Perspective got you down? I can help. Follow along with me as we draw 4 cubes in 2 point perspective and 4 cubes in 3 point perspective. All you need is paper, a ruler and a pencil.
I will spoil the ending and tell you that the main difference is the sides. With 2 point perspective the sides are perpendicular (straight up and down). When you draw using 3 point perspective your sides depend on and are drawn from the third perspective point. Similar to how a building looks like it gets smaller when you look up at it (the third vanishing point would be above it). Follow this step by step tutorial to see this in action. Enjoy!

Thank you. Am 75 years old. And this is the first time I have been able to understand 2 and 3 perspectives. Great instruction
Angelina, I just turned 76 last week. And, I totally agree..."great instruction"!
@@joycesnodgrass7068 Oh, I am just 12. But I agree with both of you!
Happy Human oh my mom ate my dad
Please don’t-you know
This has been the only video to actually break down 3 point perspective to me. This method is perfect. Thank you
You are welcome! Perspective has taken me forever to understand
@MrOtterArtStudio I have a question. Do you have an videos that help with drawing cylinders in perspective
Thank you for explaining it clearly and making it look simple and easy!
That’s the best demonstration on 3 point perspective I have found today! Thank you!
I’m 44years old and can honestly say that is the first time Ive ever understood perspective!!
Fantastic, these videos are so helpful plus a supply list !
Super helpful! Finally able to understand 3 point perspective. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you this really helped me!
Great tutorial! Thanks!
So very helpful...thanks!
This was exactly what I needed!
You're a good teacher.
I love your lessons & style. You should try making some lesson videos asmr soft spoken style. I think they'd be a hit! Your voice already gives me tingles cus it's so comforting 🤗
ha ha thanks! I listen to those asmr videos sometimes too and I swear I am going to fall right asleep!
Your amazing teacher
Very useful thank you
May God bless you always ,, thank you for sharingg :)))))
You are so welcome! same to you:)
I'm 13 but you made perspective very easy thank you
Hi Can you draw 2D line illusion And 3D line illusion? Examples?
Please, why don't the side lines converge in 2-point perspective--if an object is above or below your eyeline, then isn't the far side (on the y axis) going to appear smaller than the near side thus making the side lines not vertical/parallel?
Nice video sadly not really getting 3Point i am starting to understand 2 point and can even make the blocks i want to (sometimes) but 3 point keeps breaking my mind but hack 2 point used to break my mind so guess i just got to keep going,
Perspective is one of the trickiest drawing techniques for me, I finally got it when one of my art students explained it. I need some step by step simple 3 point perspective videos
Excellent, but I have a question. Using the same 3rd point as you have already shown, if I wanted to draw a box on the left side of the page, would I move that 3rd point? Can I have multiple third points keeping the LVP and RVP consistent? It seems so....or I would have a very very wide box on the left of page...so could you help me understand this part better? I was making notes on my drawing and didnt want to draw through the notes so instead of making my the box above horizon where you did, I tried to make it on the left of paper where I had empty space. Also, I think I understand that the LVP and RVP can move, even off the page, but the point is that I imagine the same spot on the left and on the right of the horizon when drawing one item? Is that correct?
I have experimented on this 3 variations of perspective... for a box, the 1 pt perspective is when one plane of the box is directly facing the viewer... in the 2 pt. perspective it is when the viewer is looking at a box rotated so that the vertical edge is the one facing... in the 3 pt. perspective it becomes more complicated... not only is it rotated but one corner of the box is even lifted off the ground... in the case of her example it is the back corner that has been lifted... remember that a vanishing point is the convergence of parallel lines...
If you add another vanishing point it only means you are making another object tilted at another angle...
In order for you to visualize this I suggest you make a 1 pt perspective first... draw the ground like a checkered board... then draw on top of this the 2 pt perspective... and then finally the 3 pt perspective... through this you can visualize how the object relates to the ground...
😃 sorry for the long explanation... hope it helps...
@@mymaths101 Thank you so much for your response I will give that a try!
@@suzannewaters6114 glad to be of help...
Oh in addition to that, in her drawing if she uses the same LVP and RVP but introduces a 3rd VP for a 3 pt. Perspective it means that what she is drawing is not a box but a parallelogram block with top and bottom plane parallel to the horizon... the horizon is the eye level of the viewer, so if her intention was to draw a city where the viewer is in the sky it should not be beside a 2pt. Perspective... the viewer in these variations are on different locations... however a 1pt perspective and 2pt perspective are totally fine being together...
If the intention is to draw a tilted object then make a new vanishing line parallel to the horizon and put your new LVP and RVP on this line... if it is tilting forward then that line should be above the horizon and the third VP below the horizon... if it is tilting backwards then it should be the reverse...
Good luck to your drawing...😃☺
@@mymaths101 Thank you, I think I understand. Also as you said, 3pt wouldn't normally be in a composition where there is also 1pt and even 2pt. So in this case it is just a demo of all 3 perspectives that happen to be on the same paper during her lesson. Is that correct? One more question if you dont mind? I understand the horizon is the eye level of the viewer and when its obvious the top of building can be seen the viewer is obviously located up higher and looking down on the building..and vice versa if the bottom of a box/object can be seen, correct? What throws me is when its not so obvious, especially in a landscape, or floral, which is what I generally draw/paint. I get confused between where Im physically sitting looking at the picture in relation to where the picture is eg: in the floor or on the wall up high. I know that isnt right thinking..but its where the viewer is...in the picture?? or where is the viewer standing?? in front of the picture as if looking out on a landscape?? It confuses me. Example I have a landscape painting of a little church in a forest..so is that only going to use 1pt and 2pt?? I dont know why I have trouble grasping this. I think one of those things...when you get it, you get it...but I keep loosing it ;)
@@suzannewaters6114 we are actually not limited to just 3 vanishing points... we could increase it... if the object in your drawing is composed of several planes or sides... like a pentagram for instance, you would have several vanishing points...
Now going back to your view of the eye level, in 1pt and 2 pt perspective the horizon is perpendicular to the viewer... that is why we are only drawing vertical lines in parallel and not in vanishing mode, it is assumed in this case that the 3rd vp is way way off the page... however, in 3pt perspective there is a plane of view... if we are looking from the sky, which they usually call birds eye view (if your looking from the ground then up, they call it worms eye view), the plane of view has an angle from the ground... in geometry we only need 3pts to identify a plane... and in this case your lvp, rvp and third vp make a plane... the viewer is like looking at a perpendicular angle at this plane... or in case of cartesian plane the lvp, rvp and 3rd vp are all defined by x and y coordinates in the x and y axis while the viewer is located at the z axes...
So to answer your question on your painting of landscape, if your intention is to illustrate a realistic view there should only be one plane of view, in your case, sitting on a chair 1pt and 2 pt perspective is suffice...
Like a camera it only captures in one plane of view...
I am not a professional, you probably paint better than me... Its just that I spent so much time on understanding this that I want to share what I understand...
😃 good luck to our quest...
That random bass in the background music 🥲 it’s so loud lol
is that 3 point perspective right? when your looking at object from below, that third perspective dot would move to the top and box would get smaller but in your drawing it gets bigger, which means that it's not symmetrical. so when you look at object from below, side that's the closest to the camera would be the biggest wouldn't it?
Yep, you are correct gkgamer x
@@MrOtterArtStudio so you know that you did it completely wrong and call yourself a teacher?
First
Drawing accurate cubes in 3-point is actually quite difficult, and requires more advanced techniques. These are just boxes.
