drawing simple boxes into simple concepts. Just been ramming my pencil head into paper hoping for something to intuitively click. I'm hopeful that you channel has other useful content I can check out :D (Plus thank you for all the reading and reference materials. I've just turned 30 and I'm trying to be more artistic because my younger self always assumed I had no 'talent')
This video has great observations that will help others that may not figure that on themselves. Congratulations on this great resource you have created.
Thank you for a clear explanation - I had trouble since my geometry classes - my cubes were terrible. Now I can draw my 250 boxes with more comfidence=)
Really awesome video very well articulated and great showing of real world examples! Will definitely be rewatching several time as I continue to study perspective
Thank you soo much for this!! It’s so simple and concise and with a lot of visual aid, it was exactly what i was looking for to lay down my foundation of perspective

That's what I was thinking. I haven't heard second person narration in a very long time.

Too helpful. Too good. Too entertaining. I am suspicious of such good video. It is 2am, i should really stop thinking about boxes
Hahah hope you got some sleep 😴

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! Glad to know the video was helpful to you!
Yeah. Me too. Generosity
THIS IS AMAZING, I've never been this excited to start drawing boxes before lol
This is easily one of the best art tutorials I've ever seen. So much information thickly condensed, not a second going to waste.
beautiful and engaging presentation, you've made a complex and dull subject much more digestible, the real life examples and the see-through box especially helped
Thanks for taking the time to make this! I was literally on 144 boxes and feeling a bit fed up/not really getting it. Really useful grounding it in real life objects and seeing the 3D grid.

I'm very lucky to have watched this video before I did the 250 box drawing challenge. This is a really great video. Thank you for that.❤
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
I stumbled upon this video before starting my 250 box challenge and was pleasantly surprised to find a John Wilson fan :)
Thank you for making this!
I have watched several "box drawing" videos. I find this one to be especially helpful. You have clarified several things and answered questions that I didn't know I had. It looks like it was a lot of work to make. Thank you for making it. You rock!!!
As a maths and art enthusiast, your video is a literal GEM to me
I rlly can't thank u enough for making it happen 🙏💛

i cant stop seeing boxes everywhere when i step outside now. 10/10
Hahah love it. 10/10 comment
This video was SO helpful! I'm currently doing the Drawabox challenge and it just wasn't clicking in my head for some of them but this video really helped me visualize the boxes better.
Well isn't this just a gem of a video, thanks for the effort big dog

The challenge should have been the 256 box challenge. A perfect square!!

epic material - thank you for putting so much effort into this! 🎉
beautiful video. didn't realise how much i'm missing out on the knowledge of boxes. gonna be a box pro now :))
This video has done the best job in explaining and helping me understand perspective. I'm still pretty lost on somethings, but this definitely helped a ton. Thank you very much! 🙏🏽
Aww glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words!
This was extremely helpful, especially because of your honest take on your personal journey in learning, it allowed me to connect to yours explanation in an emotional way WHICH also was helpful I am sure
thanks for this, it made me understand perspective easier!!!
Gosh i wish i had this when i was learning perspective. Very good video would recommend this to other people
Thank you for this video! I'm going to use it to reference it for drawing boxes and I hope I am able to improve in my drawing ability!
omg thank you so much for this , i'm currently doing the 250 box challenge and your explanation is really helpfull especially when you showed exemples from real life ,
Great to hear! :)
I didn’t think I’d need help drawing boxes, but this is a lifesaver, thank you
Glad to hear it :)
THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO (input infinite sos here) MUCH. This helped so much, and it made drawing boxes less borning.
I have been struggling with understanding perspective for a while now and this is by far the most concise and easy to understand explanation i have seen. Thank you for this, i will be sure to check out the rest of the videos on your channel. Keep up the good work!
Hey thanks so much! I'm working on making new videos soon 😊
Thank you for this amazing video. It gives the vibe of a very inspired person and you're enlightening us as well
This is a very amazing video and I hope you never stop making art.
Also I can tell a lot work went into this and it is much appreciated.
Brilliant video! It would be helpful even without the 250 box challenge, but that's how found it. Not sure whether I'll do them all, but I feel I have now a better understanding of perspective and how it changes with the positions of viewer and object.
Very creative and easy to understand
Thank you for this video. I now know i can check angles when drawing boxes ..ill come back to study this periodically!!
thank you so much dude this is honestly the best video i came across, since ive been struggling to wrap my head around drawing 3d shapes for so long!
Glad the video helped :D
'How to with John Wilson' meets an art tutorial. Great work
Thank you. I feel like this gives direction to the challenge vs just drawing all those boxes aimlessly. This was so helpful and motivating.
Ah perfect! That's exactly what I was aiming for 😄 Good luck in your art learning!
Thanks for this Kate. I feel stupid for not breaking down drawing simple boxes into simple concepts. Just been ramming my pencil head into paper hoping for something to intuitively click.

This video has great observations that will help others that may not figure that on themselves. Congratulations on this
great resource you have created.
Loved your explanation ❤
Perfect explanation, thanks!
One thing I find hard to understand is how vanishing points move when the box moves to a corner facing position.
This was great! I’ve been banging my head against the of rotating boxes, and your explanations are so clear. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best explainations out there. Thank you so much
I can see you put a lot of effort into this video.Thanks for sharing the info
Thank you so much for this!! Super helpful, and really well explained! Thinking about boxes like this made it a lot easier for me to draw them!
Holy shit, this video blew me up in quality content!!! Great Job
this is so helpful thank you!
Thank you for a clear explanation - I had trouble since my geometry classes - my cubes were terrible. Now I can draw my 250 boxes with more comfidence=)
So glad to hear! Thank you for the comment 😊

I am writing just to thank you for how much the video has helped me.
Aww, glad it helped! :)
Thank you soo much for this!! It’s so simple and concise and with a lot of visual aid, it was exactly what i was looking for to lay down my foundation of perspective
Very educative and well explained video. It really clicked multiple times and i feel much more confident now drawing boxes! Thank you
Thanks DSamurai! Glad to hear it ☺
Thought the boxes were a lost battle, thank you so much for giving us hope again.
Hahaha I appreciate the battle metaphor, glad the video helped 😊
A masterpiece of a video. This was conveyed phenomenally well
Excellent Video. I am a Spanish speaker, and I didn´t find videos in Spanish and this video is so useful!!!
Thank you!

Thanks very helpful
I'm not sure if this was an influence or not, but the use of street footage reminds me of How To With John Wilson. Fantastic video btw!
Hahah yea this vid was definitely largely inspired by How to With John Wilson 😉 Thanks for the comment and view! 😊
I was looking for a video like this, thank you!
Glad you found it 😊

Wow, amazing and simple explanation!💯
Thank you!
Very nice ❤
Thank you :)
Ooh I didn't even know about Radiorunner's Curriculum! Nice to have an alternative to that older curriculum made by that one sex criminal…
