    One point and two point perspective is very useful, whereas three point perspective in not commonly used for general drawing. Unless you are doing some serious cityscape drawings.
    ►Learn how to draw with pencils with my step by step drawing tutorials. Let me show you how to draw anything from beginning to the end. For some subject like drawing animals, blocking in the basic shapes first is useful. For portrait drawings, starting with the eye is my preferred method of drawing. But whatever the subject matter or method, I will always show you the easiest and most effective way to draw.

    Tysm I wouldn't consider myself a "beginner" but I haven't practised any perspective yet, just characters and I think that's a mistake. This was super helpful and you explained everything so well. I had an art Block, my faces started looking wobbly and non-accurate, but I think it's because my lack of motivation on drawing. I tried perspective too, but this tutorial saved me from that hole. I will set on some alarms because I think consistant drawing is very important! You got a new sub man you are great😁

    You can use thump tacs and string to get perfect lines without the perspective grid. For 2 point just tie a string to each tac and stic each tac in a vanishig point...the you can pull the string in the center to wherever you want a corner or line and youll have a perfectly aimed straight line for every single line you make. Its pretty simple and rad and stops all the grid scratches and erasing. Have fun

    I do follow the vanishing points; however, I don't do the perspective grid. I draw on a large enough area to put a piece of tape or a drafting dot where the vanishing point are and use a long ruler to do more complex perspective. One thing in this video that I find in three point perspective that your audience may find they may do, is worms eye view where the third vanishing point is above the horizon line. Otherwise good video!

    horizon perspective drawing but what i want to improve on is complex
    curved shapes overlapping shapes and the like. a good example would be
    anything standing at a 45 degree angle. For example i can draw the front
    of a horse i can draw the side of a horse but HOW DO I DRAW ANYTHING IN
    BETWEEN WITHOUT DISTORTING FEATURES AND USING PROPER PERSPECTIVE

    Good refresher, but now with a little more of an experienced eye, theoretically, you should be able to create a "stalactite" with the three point perspective, following the lines upward, right? And, how about other shapes created with the three or two point perspective, like a pyramid, sphere, or cylinder?

    This is better way of showing simple perspective. One told me on FB after I shared my very rough sketch with perspective and told me that not how you do it and not the right thing to evaluate how much it could cost. He didn't know what's behind it. The sadness behind it. I drew that not to show perspective. A simple draft of a tiny condo looking unit. That is for myself and for fun I shared it too. Yes, things now are far expensive that I thought!

    Great tutorials! I see that perspective is very important for 3D and dynamic effect in drawing. Also I like your tutorials for artistic anatomy studies. It helps me very much.
