Genuinely can't believe the number of times I've seen advice to draw boxes but no one ever mentioned they should be in perspective not perfectly parallel 😩
Drew a flying dove a year ago and the one drawn inside a box came out better??? Really got my brain thinking 3D... But this put words to it in simple language. Magical!
Once she mentioned the no parallel, I instantly knew why I've fuckup so badly with boxes and perspective. All those perspective videos on how to rotate boxes/ everything just started clicking. Now we just need that head construction video because all these videos on the Andrew Loomis method I didn't understand it until I started learning about drawing boxes. But not now. I have this video Definitely going to grind.
@@UnTalCoto Personally get a bunch of cheap mechanical pencils, and a nice sketchbook spiral bound. You don’t need nothing expensive I personally draw on copy paper. Digitally I draw on the iPad.
I’m a bit confused. This video tells me to draw the cube with intersecting lines, but other advice online is saying to draw the lines parallel. Is it just dependent on the perspective?
@@foppypoof5195 It does depend on the perspective. When you’re drawing one point perspective only four sets of lines are intercepting same for two point perspective but with two-point perspective, you have eight lines that are intersecting. The only time all your lines are intersecting is when you’re drawing three-point perspective. Because now you have three vanishing points.
@@foppypoof5195 and I’m not saying that all eight lines are going to one point. Each sets of four are going to their own vanishing point for two point perspective you only have two points, so four goes to one point and the other four goes to another point same for three-point perspective.
After more than 20 years, I can FINALLY understand why my boxes never look good no matter how much I tried to make them right. I got so good at drawing straight lines and yet they never felt like a box. Now I understand, I was not considering perspective. Thanks Pikat, you will probably think this is an exaggeration but I am certain that if this video was a little bit older, I probably would be 400x times better than I am currently. I’m feeling like a little kid that just got a new toy, I’ve been filling pages with boxes and I am having a lot of fun. Every time I do a college presentation I always pratice my presentation like everyone who will listen to me is complete oblivious to the subject, not that I underestimate their knowledge, never, my friends are really smart, I just want to make sure everyone gets out there fully understanding what I have to say to make it both enjoyable and fun. It always works, I never got less than the best grade possible in presentations, I really enjoy doing them and I put a lot of love in it. Your video felt like this to me. I had fun while learning something I am completely stupid about, art. I fully understood what I needed to do and didn’t feel boring to watch it because it sounded so fun and I felt this weird of feeling of “I GOTTA DRAW A LOT OF BOXES”, something I dont think I’ll ever feel again. Thanks for that!! I don’t watch a lot of UA-cam nowadays so I can’t promise I’ll always leave a like but be sure that every time I draw a Box and a Cilinder, figures in general, I’ll remember you. Best of luck with your channel 📦📦📦
I love this comment. It reads like a life changing experience but shit is about boxes. The absolute art experience. I hope in the 2 months since you wrote this you've drawn countless perspective boxes, each better than the precious one.
@@buira9482 I am really slow at learning art, it’s much more a fun hobby than anything else to me as I am not aiming to be pretty good or a pro artist one day. Despite the slowness, it is getting somewhere, I am drawing a lot of boxes, filling pages as I try to learn and get better and I feel like I am doing much better as time passes. One day when I feel that I finally got really good at it I will post a link with results, may take a year or years, who knows, but it will happen! Until then, see you there!!
Wait this video might've changed my life. I know construction is one of the fundamentals of art but (maybe it's because I can't imagine things in 3D) I've always had such a hard time with it and kind of put it to the side. Which makes drawing bodied so much more difficult. But you actually explained it so well I might finally be able start learning construction!!
Yeah also recommend shading them by crosshatching (references are always helpful for that). That will help understand shadow and light better. Also recommend for that to draw spheres
Fantastic video, every time an artist says "draw cubes" I ignored it because i just assumed i was doing it correctly. Knowing why and more importantly how to draw the boxes in perspective is expanding my mind. I'm finally understanding why my art usually looks so flat even though i thought i had the fundamentals down. If anyone very asks me for a good video to get started in drawing, this is going to me go-to reference.
I remember in 8th grade we were also taught perspective and how to draw boxes, except they told us to make all lines parallel 😭 It all looked so stiff and unrealistic, now I know why
This just blew my mind, I sincerely appreciate this. At first I was looking at this with some arrogance, but soon to realize, I have so much more to learn than I previously have thought so. Thank you so very much for helping me figuring that out. I’ll be sure to make this, a daily habit. Have a wonderful day.
0:19 Why did nobody tell me thiissssss I really appreciate your videos because they feel like they have... actual advice to them? No shade to other art tutorial channels but with a lot of them their message boils down to "put in the work and you'll get better" and while that's true to an extent, you need to know what your weaknesses are and how to overcome them. A lot of them just gloss over that because they either never struggled with that part of it or can't articulate it well. The amount of times I've tried to practice drawing and was stuck looking at my bad art going "what am I doing wrong?!?! *I don't know what I'm doing wrong*" is too many to count, and now I can feel vindicated that it's not just me and most people are just really bad at teaching complete beginners LOL
I've been drawing for eight years of my life myself (with an actual teacher), and I 100% understand your feeling, art is mostly about practicing, but I feel like we hold practice as so sacred that we kind of forget that art also has a lot of fundamental theorical concepts we have to teach to make sure we don't lead beginners in the wrong direction, and when we forget about teaching them, practice can be actually very suboptimal. And given how much practice art requires, you don't want it to be suboptimal. Also, I would argue that many people who have specialized themselves in any given field (not just art) way too often forget about the fundamentals because it's so engrained deeply in their everyday mind that they came to the point they completely forget about teaching these to new people in their field, even simply teaching in itself is a skill not everyone has.
Love that she included checking how close the lines come to converging! A lot of tutorials don't mention a way to "check your work." That makes it a lot harder to figure out what/if you're doing it wrong. So thanks Pikat!
this is probaby first time im writing a comment on youtube ( thats how rare i do lol) so i wanna say this is almost the best video of teching art i ever watched. it fixed my magor problem that i didnt even noticed i had. you are the best im so grateful
You can actually use isometric when the perspective isn't powerful because the difference with vanishing point perspective won't be that noticeable... So basically all you gotta keep in mind is how strong the perspective is. If it's just a very basic 3 point perspective then you can go for isometric, nobody will ever notice loll... And plus, Isometric is a style on its own. A lot of games specially pixel art games use this style for cozy stuff.. A bit like animal crossing when you enter a villager's house. So don't just forbid yourself from using parallel lines cubes, but just understand when and how to use them :)
also especially when your designing more formal sketches of like product design and stuff I think isometric is a good idea. And the sides are going to be parallel
Just for trivia: when all the lines are parallels, it's called an isometric perspective (or isometric view), it's technically not 'incorrect', but it's mostly used in the engineering and industrial field for technical drawings and blueprints for the reason that it makes every dimension (sides's lenghts, widths, etcetera) appears the same no matter how far they are, so it's easier to see the exact dimensions a given manufactured item is supposed to have. However, from a visually realistic (or at least believable) point of view, isometric perspective is not how we actually perceive world and objects around us with our eyes, three points perspective is, so we reproduce the way we see the world with the use of vanishing points.
I love your videos so far, I feel a lot people say the same things and in their heads they know why to do something, but they dont explain to newer people why you should, your video answered to my why drawing boxes is important to learn to do, it goes into so many more things i never thought about before, so thank you
I just found your video, it's very useful! I am almost a 28 y.o. man who want to draw to have money and fun, and I often face the problem when I sit next to blank paper for hours and can't draw what I want. I always underestimated drawing primitives because I thought I am fine with perspective, but I never thought that I need it to make connection between hand and mind to make it easier to imagine volumes and build my drawing easily! Also, your avatar is very creative! That style of pixel-art in 3D looks very adorable! I wish to see it in the game one time :) And I love your voice. It's very soothing and attractive. Thank you and greetings from Russia!
Learned how vanishing points work in this video, i always made perspective by imagining the object in the position i want in my head, and if its too hard i look for reference like similar angles and such, if i cant find it or bother to look for it, i just try doing the pose myself, either way i doubt im gonna use those points
You just took so much pressure off me!!😂 plus, you "showed" me how 2 pt perspective is kind of , always 3 pt. Off to draw boxes without my frig.. ruler!!!
Wow. This really helped me. Like a whole lot. That's like a whole new way to look at it. It like clicked. I legit paused at 2:03, and started drawing boxes. You just totally flipped my brain inside my skull here, like an omelette. I didn't think 2 minutes of my life would completely tear open a new crevasse for my mind's eye to see from. Thank you, truly and sincerely, for your insight. This has zero sarcasm, the right side of my head radiated with pain trying to convey how useful this information was. Thank you (a second time).
"N point" perspective is a lie. Each set of parallel lines converges to a different point, so there are infinitely many perspective points. And placing them shouldn't be arbitrary either
I really like this video because it simplifies A LOT of over complicated things in my mind. Like when I first learned perspective a bit through draw a box, I was like "this is super complicated, how am I going to applu all that without taking 1 week per drawing and killing myself at the end?" but you simplied it and the concept of perspective grid by telling that you don't need to use them to be a great artiste, you just need to fake it good enough through basic principles of perspective. Which is AWESOME and save me a lot of pain. The only thing I would have wanted would be more examples of how we use that in real examples (aka real drawings) because in your toilet example, I do'nt really feel like the convergeance to vanishing points really change anything? But that said, this video really reassured me because I was scared that by not doing perfect perspective (aka not using perspective grid or not putting so much effort into it) I was doing it WRONG. But you proved me that no, no actual artist use perfect perspective they just fake it through little tricks just like I do! so yeah, thank you for that haha!
This changed everything, as soon as you said this all of a sudden all my boxes looked wrong. Then I spent like 3 hours trying to make a box. Woke up the next day, traced an actual box, then and only then I could recreate boxes pretty damn well on my own. I just had to trace it and see it with my eyeballs.
first minute of the video and i already learned something that i havent been thinking about for my entire life🙏🙏🙏 ive watched thousands of art vids and i never learned this. thank u so much
4:28 I'm almost 28 and this is the first time i've seen someone explain properly how the vanishing points work. Every Art teacher so far was just like 'think of where the horizonline is and where your eyes are looking' I'm starting to suspecr that they didn't know themselves
I'm sorry but literally many simple YT videos before this one which go much more into detail about perspective were available on YT, why didn't you check those out?
@@CarNerd7 I've never said that I was actively trying to learn this. I was just giving a story about my old art teachers. Who are teachers, but were still not able to explain this. But a random UA-camr on my timeline can. I was making a conparison
WAIT OH MY GOD THIS CLARIFIES EVERYTHING. People are like “think in perspective” and “there are vanishing points” and then whip out the grid thing and I still don’t get it. And NOW IT MAKES SENSE!
2:04 I am reminded of the first art lesson in high school. all we did was understanding vanishing points and drawing boxes with 2 and 3 vanishing points
The notion about not drawing pararellel lines with boxes helped significantly. and seeing Krenz cusharts' rotated front side for boxes helped me realize i had a fixed positioned front side for my box drawing. .
Hi pikat, I really love your art vids and posts;;;; You've inspired me to a lot as a beginner artist. Can you please do a vid talking about your art journey in the future? Hope you have a great day!
ive been practicing art for a few weeks now after finally having the courage to learn. this. this rn taught me why my art felt so off. I love I'm finally understanding this
Keep in mind, if you’re doing isometric then make ‘em all parallel. In true perspective, if the horizon is at eye level, then not all edges of a box will converge. There’ll only be 1 or 2 vanishing points. The third vanishing point comes into existence when the horizon is no longer at eye level or if the camera is titled up or down. So in other words, the edges of a box don’t all need to converge, this is only true in 3 point perspective or higher. My way of thinking of it is the factor that determines all of this is camera(the viewer) position and orientation in relation to the horizon line.
Ive been taught in design class kind of the same thing, but in isometric, which means the sides are parallel. When I tried to apply it to different viewing angles, my boxes always looked weird, but omg this video saved me so much
I'm like a week in to my first serious attempt to learn how to draw and I had been wondering why my perspective had been looking pretty wacky. Thanks for pointing this out.
I recently started Drawabox, and while their lessons are great, this video REALLY helped me understand why we want to, y'know, draw lots of boxes and why that helps with learning intuitive perspective. Thanks!
Oh... oh no. Well maybe oh yes? I'm just now starting my art journey and never knew this. I spent yesterday's free time drawing boxes wrong... I literally critiqued one of them that the lines WEREN'T parallel. Thank you for the video... I would have drawn a whole lot more boxes wrong without this. But now I can correct early!
This is the stuff we learned at school actually starting off. Don't know why I haven't seen many tutorials outside of this one explain these fundamentals
Back in May to August 2022 I would draw boxes like in the beginning of the video because I didn't know better. I learned about perspective and I'm glad this video appeared so I could see how far I've come in my drawing journey.
genuinely just had something click in my head due to this - i've been trying for ages to try and use boxes to draw bodies correctly but ive never had it work until watching this video lmao
I am doing two things while watching this video: practicing my English, because I am learning the language, and improving my drawing skills. Normally, I feel uncomfortable and dumb, but actually, this video kept me entertained in both aspects. And this's hard
Genuinely can't believe the number of times I've seen advice to draw boxes but no one ever mentioned they should be in perspective not perfectly parallel 😩
Perspective is most important ❤
Drew a flying dove a year ago and the one drawn inside a box came out better??? Really got my brain thinking 3D... But this put words to it in simple language. Magical!
Yeah😭
did you not look at a box first?
Learnt something new, and I feel soo dumb for not understanding this before...

Now we just need that head construction video because all these videos on the Andrew Loomis method I didn't understand it until I started learning about drawing boxes. But not now.

A painful learning point for an artist is that you aren’t drawing in 2D.
This is the stage I’m currently stuck on

I was going to say that it's not "wrong" but more isometric - a style that intentionally cares little about perspective.
frankly I think the best art advice that one could ever give is "be intentional"
also especially when your designing more formal sketches of like product design and stuff I think isometric is a good idea. And the sides are going to be parallel

One point perspective for long roads.

"N point" perspective is a lie.
Each set of parallel lines converges to a different point, so there are infinitely many perspective points. And placing them shouldn't be arbitrary either

The notion about not drawing pararellel lines with boxes helped significantly. and seeing Krenz cusharts' rotated front side for boxes helped me realize i had a fixed positioned front side for my box drawing. .
Every time I watch this I learn something new.
Hi pikat, I really love your art vids and posts;;;; You've inspired me to a lot as a beginner artist.
Can you please do a vid talking about your art journey in the future? Hope you have a great day!
Using a box as a measurement for proportion is really cool. Nobody taught me this before !
thank gosh, I just found out I can draw proper boxes
I never felt mentally retreated until i tried drawing a box
ive been practicing art for a few weeks now after finally having the courage to learn. this. this rn taught me why my art felt so off. I love I'm finally understanding this
Thank you now I know what vanishing point is and how to use it while drawing boxes.😊
as soon as you mentioned "converge" it was like a eureka moment lol
I really enjoyed your tutorial, I like your voice, your editing and your avatar I also learned a lot, thanks
I have been drawing boxes as my default doodle for a while, and i think it has helped me understand perpective better. :)
"I live to make bad decisions" should become merch
" Feel " the vanishing point ( before it "vanishes")
Keep in mind, if you’re doing isometric then make ‘em all parallel.
In true perspective, if the horizon is at eye level, then not all edges of a box will converge. There’ll only be 1 or 2 vanishing points. The third vanishing point comes into existence when the horizon is no longer at eye level or if the camera is titled up or down. So in other words, the edges of a box don’t all need to converge, this is only true in 3 point perspective or higher.
My way of thinking of it is the factor that determines all of this is camera(the viewer) position and orientation in relation to the horizon line.
your eyes become the 3rd vanishing point 👀
@@Irate_Beau huh? Is this a joke? 😂
I'm very new to drawing with any real intention, and the perspective lines look like they'll be a useful tool for a project I want to start. 😮
I just learned that I have been drawing boxes wrong. But it makes everything make sense now!
Ive been taught in design class kind of the same thing, but in isometric, which means the sides are parallel. When I tried to apply it to different viewing angles, my boxes always looked weird, but omg this video saved me so much
I'm like a week in to my first serious attempt to learn how to draw and I had been wondering why my perspective had been looking pretty wacky. Thanks for pointing this out.
I taught myself to draw boxes by making sure the lines WERE parallel, fool that I am 😭
I like how are you editing this videosss, im also a box lover hehe
Joke's on you, Drawabox made already made me draw boxes for multiple months straight
I recently started Drawabox, and while their lessons are great, this video REALLY helped me understand why we want to, y'know, draw lots of boxes and why that helps with learning intuitive perspective. Thanks!
Oh... oh no. Well maybe oh yes? I'm just now starting my art journey and never knew this. I spent yesterday's free time drawing boxes wrong... I literally critiqued one of them that the lines WEREN'T parallel.
Thank you for the video... I would have drawn a whole lot more boxes wrong without this. But now I can correct early!
Holy shit, this made me realise I've drawing boxes wrong my whole life
Thanks a lot, I will procede to go cry in a corner
Pikat, your tips were so helpful.
Finally, my dumbself got to understand perspective got to apply it!
You keep doing great work!
You're amazing! 😊
Loving the videos!
Instructions unclear. I have been boxed.
But more seriously: thanks for making this video. I'm just getting started! 😊
Idk why but I keep starring at your pixel character model, I like its animations a lot. Good edits btw
VERYYYYYY HELPFUL
Since new year I've been trying to improve on my perspective, I'm getting there
My art teacher actually taught us perspective, so thats something im grateful for
make more videos on how to apply this lesson!! I can't stop drawing (good) boxes but I'm not sure how to use them efficiently
DAMMIT! I'VE BEEN TRYING SO HARD TO MAKE PARALLEL LINES FOR BOXES 😭😭
I really like the pixel avatar setup combined with the pixel hand cursor
this video saved me I was having a meltdown drawing boxes 😭😭
ahhhh thank you so much, ive been struggling with this a lot, your video taught me a lot, bout to go practice right now!!!
Actually this a very new (for me) viewpoint you have about faking the perspective and why draw boxes :D so thank you :)
miku standing there like she got force to be in this video
I learnt more in the first 2 mins than I have in the past 4 years of wanting to learn to draw
you cleared up a lot of questions with this video.
This is the stuff we learned at school actually starting off. Don't know why I haven't seen many tutorials outside of this one explain these fundamentals
chat member talel39 at 5:46 youre actually goated minecraft is such a good reference for this
2:50 realest point ever
(pun intended)
You’ve convinced me… I’ll go draw boxes.
Back in May to August 2022 I would draw boxes like in the beginning of the video because I didn't know better. I learned about perspective and I'm glad this video appeared so I could see how far I've come in my drawing journey.
This is basically what i learned during my engineering course on technical drawings
Nice to see Pikat decided to make a UA-cam.
Love your videos and meme too, nobody advice me to draw a BOX in vanishing point
Drawing boxes always seemed easy to me with my art program, thanks to the line tool
The cylinder section was very informative. Now to get back to drawing giant weights.
genuinely just had something click in my head due to this - i've been trying for ages to try and use boxes to draw bodies correctly but ive never had it work until watching this video lmao
This is amazing!
I am doing two things while watching this video: practicing my English, because I am learning the language, and improving my drawing skills. Normally, I feel uncomfortable and dumb, but actually, this video kept me entertained in both aspects. And this's hard
