      Learn how to draw a boxes in perspective. Then learn how to construct body in boxes. Fuse these two things and train it for a time and then, I think, will know how to construct body in extreme perspective acording to the boxes. Keep up, have fun!

      @@taylan1039 Mostly I think. But don't forget to learn smartly. I mean don't just copy reference pictures when training. I think experience and knowlwedge goes hand in hand. So if you know how body looks like (a bit anatomy definetely) and how pespective works, you can try your own aproach. If ou want to be sure, find 3D human models and trace it. But you know - what works me may not work for you. Good luck!

  • @frankhernandez133
    @frankhernandez133 5 років тому +45

    Using geometric shapes to set the contour lines of the body along with lines for the stick-figure, do you have suggestions on how to use the cross-contour lines to define & maintain the proportions of the body while drawing in perspective? As this video defines foreshortening, would you consider following it with one which demonstrates how to determine correct/better/more precise line length(s) when drawing In perspective?

  • @IllBeDARNd

    To me it helps a ton to draw the limbs head and so on as diffrent boxes because what makes perspektive work is knowing wich plane is more visible and how much. You cant draw a nose normally if you look ok to a figure because the nose is not only much smaller but also the downside is the only visible plane. It helps me also greatly when i draw all 3 axes as a little side note and put a simple small box in it to remind me the exact angle
