      Thank you 🙏🏽 @TobySketchLoose. Yes @cathedralirish820 The light bulb came on for me also! 💡 I’ve been struggling with perspective/horizon lines my whole life (Baby Boomer alert)! I really needed this. The weather in winter gives us the opportunity for indoor hobbies, and I’ve been drawing and painting again! Now I can break free and try a city street or a farm house! I feel liberated to paint whatever I want! Thank You & Happy New Year!

    This is a very well-presented, clearly understandable video on the challenging (for me) topic of perspective. I’m an old dude that absolutely loves life’s creative side, who’s had virtually no art education, and yet still aspires to draw and/or paint images that others might appreciate. YT is marvelous in helping guide those, like me, who never had the opportunity to learn this stuff. Then I happened upon this site. I feel like a light bulb went on while watching this particular video. I quickly subscribed to this site and can’t wait to explore Toby’s other videos more thoroughly. I just wish I had access to this kind of thing 50 years ago. Thank you Toby for sharing your talents and helping prove that, with a bit of help, you’re never to old to pursue your passion(s).

    Wow Wow Wow. This was a great video. I sat and ran through it three times already because perspective is the one thing that eludes me. But, I have confidence now that I can master it after watching this. I plan to practice, practice, practice and watch this video even more until I get it down perfectly. Thank you for making it easy to understand.

    This is actually one of the best perspective explanations I've seen.
    I have desperately needed one that explained it but also took a real drawing and basically worked backwards.
    Thank you!
    Going to watch a few more of your videos. Even though I don't plan to do much drawing of similar style, I can still learn much

    Great info on roads not going higher than the horizon line….. a mistake I often make when putting trails in landscapes. They always look wonky. Now I know why! Perspective has always been a challenge for me, so I truly appreciate your simple explanations and illustrations as to how it works.

    My head almost exploded😅 I'll have to watch this with paper and pencil. I'll have to print some pictures and draw on them. It makes sense for sure. Thank you Toby. Persective is 1 of many things I have trouble with. On a short, which I can't locate, you were heart broken about a comment from someone not improving their art. I can relate. I have taken all my art supplies to Goodwill many times. At times the frustrations are to overwhelming. I draw
    something everyday from "how to draw" books but can't look at something and draw it. I try to resist chucking stuff but I just get so depressed. It's why I did inktober. I figured it would be a hot mess but was fun attempting different ideas.
    Again, thank you for your wonderful videos. They are fun!

    WOW ... it clicked for me. like @catedralirish820, I am an older (68) and new (6-7 weeks) watercolor/sketch newbie. I haven't done much drawing or watercolor since grade school and was teased by family for my art so made the decision that I was not creative. I've been a hobby photographer and now also videography and my day job was as a self employed software developer. So, finally common sense kicked in and I realized that I was creative :) ... so, now learning watercolor and drawing.
    All that to say after some good, bad and ugly illustrated journal entries, after watching this video, I quickly sketched a desk that was raised to work standing, located about 18 feet away from me. I was able to see horizon and the lines of perspective AND my result ... holy cow! I can't wait to try more. Thanks!!

    2 things... 1) people of the same height have the same horizon or VP. 2) in the example of the guy sitting, people of the same height of the guy standing would have the horizon line cutting through the same body part (in other words if you're at one guys knees, all the others would be the knees as well...

I watched a hundred videos, but they all seemed confusing and almost anti-artistic in a way, because the explanations were either too “technical” or just lacking all the information… maybe it was just me! LOL YOUR video was totally understandable, easy to grasp, detailed, and do-able! I’m 100% sure I can incorporate your excellent instruction and begin my plein air journey (without a slide rule or scientific calculator 😂). Thank you so much! 😊
