My art teacher silently handed me a sticky note that just said “David finch on UA-cam, lots of good lessons” so here I am
That is awesome! You now have 2 awesome art teachers!
Ye that’s a cool art teacher
Anyway do you like jojo's?

I havent watched the jojos
But I want to flick a revolver barrel
@@reallyoriginalusername4574 got a revolver here but no bullets
And these things are free, how privileged we are .
Shhhhhh lol
True that!
Hey don’t give him any ideas lol
Yup its insane how helpful this is
I was thinking the same thing. I use to draw in my teens (mainly copied) and stopped in my 20s...I started back up, last year (I'm 33 now) and I've grown so much because of youtube and I've branched out to multiple medias...love these free "classes"
It makes me smile that you're eyeballing things instead of using all these crazy measuring tricks like in Scott Robertson's book. I used to overthink perspective so damn much when I first started, now it's a lot more intuitive and I can tell when proportions are off just from practicing
i just love art. funny thing art doesnt love me back... can you critique my art. i just need an expert opinion to improve my art
Its called perspective and is essential to learn bro.
ua-cam.com/video/LeqeZfCFeOs/v-deo.html
Studying perspective still helps you eyeball things though, so don’t neglect it. The more you study perspective, the more you will internalize it, which in turn helps you more easily and accurately eyeball something. At least it was for me, I’m nowhere near professional but when I first started drawing, I always tried to eyeball things thinking this is art and I shouldn’t need to measure things, my perspective was very off almost all of the time. After I started to study perspective, my eyebally drawings started to improve too.
I think it is good to know how to do both, Scott also works with vehicles and design, and perpective is a must have, 'you have a bit of lee way in comics, if it looks good, that's good enough
Curious tip: Minecraf in a non-ironic way will make you a god at drawing squares
TBH, absolutely yes. Also the easiest ways to learn perspective.
And pixel art
funny aint it i tried so hard and never got so,, in the end i never improve. its like doing weights and never gaining. its like i work twice as hard as anyone. but its for not. i need a pros judgement/critique on my art vid..
@@pogz1 instead of posting 'your' art online, just practice until you're good enough to post it

Dude! No way! David Finch on UA-cam! Man, I'm a huge fan! I LOVE your work and spent hundreds of bucks buying every trade paperback and comic issue you've done! Love your work on the Justice League! Huge fan, man! All the best!

I swear to God the first five minutes of your video have been more helpful than literally any self study I have done😂
Hi, amazing tutorial! Although I am not a professional by any means, I would want to point out a few mathematical errors in perspective in case they would help anyone. Of course, as you said, measuring is generally overtaken by good intuition and you have good intuition.
1) At 3:00 , you rotated a box and said the vanishing points should move an equal length from their current vanishing points. However, in this case, the left vanishing point would move faster from its current vanishing point than the right vanishing point. For example, if you think of rotating this box towards an angle that directly faces us, one vanishing point would go towards the center of the page, and the other vanishing point would move to a point infinitely far away.
2) At 6:40 , you showed how to replicate a box using its diagonal. However, I think it should be noted that since these boxes' diagonals are parallel, they would converge on a new vanishing point (in perspective, all parallel lines not directly facing us would). The vanishing point here should lie on a vanishing trace (a vertical vanishing point) directly under the right vanishing point (not on the horizon). The standard method to do this would be to draw a line from one corner of the box to the midpoint of the opposite edge and extend it to the bottom/top edge of your new box. The lines will meet at the far edge of your new, identical box. (sorry, explaining is hard without diagrams)
Once again, these ideas matter less for someone with great intuition and practice, but I still thought I'd share this information with anyone interested!
ua-cam.com/video/0oYubp7sDvA/v-deo.html
Is there any videos that cover what ur trying to explain? Im having a hard time trying to picture it in my head.. I dont dislike going on going off intuition, but I want a more concrete foundation with accuracy and consistency, if anything I would love to know all the math behind perspective to draw anything 100% proportionate to the perspective
@@lynkkxprojective geometry is the mathematical Topic that studies perspective and vanishing points.
The vanishing point represents a point in infinity and How paralel lines must meet somewhere at infinity
Of all the comics artists, I like you the most! You are like a stepping stone to success in my life for me, my goal is not strange to draw comics and arts, and you help me a lot in this! I am grateful to you that you teach us to draw as incredible as you!
drawing always has been a passion of my mine. and art just doesnt really love me back. even so. i work hard practice day and day out. however my art never improves.. can you critique my art pls i just need a pros point of view
@@pogz1 I started drawing characters about 3 years ago and practiced daily. Even a year will not be enough to learn to draw from scratch. In order to learn how to draw, you need to: 1. Be interested in drawing
2. Have inspiration
3. To study human inatomy, proportions and academic drawing in general.
4. Look closely at how other artists draw and take something from them for yourself.
5. (Not necessary, but it helps me) Listen to your favorite music while drawing.
If you are interested in how I draw, then here is my instagram: instagram.com/daxamcomics/

3 years later but I still wanna say thank you! This greatly helped me improve on my perspective!
I love how you don't need a ruler to constantly draw, a real artist can eyeball it and use their skill to overcome those challenges.
Double tutorial, we get foreshortening & Perspective! 😊your one of the best, thanx Dave!🔥
ua-cam.com/video/LeqeZfCFeOs/v-deo.html
i worshipped your art work as a kid since you first started at IMAGE back in the 199s :)
Been an artist for over 15 years and never did I know about these helpful tips!!
From my experience thus far, perspective has made anatomy even easier. Spent the first few months mostly drawing cylinders & cubes. Went to draw faceless dudes & it's going smoothly.
ua-cam.com/video/0oYubp7sDvA/v-deo.html
Mr. Flinch, thank you so much for shared with us your experience for free, it's really useful and helped a lot!
Thank you Dave. This is much easier to understand in video form.
man watching you draw so confidently gives me confidence while drawing
You are drawing magically!! It's real pleasure to see how you are working!! Miracle touch!!
I’ve seen only 2 videos by you and already I have progressed way more than anything else I watched, you completely fixed my posing issue and this perspective thing is next on my hit list so thank you so much.
I followed your video today while sketching and it definitely help me understand the depth and thickness of what’s closer or farther with foreshortening. Especially when I ink or pencil think and thin lines.
Thank you for the help, forshortening in a dynamic way has always been a struggle for me and it is awesome to learn from someone I have looked up to for 2 decades. I have loved your Art since Aphrodite IX I am so glad you have a UA-cam channel that I can follow and learn from.
this guy is one of the only people who to me, teaches more "mindset" than "this is the method you should do!" kind of stuff that genuinely gets you nowhere, thanks david, you're an actual good teacher, you breakdown and talk about why you do something and what & what not to do, all kinds of stuff that i can take and apply to my own way of doing things without having to base it off of the way you draw and restricting myself to someone else's way of drawing or art style, awesome videos hope you keep finding new ways to teach us things, thanks again, crazy that you do so much of this for free
Wow! That parallel diagonal trick to estimate lengths in perspective is a game changer! I never had a way of doing that!
I've only watched like 3 of your vids and I'm already In love with the way you teach. Amazing art, this helps a ton
YES! Thanks so much for this video David, it’s exactly what I, and probably most others, needed at this time. Can’t wait to delve in and soak up all the information!

This was fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your craft.
Unbelievable. That pythagorean trick is mindblowing for me, I've been trying to intuitively understand foreshortening to no avail, this reference gives such a great baseline where I had none before. Thanks a million man.
Edit: I really cannot believe this. A 25 minute video demystified a concept I've been struggling with for a decade. Floored.
Dude I’ve truly never seen someone make perspective & foreshortening so simple & easy to fully comprehend, & non complicated! Most others get into so much mathematics & endless structuring, lots of complicated complexities, etc etc.. literally almost every other video I’ve seen makes it far more complex than it needs to be, & makes it kind of confusing in doing it that way.. you did the opposite! You did it exactly how I resonate with it the most & seemingly already understand it, but even simpler for me to comprehend parts that I’ve been getting tripped up on and frustrated with not being able to get down correctly. So thank you so damn much! Lol.. you have made this so easy to get all fundamental aspects of when it comes to this concept & area of art structure. You are genuinely such a good teacher with this stuff. I can’t begin to express my gratitude & appreciation for your videos like this, for parts of art/drawing (as an amateur manga artist) that I’ve been getting tripped up on. You are my go to guy! You’ve already helped me get past so many frustrating hurdles, it’s more of a help than you’d know lol. Thanks again my man👌🏻✌🏻
Really I found a great teacher who follows actual process to draw the figures. I am his disciple. Honestly I am becoming great fan.
OMG no one in my art classes expained perspective like this! Loved it.
I just spent an hour watching your videos and they really helped me understand more about drawing.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Peace.
I just feel so blessed for having access to such an amazing material like that, and for free! thank you for sharing your knowledge with us

Mr. Finch I think the computation is just the top view radius of the circle. Just like the door you drew in the beginning. Awesome video.
This cleared literally everything for me, wow
Wow. Very well taught. I never considered overlapping shapes, in order to create perspective. Thanks!
Ohmygod..."connection points" literally just changed the way I view perspective drawing. I'm literally - LITERALLY - looking at a piece and can see multiple conection points I need to reverse.

Masterfully explained! The best explanation on foreshortening I have ever seen.
you're the treasure i've been looking for, for ages.. a HUGE thank you.. a big fan already.. please don't stop posting videos such invaluable such as these..
Wow. That diagonal line trick is awesome! I’m totally gonna be using that to check my foreshortening. One thing I was struggling with recently was a finger pointing straight ahead, and it was driving me mad trying to get it to look right. This video is super helpful.
ua-cam.com/video/0oYubp7sDvA/v-deo.html
40+ years old. Drawing since 8. Never really grasped perspective until this video. Thanks for explaining why you did different things. The objects perspective changes as them move = GOLD. Thanks for this great video sir.
ua-cam.com/video/0oYubp7sDvA/v-deo.html
I’ve been drawing for 20 years. This helped tremendously
The parallel diagonals "trick" is a shortcut to using crossed diagonals with midpoint for figuring out the recession in space of planes of equal distances ( e.g. distance between telephone poles). Surprise. It works well enough. After talking the long road to learning mechanical drawing that I never use, you showed me some cheats that I like and can use.
You know what has made me curious lately. How the face foreshortens as it turns. I had never considered it before but it definately does. Also a dip of chin and forehead to show aggression does, and the closer to the camera the more extreme this is. And it can be used to show "immediacy". I was using foreshortening the other day to show a hand was in motion or reaching out. I'm sure its powerful in fight scenes too. Its a great tool so thanks for this vid and making it clearer how to foreshorten in an efficient way :) Much appreciated
This is by far one of the best tutorials on I've seen on foreshortening. Thanks for sharing this!
ua-cam.com/video/0oYubp7sDvA/v-deo.html
14:00 such little detail can change the whole perspective. So helpful. He’s a master
Feel like this video came at the right time! I've been trying to apply foreshortening to my drawing experimenting with a similar way, now seeing this video I know how to do it properly!
Thank you David!! Really help me, will practice!!!

this is amazing for me, very simple follow-along
really very good explained, makes fun to try it out.
Excellent work, would love to be able to draw figures this effortlessly.... One thing to note is that those diagonals would not be parallel but would go to their own VP on the horizon.

One way to do this mathematically is by measuring the proportions with cubes. Because all sides are equal and they have corners.
So, for example, suppose that the size of the forearm is 2 cubes. Then, you draw two cubes in perspective, and draw the forearm inside the box.
You can go even further by rotating the cube, which is more complicated than just doing it in any angle.
But it's basically the same idea.
