Hi Liron. I am 74 years old and have been on my artistic journey for over 20 years off and on. I have never been very good on spacial things, in fact I don't understand it at all. I'm trying to understand your video but I'm having a hard time. I will watch this video over and over and maybe I'll get it, I hope so. You make it look and sound so easy. I'll try harder. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing! This isn't necessarily the easiest thing to begin with.
I would say this - art is about freedom of creation and joy. Find what gives you that (:
To this day I still enjoy sketching things as I see them, without thinking about any of this 3D stuff.
That's my version of it - and you may find yours. Happy 2024 🙏😊
I have been on my art journey for 1 month and even I can tell you to just ignore this video. It seems to be about guestimation and the clickbait title makes you think you need to know this. You're better off just copying a reference, get an actual rubics cube or any cube for that matter. Understanding perspective is important, but this video just shows nothing more than a simple brain exercise, I'd just ignore it if it's not for you
@@jeffjefferson2853so you've been doing this for 1 month, and are saying that this should just be ignored? If anything, you sound like you don't know what you're talking about.
I think your message is to not worry about perspective, and to just draw in the beginning, and that's true. But perspective is absolutely essential regardless, and you will eventually need to take it seriously if you wish to take your stuff to the next level. So this is not clickbait, the video explains exactly what the title says, and it's a good exercise. Go and draw 250 boxes from imagination and then tell me it wasn't helpful for drawing literally anything you want.
@@jeffjefferson2853 no offense but you are very, very wrong
I’m restarting my artistic journey as well. I raised my kiddos and my arts good but time for submersion. I don’t have to rely on my art for money but I’d still like to share it in a professional manner. But as a creative I have to say I love this approach I 100% feel your passion coming from you but I feel my art like I feel only my flashbacks to being called stupid from my geometry teacher, I don’t think it’s my fit. Remember this may teach everyone the motions but not the emotions required for some. I feel like you’re more excited about the angles and perspective. I think DaVinci and youself sir would have been best pals I would still be your pal just not your student today.
Holy crap this just gave me what I was missing seriously. I asked many artists what are the degrees and no one could answer me or would look at me like I was crazy. This confirmed all my beliefs, thank you for the clear explanation. Awesome video.
Awesome so happy to hear! 😁
I get it drawing cubes is not very inspirational. The guys not wrong. That is his approach. When I first started. Astro boy was my inspiration. Then Godzilla. My brother would bring home marvel comic books. That is what got me drawing.
Oh my gosh! Although I understand this concept of perspective intellectually, my eyes don’t seem to connect with my brain properly. This will/has to be my next task - drawing cubes very diligently and thoroughly as long as it takes, until it eventually seeps in and leads to the great Eureka Moment. Thank you very much, Liron 😊
I got to agree with you Kris lol 😆
You got it exactly right Kris!! That's pretty much the main way of improving this skill.
Keep at it! I've been drawing for SO LONG and still learn and improve my cubes and cylinders haha 😁
The trick that did it for me is to think of each plane of the box as having a minor axis and degree, just like an ellipse
@@ScilexGuitar I like your approach and want to get it better, can you elaborate more please?
@@yassinedghoughi9500 The best way to understand this is drawing boxes with cylinders in them touching two opposite planes of the box
I heard that Kim Jung Gi once said that when he learnt to draw the cube in any angle his art improved a lot. Great video! Another exercise is the hinge another cube on the edge of a cube without making it look wonky perspective wise
Interesting 🤔
I read it as kim jung un 😅
@@jmshrrsn godspeed brother, may your art journey take you far! o7
@@jmshrrsn you're right, you need be conscious with those exercises;
@@Hawkfeet So did I! And I also read '' his HEART improved a lot'' 😂
Cube is the key
Seeing objects from many angles gives you an unlimited amount of ways to express your art
You are the exact teacher beginners need to learn from. I bought a perspective course on sale, but I didn't feel like it was right to just learn how to put down a horizon line and match lines up. It wouldn't be really teaching me what is really going on. You break it down in a way that's easy to understand and shows us what elements we are actually seeing when we pull out the horizon line/VP. Thank you Liron! I'll make sure to check out your other videos/courses.
Wow thank you so much for the kind words 😁🙏🏼🙏🏼 You can do this 💪 ✏️
@@LironYan Is the pen you use here the Uniball White Gel Pen yiu said innthe description? Thanks for shaping
Perspective is hard cause many dont teach it right.
@@realamericannegro977true he also got the lines wrong
My thing is people have the notion creating art an expensive endeavor. However When just starting out Go to the Ninety Nine cent store or walmart, get some Crayolas,copy paper.or some large white card board used for posters. I promise you won't spend over ten dollars. In New York where I live there are expensive stores like BLIX OR MICHAELS. There you will spend $30.00 and up. Professionals shop there. Another tool which is good for a beginner are a pack of "bic pens and ticonderoga pencils. Because "IT IS NOT THE TOOLS BUT THE PERSON WITH THE TOOL"
If i ever had an art teacher like you I wouldn't have to discover now in my mid 30s that yes it is actually possible for me to learn how to draw. Thanks a lot for this!
perspective is something that i still struggle with even after I've just gotten my diploma in animation. i don't think I've ever experienced a very concise and clear explanation, finding your channel is such a blessing! thank you so much for making these videos I'll be binging them and sharing them with my felow-perspective-strugglers.
I'm proud that I came up with this sort of approach on my own a couple years ago. I thought "instead of having to do the whole vanishing point shabang every time, why don't I practice cubes from different angles to get used to how they look?". Then I ended up doing basically the same steps, closest corner first, three lines from there and finish off by making the parallel ones slightly converge. Your explanation is much better than what I could put into words, though.
I got it after reading your comment 😂
Actually, you just REALLY simplified it for me, thank you!
This video was a huge breakthrough as a beginner. I love the format it made everything click for me. I really wish more art UA-camrs made videos like this to demonstrate concepts instead of just talk about them.
I'm just beginning my journey as an artist at 23 years old, and I have to say this video has helped me immensely, especially with the idea of putting human heads and rib cages into boxes at the end... thank you very much for creating this tutorial!!
im also startin out at 23 lol hello!
Same age as you guys started like about a month ago, and there was a book by Ernest norling-perspective made easy . One of the best books on perspective I have ever seen really helped me on this journey .
Do you by chance have an Amazon link to the book or a good place to buy it from?
PROBLEM , WHERE WOULD I PURCHASE AN ANIMATION PROGRAM? HOW MUCH ARE THEY?
I have been trying to figure out perspective for several days now and I think the biggest block was trying to understand one and two point perspectives, but as far as I can tell now it seems like they are just simplifications or special cases of the more general 3 point perspective. Relating the vanishing points to indications of dimensionality makes a ton of sense for me.
Exactly! The others almost require you to ignore some aspect of reality (:
Understanding it all holistically is usually more effective 🙏🏼 Thank you for watching!
For me it seems like this is phase 2 of the journey. Because the real basic imo is being able to draw shapes in two and three point perspective. Without understanding how perspective works, this exercise will be harder and much less rewarding in the end.
My phone rotated halfway through your explanation and it still made sense. Spacial imagination is really amazing

Making a difficult concept easy to understand=brilliance!
Finally, someone has presented this confusing subject into a user friendly and practical tool.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Happy I could help ☺️🙏🏼 Thank you for watching!
Dude I have literally been studying perspective FOR YEARS and haven't managed to get cube rotation to stick in my brain. This was SO HELPFUL, I'm immediately able to see how it works
So happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 It’s all about understanding. Once you see and understand - drawing it accurately is very possible! Thank you for watching
An answer to my prayers!! Thank you! I am so grateful! May God Bless you with His infinite resources!
This video is crazy how I understand this too easy thank you Jesus I needed this
Haha happy to hear 😁🙏🏼 I think it helped provide a lot of ah-ha! Moments for people
This is such a helpful tutorial, Liron - thank you so much for this fantastic description of the reasons behind perspective in all subjects. Very clear and memorable!
This is a good reminder for basics of how to view objects and understanding what point of view to take and shaping them all out with this shape.
I feel like i finally begin to understand mathematic better, truely amazing info that i was looking for. Tried to follow the drawings with you and when i looked up you already drew two more, my mind is blown by this, thank you so much!
I'm glad this exercise is being spread around, I think it really helps you to get out of place with drawing, usually exercises and drawing teachings just make me confused on the internet.
Thank you so much! I started really diving into perspective this month. I learned about the horizon line and vanishing points, etc. And after going through many videos, people would continuous say that we should learn how to freehdand this stuff. However, anytime I tried to freehand my boxes, they would come out looking weird or I just countinued wrap my head around freehand boxes. I learned about the Y / pie method a few days ago, but that was it. I didn't learn how to apply it affectively. I feel like this video just brings it ALL together. My boxes have started to look like they are ACTUALLY in perspective. Thank you sooo much for making this video. Keep it up!
The idea of starting with the closest point first is super intuitive. Thank you, Liron!
This was a really great video and I appreciate your posting it. I have been struggling with perspective and your explanation on the way in which you draw the cubes was very helpful. It help me realize the way in which I had been seeing things was flat. This is one of those videos I think I’m going to watch over and over again. Your explanation was excellent and clear.
Just wanted to say thank you, Liron! This video really helped me in understanding the cube better!
Excellent. Using Rubik's cube as a visual aid makes it easier to see, but your explanation is also clear and easy to understand. I'm enjoying all of these tutorials. Thank you.
This is the video that Ive been seeking. Interesting how few other instructors include this one. For me, as is pointed out, it's critically foundational! Thank you!
Best teaching about perspectives that I have ever come across!!
Hands down
Best vid about this topic on UA-cam
me qwatchiing this drunk af
Idk why that was more hilarious then I thought XD
The q says you are drunk
Just got home from rehab 32 days sober from alcohol, and I pull up a video to watch to get my mind off cravings and practice drawing. Well not sure but I don't think I belong in these comments 😢😂
Subscribed!! 🙋🏻♀️ You're so right; this exercise is the basis for everything. It's also really satisfying to see the convergence lines. Thank you. *Grabs sketch pad!...*
This is the single most important drawing video I've ever seen. This solves multiple issues I've had regarding cube movement in space. This video nails it!
Cubes are difficult I mess them all the time so gonna do this exercise 😁 I love how you explain things in an approachable way 🤠
Finally i understand the 3rd vanishing point. Thank you!
I thought I had a good grasp of the cube. This really brought it together for its value for a basic shape fo evolve everything. Loved it. Love you.
Thank you Rhonda 😊🙏🏼
Very new to drawing and water colour and I am amazed at how much I learn from your videos. Will be spending this rainy day practicing these cubes!! Thank you
This totally overthrew the restricting, or i would say rather complex 3 point system and instead gave a very intuitive idea of how rotation works in space. This means, instead of following the strict 3P methods, now you can imagine a scene inside a box and rotate it according to the want. Same works for rotating characters in all angles. Like Kim Jung Gi 's invisible grid, with enough rigorous practice through this method, you start to see the grid in an environment. This exercise is a life changer. Thank you for this.
Thank you! Great insight, and so wonderful for you to share it !
THANKS LIRON! Great lesson and explanation.
One of the greatest tutorials. Thank you.
This is gold for me! You are a briliant theacher! Thank you so much.
You are an amazing teacher. Very concise. So many people want to express how intelligent they are and can't get enough of their own voice. Great lesson.
I'm just learning to draw and having so much trouble with this, thank you for breaking it down so clearly! Since I was a kid I drew cubes with parallel lines and thought I was so good at them, now I realize that I've been missing the right concepts all along. I'm using perspective now!
Thank you, Liron. I most definitely need to do this exercise. Thank you so much😊
Excellent. Best session this week. Inspired and fun to do. Thankyou
wow simplicity is the key, thank you, finally i started to get some knowledge. 🙌🏼😁
BRILLIANT explanation - many thanks for this ! 🎉❤
immediately subscribed. You've explained something I've struggled with for a while in a matter of minutes. TYSM!!🧡
I've been struggling with perspective but this video helped me a lot, Thank you!
Thank you. I am not a beginner, but I always find beginner exercises insightful. I would love to see your drawing exercise applied to drawing tesseracts: cubes within cubes.
thank you so much this helps sooo much. i followed along and feel like a new world opened up to me. you're amazing
Love your teaching. Thanks
Really great tutorial, Liron!!
your explanations were so easy to follow, thanks so very much.
Different approach for art . Amazing. Good place to learn
clear explaination about perspective! I like your cube.
Great teaching! Thank you so much for explaining the 120 degrees
triangle and the closest point. Once I fully understand and practice this, I think I'll have it!!
After quitting drawabox twice right at the “drawing a box” portion, I think this is the best video to explain exactly what I was doing wrong. I might give the program another try thanks to you!
You are a real Guru of perspective 🙏🙏🙏 I'm going to do it
Great exercise, Lirón.
Fundamentals are so important
Splendid! Appreciate your beautiful efforts ❤💐
That was very helpful. Thanks Liron.
This is amazing, this is a brand new tip i have never heard of before unlike other people who just repeats tips that are everywhere already on the internet!
thank you soooo much liron most helpful! really helped seeing a head develop in the cube 👌
"" Rotate in your imagination "' ... is a big key to this ...
My favourite motion/perspective art was built like this
Using a Rubik's Cube is a simplistically genius method
It's like a scale graph in 3D ; A truly amazing technique
😁🙏🏼🙏🏼
awesome dude. !! rhee BEST demo ever on Drawing without all that techmical stuff...direct & simplified. very enjoyable and very well presented. MANY tanks to YOU for opening up the floodgates of happy drawing !!
I LOVE THE SABO AND KATAKURI FIGURES IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you 😁😁 I love them too!!
I want to get new bigger ones in the future
Wowww never explained better... You are a great a great teacher Liron. I bought your book of how to sketch and a I fell in love with the drawing. Keep going with this videos... you have an student in Dominican Republic from now on...
Thank you for sharing your insights. Very helpful, and I will do this study a lot because I see its value so clearly.
Thank you so much, is really useful. I'll start practicing this
I feel so lucky I've encountered your Chanel today. I've been trying to draw box for 4 days now and wasted 4 extra large drawing paper as Art Project. I can finally go through to the next segment of my kesson. Thanks a million. ❤
Excellent demonstration. I understand perspective drawing but this will help me more intuitive without actually drawing all the vanishing points. Thanks!
Observing the angles of each line is what made this stick for me. It's a simple concept but so important; you did a great job explaining everything. Subscribed!
What helped me the most was using Blender and creating mesh grids / shapes from perspectives & redrawing that what I see digitally adjusting artificial lighting.
One of the best and the easiest explainations.🤩😍🥰
Most helpful video I have ever watched on helping with perspective
still great example of how it all works together, but one point of view is nice to see how you work the head view in this object.
Thx 🥰🥰🥰 it finally make sense
I’M SO HAPPY, IT’S THE FIRST TIME THAT I ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND HOW TO DRAW CUBES IN ANY ANGLE!! I WAS TRYING TO DRAW CUBES EARLIER AND IT WAS SO DIFFICULT, THIS EXERCISE WILL HELP ME A LOTTT THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU MAKE EVERYTHING SO EASY!!
Hello, very well explained and you simplified thereason why alot of people say "they cant draw"Thankyoy Faye. ❤👍👍👍
Just mind-blowing! This trick is ultimately helpful for me! Thanks a lot!
Best video ever !! Thank you !!
Very beautifully showed perspective and isometric drawing. what simple way to understand sides of cube with cube.
I'm glad that my sense of 3D space isn't that mediocre. Imagining basic 3D shapes inside my head wss cake. I'm so grateful.
Great video. Thanks! Seeing the rubix cube really helped.
Outstanding. Thank you
Extremely useful - Thank You so much!
This is so helpful and clear. Thanks!
Finally learned to draw cubes in prospective with proper understanding!🎉
Wow that was really cool. The last part really put it all in perspective. Imagine all this being done with the left hand. That would be how I would be doing it
Great video. Thank you!
9:00 Yes! This is so important and helped me to finally properly understand perspective. It now helps me to think of it as the full perspective, a vertical and a horizontal "horizon", with vanishing points occurring along both. With this in mind, one, two and three point perspective are actually either special instances (one point) or some abbreviation (two point) of this full perspective.
Thanks for a good tutorial
something that might go well with this is plotting shadows - as in a bunch of cubes, say a town seen from a hillside, with shadows being cast by the sun - very tricky thing :)
Very well explained awesome
Your video was a tremendous help! I’ve watched countless videos on perspective and yours helped make things click. Thank you!
Same here.
This was an incredible tutorial, thank you so much for this
