2:30 - 1 point perspective
4:10 - 2 points perspective
6:45 - 3 points perspective
7:12 - panoramic distortion / banana pan
7:30 - Spherical perspective / Fish eye
11:40 Every 12 years olds OC.
why did i read panoramic distortion as ParAnOiD distortion
Thanks for posting the timestamps!!
1:48 is what adds more to me, what I am taking from the video as new to me. And I think is a very neat trick, as vectors can be out of the canvas, which is one of the things that is a limit if done with raster tools. The whole handling of it is practical and fast, also.
11:40 all the shade
A semester's worth of perspective lessons in one video... Where have you been all my life????
I mean, there was no information on how to measure in any of those perspective systems in order to obtain the same measurement of repeated patterns like windows or sections on buildings and what not. No talk on ellipses and arches or how to do tiled floors to help with scale (although this last one is fairly easy digitally, but if you want an accurate tile dimension, then you have to be more precise). These are the things that are hard and tedious with perspective. What they mentioned is the very basics of perspective. Still an informative video for beginners non the less, as they're all things you should know.
@@TornadoGod1 Yeah, but you can easily find that specific information somewhere else on the internet. Adding only a few more minutes to the total time which is still impressive.
@@TornadoGod1do maths im not gonna lie they helped this was the gist of the topic how to make a perspective grid the whole terminology and technically are probably too vast to fit in one 13 min video pretty sure if you ask them they could give you the answer but the answer to to the fitting windows and stuff do math loll I'm being serious though
Velveeta youtube 😅🤷🏽♂️
In my room
For those who have downloaded the newest version of ps, you can have a similar result by selecting "fixed size" then enter 1% in star number and select "from the center", in the gear icon. And after that you have to enter 90 in the square right after a # in a polygon, the last square seems to be unimportant. Idk if this is the most effective way to do it but it works ! Sorry if the settings aren't named like that for you, I have the french version of ps x)
thank you!
thank you so much!!
omg ur a godsent
Thank you so much!
FUCKING MERCI A TOI MON BON AMI, J'ALLAIS CASSER QUELQUE CHOSE EN TOURNANT EN BOURIQUE! T'ES LE MEILLEUR!
1:58 1 point grid
4:12 2 point grid
5:50 1 point low angle
7:12 fish eye perspective
7:59 spherical perspective
I love you
Thank you!
Thank you so much for these time stamps. I'd like make these additions, too:
6:45 3 point grid
7:21 Banana Pan grid
9:46 Using transform tool for set dressing details
and the guys called the 5:50 1-point low angle a "Dutch Angle" (I only say this bc I will DEFINITELY be using your comment as reference in the future, thanks again)
This taught me more than my art classes in college
They do at ours. Our professors are passionate enough at least.
Real talk. My perspective teacher was... Uhhh wacked
100% agreed tbh my art college killed my passion for art.

This video taught me perspective types that were not even mentioned to me during 2 years of art classes. I'm starting to think that my teachers are kinda incompetent. You guys rule!
Unfortunately a lot of art teachers, are not actually that good of artists. They have a completely different curriculum to get their teaching art degrees than fine artists do for the most part.
I’m an art major and this is more than I have ever learned in school

hey PopCross i loved the Overwatch to dnd and love your work keep at!
As an art teacher I found all your lessons and advices very helpful not only for my students but also for myself (oh... the horror! A teacher that needs lessons) 😌👍
A good teacher is forever a student
Sir whatsapp no. Please
a good teacher never stop to learn...
We are all only human and to acknowledge and grow will o ly make you that more badass, good luck!
Don´t be ashamed! most teachers still learning everytime, learning is a neve end process!
I’ve never seen tutorials like this with such amazing production and detailed information all the while continually capturing the attention of the viewer. Next level UA-cam content served here!

Me: 🤯
Hi BAM animation dudes! So almost a a year ago when I first started watching your videos, I was in a slump because my foundation skills weren't that great. Watching videos like this really helped me a lot and I applied these tips to help enhance my portfolio. Last week I got my first freelance job from a studio and just wanted to say thanks for making very helpful videos like this one!
I just finished taking a perspective class, so it was nice to see how you applied these tools as well.
So to anyone else that is reading this comment, practice these skills , it is very helpful!!
Edit: Thanks for sending the love!
Hey man that is AMAZING, Let's all congratulate this champ! Comment here to send love!
Congratulations
👍👍👍👍👍
Well done!
Dude, awesome! Never. Stop. Learning.
Before watching this video: Oh, another perspective video... I'll watch it, I guess.
After: HOOOOLLLYYY SHIIEEEETTT!!!!!
MY REACTION EXACTLY
is that- IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE??
Totally agree 😄
Exactly 😄
Another Weiss person I see
*"security camera angle"* this caught me off-guard i laughed so hard.. now i'm gonna call all of my drawings security camera footages 😭
I dropped out of majoring in entertainment design because I could not understand perspective at the time haha (nearly 10 years ago) but I can’t believe this 13 minute video fundamentally shifted my understanding of perspective! Amazing. I do graphic design and a little motion now but this makes me feel like maybe there’s a chance I can dabble back in to modern animation :-)
I am really tired. its really late and I am working on my homework
The Mary Sue OC at the end LOLOLOL omg. Thanks for the commitment to making education free. After wasting thousands at university and earning a diploma of burnout, you've inspired me to keep learning.
Thanks! my degree is a pile of trash too! so that's why i wanted to make videos that would actually help people -Brent
Really great to see a perspective video, so many people jump in and draw art/background without being able to block out basic shapes in perspective which hurts them greatly. Also I recommend toonboom harmony/storyboard as they both now have perspective tools that you can snap your cursor too, as well as clip studio paint which also has native perspective tools. If you only work in photoshop you can also get lazy nezumi (paid plugin) which has built in perceptive tools as well.
A few other perspective tips that could be covered in future videos: center of object by drawing an X from corner to corner (if you need something in the center). Scaling things in perspective (say a person up close scaled size wise into the background, or repeating objects). I highly recommend Perspective for comicbook artists by David Chelsea as well!
Happy anniversary :D!
... you wouldn't happened to be the guy who did those "animations" of mlp at one point are you
I remember watching this video for the first time when I was a sophomore struggling to learn how to draw... I'm now referring back to remember how to make perspective grids for a freelance storyboard project I'm working on. This whole UA-cam channel has helped me so much in developing my passion for animation and getting started in my career. Hats off to you guys! thanks!
I’ve been working as an animation concept artist for 10 years and didn’t know some of these photoshop tricks, great tut! Always good to refresh yourself on the fundamentals too
Not only did I learn loads -- I, a completely non-drawer, now feel I could almost kinda do this (at least make grids!!) Off to do some homework! Oh, and as always, you're so freaking funny. When mom laughs, everyone is happy. :)
thank u brent and max's mom

“Real cities have variation”
unless it’s Hong Kong
the thing is with drawing and painting with/without reference to a real life scene, you can decide and alter how true you want it to be to reality (eg. like in color and value, proportion, variation, cropping etc.), even if you're keeping it within realism, and especially if the changes would yield a "better" visual design, or is more appropriate for what youre trying to say with the image. Nothing is sacred
i swear every hong kong building is identical except for 2 things: type of air conditioner hanging outside of the window and color

Soooooo you guys were able to tell me about a topic that NOBODY could properly explain in a way that makes sense, this includes art teachers. It’s astounding how a good perspective can add so much life to a piece. I guess in a way it’s like being a photographer, you have to find the right perspective to make something more appealing. Thank you guys for the tips! Instant sub
This is the greatest art tutorial video on UA-cam. I come back and watch it every few months.
"Between episodes you should practice drawing"
I feel called out. How dare you do this to me.
The tip about how to decide what grid to use is a lifesaver. I studied perspective at art school and literally NOBODY told me this. I struggled because I was missing that most vital clue! Thank you SO much!
Thanks for making these very informative videos on art for free, in a era where nothings free. love the work, much appreciated
This is exactly what I've been needing. Thanks guys.
You guys are *AMAZING*!!! During college, I never felt encouraged to create stories through my drawings (I'm a fashion designer, we basically draw really skinny people in the same 2 poses), and always wanted to learn more about animation, but never really knew how. You guys are seriously helping me to release creative sides of me that I didn't know how I could release them. So, I'm really thankful for all the advice and the effort you guys put into every single video. Can't wait for my Wacom to come home and create as many universes I can with it! 💗🌟
DROP EVERYTHING ITS PERSPECTIVE
I wish this youtube channel was around when I was in college, SO many classes reinventing the wheel or being unnecessarily complicated. Thank god I didn't pay out of pocket for school and got financial aid for all of it because it was a waste of time.
Learned more in this one video than I have in thousands of others. Easiest decision I've ever made to subscribe to a channel.
Such a great video! Will have to come back for those sweet Photoshop tips. Thumbs up.
I have been sifting through youtube to find a comprehensive video on perspective. I feel like a lot of other videos on the topic forget to mention the very basic concepts on the topic, such as where to put the horizon line for certain effects, what the difference is in putting vanishing points close together or far apart, you did an incredible job. Thank you so much
Holy crap, three Topics from 3 different teachers easy explained in 13min with Tips that went much further than the stuff our teachers were ready to share. Even watching the video several times to get everything is time well spend. Thanks guys
Oh my god this video is so comprehensive yet easy to understand- I love how much info is included without being overwhelming for any artist^^ I’m immediately in love with your channel, thank you so much!!
Your presentation is always interesting! Also , the spherical perspective drawing was amazing!!
Thanks for redoing my art guys! Y’all rock and so does the video!
no problem dude! it was fantastic!
I want to start my day with one of your videos! ...and don't do my work by watching your channel whole day
In an effort to be helpful I'd like to add something important that didn't get covered in this excellent video. This confused me a lot so I assume others will have been confused too. If you have a simple one point perspective (applies to 2 point etc) only objects that are parallel to each other will share that vanishing point. So for instance imagine a checkered board floor in one point perspective. Then add a couple of boxes on that floor that are lined up to each other and the floor grid. Those all share the same vanishing point. Now imagine you turn one of the boxes slightly. That box will now have a new vanishing point (probably 2 points assuming it's on an angle to the camera). Since in reality things aren't always lined up parallel to each other (things are turned in different directions), it's likely to have a drawing with many vanishing points, though the main structure of the shot will be simpler as you described. Hope that is not too confusing. Thanks!
Space Drawing Perspective from Dong Ho Kim is the bible for perspective techniques.
What a glorious compilation. I have learned more of this subject than in my 8 years of art education.
It was brilliantly edited, so it was very enjoyable to watch too, thank you so much for your effort. You make internet great.
I died at the last bit. omg. i feel like i did that when i sent my character to you lol. Sorry
I studied animation at uni and we didn't get a single class on perspective so I'm very grateful for this video, still find it confusing when I'm actually drawing myself, but hoping it will merge into my brain and make sense soon!
This is THE most simple and easier perspective video i have seen till date. Not to mention that you cramped so much more in there than just perspective. It is one year worth of foundation learning into animation. Hats off!
I'm so glad I've found you guys, this video may have recovered my passion for drawings. Been stuck on perspective for years but this just clicked
Mother of god, where was this channel my whole life/career/past 5 years. Bless you guys.
teaching us when to apply the concept within the drawing process-thank god. I love you.
My love for these two grows with each episode - THIS IS GREAT
OH MY GOD that stairway cheat was amazing. I've been using every other cheat apart from this one fore years, and i was constructing stairs by hand for some reason. Thank you guys!!!
Don't usually comment on youtube but I just had to. Been following you guys since you started this youtube channel and you've inspired me to draw and learn the fundamentals all over again! Much love for what you guys are doing.
years of research and finding tips for 'specific' drawing on youtube, and here these guys taught all that in just few minutes. where were you all this time? thank you!
Great content! There's so much to learn in 13min, single video, no unnecessary drama or other delaying tactics. Pure learning!
I’ve been trying to push myself to draw backgrounds. This perspective video really helps. Thank you so much!
Holy crap, on my first semester in my first year of university one of the basic fundamental classes we had was technical drafting (like engineering, interior design & architecture-type rendering)....I honestly don't remember understanding the perspective we were stumbling through it but your video now really helps me understand it, thank you so much! 😭💕
Jesus christ, I've been studying art for 10 years and I learned more in these 13 minutes
You guys are the best thing about UA-cam. Thank you for dropping learnings on us.
Another excellent video. Requires rewatching to soak everything up. I had never even thought of using photoshop's free transform tool the way you show it... It seems so obvious now. And I had never thought about making a bajillion lines to start with... I'd always just drawn the ones that directly connect to whatever I was drawing. These sorts of tips are invaluable and I've not seen them anywhere else.
Seeing this makes me sad that there aren't more channels like this. It's rare to get someone(s) who is working in their industry, is good at it, takes time to learn new things, AND takes time to teach things.
The only other guy I can think of is AVE. (Arduino vs Evil)
In my case, I feel that I've gotten back more than twice what I've put out in terms of knowledge, when it comes to my tutorials. Have you guys learned anything valuable from your audience?
11:20 at this i thought this video is sponsored by skillshare but you guys are really funny ..and happy 1st anniversary
haha! nope no sponsors!

first time i ever see a video explaining the shape trick to create the perspective vanishing points, so helpful. thanks
Awesome video guys ♥ Thank you

I'm drawing a piece that is using one point perspective for the background and a 2 point perspective for the character. It was a major pain in the a** making the guidelines for those perspective. This will help me tremendously. Thank you!

I'm not even that old, I graduated high school in 2010 but this is blowing my mind. I had to do soooo much perspective drawing by hand and it made me hate it because it was so frustrating. This is so more efficient in digital art and I am so happy I found this.
I can’t believe this information is free, I feel almost guilty for not paying anything this is literally GOLD! Helping so many artist out there I’m a new fan of this channel!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Two uploads in a day? It's not even Christmas yet, ya' nerds
Dude I was just stressing about this! You guys saved me lots of time hahaha
wow this was very informative! most people just show "oh yes this is how you make 1/2/3 point perspective," AND JUST THAT, but you actually shown how to make it, shown applications of it and how to construct them and even improved artwork from other people! so much to learn from here
This video just made my night. I've recently switched to digital art and I was struggling with finding the vanishing point again when I moved them off the live area each time I made a new guide line. Having a vector controlled VP and GL is amazing and so helpful. Thank you!
y'all are my new favorite.
You guys are so helpful! Thank you for this show! Also super entertaining :D
I'm new today but I think this is right where I need to be. Two yrs ago, my private art institute was closed forever & it left me devastated. I since then have become most involved to youtube to keep my own studies in check. Perspective was the very first class I took along w photoshop & I remember thinking I'm not good enough. But to my shock I passed both classes w A's. I am a visual learner & your tutorials are just what is needed provided that you are social & interact w your viewers much like in actual class.
This channel is the absolute best resource that I've found for insight into animation. As somebody trying to be a self-taught animator, this channel has been a god-sent.
I hope these two make a million dollars each off of this channel.
I've always wondered how illustrators create such wonderful backgrounds and I think this pretty much answered everything. As someone who wasted money and time at art school, I learned more from this episode alone than... nm I'm depressed now.
I WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS
Holy cow, thank you so much. Every video I've watched overcomplicates the idea of perspective and how you make it and how you do it. This made it so easy to understand and implement. Honestly a god sense, ty ty
I can't begin to describe how amazing this video is. So simply explained, full of practical examples with super useful tips. This video is gold!!!
I'm an architecture student and even if I already know about the theory of perspective I found this lesson very useful 👍

Friends, thank you so much. I've learned perspective in a classroom setting but never knew how to actually use it when drawing digitally. Plus you've taught me so many more details than I was exposed to before about how to make perspective more interesting! Thank you so so much for sharing all of this fantastic knowledge. Now I'm off to practice!

youtube is kinda unthanklful.. great editing, great ideas, great useful tips, real actual talent (unlike your typical view-reaping trash-content-producing youbue-"TALENT" that only got famous cause luck and/or cause attractive).. why does this channel not have a million subs yet after almost 2 years??
thank you so much for this! i've been struggling in art uni since they don't really talk much about how perspective work, just told us what to draw and I've been having a hard time, you guys a live saver
