The Ultimate Perspective Drawing Course - Draw 3D in Perspective step by step .

1. Intoduction: Hi, welcome everyone to a new course and perspective Trump. Draw discourse are covered basically all what there is to know on the subject. Explaining the various techniques and methods involved. Perspective is fundamental when it comes to drawing successfully. And you've likely heard the term before. But if you are a beginner, there's a chance that you might not know what it is. Prospective is the art of free presenting three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other. As if it is seen by the eye. It allows us to create a sense of space. It's necessary when it comes to drop pretty much anything. And it's hard to even imagine there, there was once upon a time when artists didn't even know what it was. Before the discovery of perspective, artists would struggle to depict the three-dimensional world in their artworks. At least until this guy came along fairly bulbar Vilenski, he conducted an experiment which led to the discovery of linear perspective. And thanks today follows, and you're here learning perspective. And I have the honor of helping you do that. So in this course, we will discuss 12 entry points, perspective grown, explaining how and why you should use perspective in some of your artworks. Respective is imperative in the pursuit of learning how to draw. It's something there we cannot overlook. A perspective can be complex and sometimes overwhelming for beginners. That is why we have to start with the basics and work our way up. That is what I intended to do to our discourse, helping you learn how to draw in perspective. So what do I have to say? Welcome in my course, and I hope you'll enjoy it. See you inside. 2. Final Horizon Line Lecture: When I begin a drawing, I often start by establishing the position of the horizon line. And yes, this is just a simple horizontal line which spans across the entire drawing. But what is it? What is it used for? Well, you horizon line is our eye level. It delineates the separation between the sky and the ground. If we were to find ourselves out in the desert where the ground seems to stretch out. As far as the eye can see. We would be able to recognize that separation. We'll slide on a busy city streets. The line is still there. There's just all these buildings are people obstruct. If you were to go inside, the horizon line will still be there as well. It's always there and you always need it. Seen as it is also your eye level. You are able to change the level of this slide. If you were to lay down on the ground, you will find that the line has lowered. Likewise, if you was to be a lot higher aboveground, the line would also be higher. Near horizon line raises and lowers went our height. It remains that I level. Thank you guys for sending me your drawing. There. You draw by around from my previous course. And I taught, there would be the perfect example for new students. You even tried to cover my signature, angola, Iowa close. Thank you. Let's continue. All of this applies to when you draw on a flat surface. Except you are in charge. You get to choose where you want dislike. You are able to change the perspective. And you do this in a virtual sense. We're drawing to create an interesting image. Before you start drawing, you will likely have an idea for you want to draw. So try and consider how you want the image to appear and then decide or where you want to place the horizon Island and where it would work best. Changing the level of this line will give you different results. As you can see here, the box on the left is showing from above. Because the eye level is above. The box on the right is showing from below because the eye level is below. So that is your horizon line. I hope you see clear in every situation. And there you are able to position where it work best for what you're planning to draw. See you next to learn about vanishing points. 3. FINAL VANISHING POINTS LECTURE: Welcome everyone to another lecture in the perspective drawing course. In this lecture, we are going to be learning about vanishing point. And the previous lecture, we had taken a look at the horizon line. And now, now we are familiar with that. Let's turn to cover something of equal importance. Vanishing points. And vanishing point is a point which exists on the horizon line. It can be placed anywhere and change in the position of these points will create different results. This is because it is a point of convergence. Now, before we go any further, let's discuss some basics, terminology that you'll likely know already. Parallel. This is when two or more lines are alongside each other, but do not me at any point, no matter how long they are, they will never come in contact or cross each other. Perpendicular. These are lands we meet at right angles. Diagonal. Diagonal is a land which connects to vertex when they are not on the same edge. The term is also commonly used to describe any lands there has a slope. Okay? So going back to what was previously discussing, a vanishing point is a point of convergence in which the receding parallel lands diminish. This is what gives our drawing that three-dimensional appearance. It is also evident in real life. A good example is the stand in the middle of a straight road. And notice how the sides of the road seemed to head to 1 on the horizon. The central line of the road will go straight forward to that point. And the lands are at either side, will angle tropes in. The point of intersection is the vanishing point. Everything is diminishing as it converges into the distance. This is the, the fact that you are generating when drawing. You need vanishing points to be able to accurately place what you are drawing in a realistic space. Without it, everything would appear flat. There will be also nowhere to gain a sense of scale and distance. We are able to place multiple vanishing points in order to create different drawings. And as you probably guessed, the more vanishing points, the more complex it can be. You've likely heard the term 1.2 points and 3 perspective. That means the amount of vanishing points used in doubt drawing. We will take a look at each of these more in depth in later lectures. But for this brief introduction, take a look at some images in 23 perspective. Here we have an image in two points perspective. The horizon line is here. And then we have either side of this building converges into its own vanishing point. But notice how we can see these vanishing points. That is because they are away from the image. So let's zoom out and see where these points are on the horizon line. Everything in this image converges towards them. But you're commonly found that when you are drawing your vanishing points are away from the image, meaning you will have to estimate a lot of data convergence. So next up, we have an image on 3 perspective. This is taken from the ground looking up at some buildings. There are two vanishing points placed apart on the horizon line. Similar to two points perspective. But there is also a third away from the image as well. And this is place either above or below the horizon line. In this case, it is placed a birth as a building's rise up. They are directed to roads that point. And so as always, they start to reduce his scale. They are all converging towards this vanishing points. And I know this might be confusing because I said Tao, all of the vanishing points are on the horizon line. But don't worry, we will cover that in a later lecture. So let's finish this lecture off by drawing a simple box in all three perspectives. For each of these examples are placed the cube below the horizon to the right. This will give you a good idea of how the vanishing points, our view. Here we have 1 perspective with the vanishing point placed in the center of the horizon line. For two points perspective, the vanishing points are placed at either side of the horizon line. Now for three points perspective, we will have to either side of the horizon line. And then we placed one away from the horizon line. This might be confusing, but we will cover it more in depth in a later lecture. This is just an example of how vanishing points change the appearance of the drawing. There is a lot to get into and we will take a one step at a time. I hope you see clear in every situation. Now we need more detailed lectures on each one of them. So let's get into it. 4. FINAL 1 POINT PERSPECTIVE: Welcome everyone to another lecture in the perspective drawing course. In this lecture, we are going to be learning about one-point perspective. And in this one, we are going to be expanded on there by taking a look at one-point perspective. This means using only one vanishing point to create your drawings. It's common to assume that one-point perspective is simple. And wires that can be true. It still has a lot of potentials to produce interesting images. So let's begin with a simple example. Here I have established the horizon line and I have blazed the vanishing point in the center. Now, I'm going to draw in some boxes using that point. These are drone in one-point perspective and are likely begin the lecture on 23 points perspective in a similar way. Because drawing boxes like this is a simple way to illustrate the use of vanishing point. Now, here we have these boxes of different sizes placed in this space. Notice how one plan is flat, whilst the others are converging to a vanishing point. If I draw them above the horizon, our bill looking up at them from below. If I draw them below the horizon, I'll be looking at them from above. Remember that this is because the horizon line is our eye level. This is a good exercise to start with. If you are begin, try drawing boxes like this in one-point perspective. You may assume that drawing our simple boxes will be a little benefit when learning to draw. But as we progress through this course, you'll notice that we depend on boxes and other basic forms to construct and draw almost anything in perspective. And so to give you an example, I'm going to draw a street scene in one-point perspective. Now begin by lightly drafting in some construction lines. Here are just repeat what I had done in the previous example. Except this time I have an idea of what I want to draw. So I arrange these boxes with that in mind. This perspective lookout can then be used to draw everything more accurately. Remember that you can also move the vanishing point across the horizon line, changing the view of the drawing. As I create this drawing, notice how everything responds to the perspective that I applied. All of these different elements like the window on the buildings, street. All of it converges to the vanishing point. So once everything was constructed correctly, our begin to render the image. Must review like this is a common example of one-point perspective. If you were to go stand in a similar story in real life, you would see the same result. And that's what perspective is all about. It's about generating realistic space, turning a flat drawing surface and do a And dimensional world. So now let's take a look at another example. As always, I begin by establishing the horizon line and then our place a vanishing point on this line. Again, for this example, let's keep it in the center. Now I'm going to be drawing the interior of a building from a top-down view. And building plans are usually presented as flat projections, but seen as I'm drawing in perspective, this will be done three-dimensionally. Once I have created some walls around this room, which also establishes the floor, can start to draw in some object. Pay attention to how everything is directed to the vanishing point. All of this is being blocked in using basic shapes drawn out simple boxes is really useful because it allows you to construct more complex forms within them whilst keeping within the perspective that is applied. Lee's example we have taken a look at allow you to understand the potential drawings that can be created a simple one-point perspective. We will be exploring different techniques and methods throughout these lectures. So don't worry too much if a lot of these end up looking a little overwhelming. However, I'd encourage you to try and recreate some of these drawings. You'll find that it's actually pretty simple. You need only to focus on one vanishing point for this, and then resulting images can look great. We will continue to progress onto more complex techniques in later lectures. I hope you see a clear now, our next step is two points perspective. Soon Next to see what's that about? Forget die in order for you to practice on your own. Everything that was speeded in the course is available for you in real time, linked in a private video for you. Thanks for watching. See you next. 5. FINAL TWO POINTS PERSPECTIVE: Welcome everyone to another lecture in the perspective drawing course. In this lecture, we are going to be learning about two-point perspective. In the previous lecture, we had taken a look at one-point perspective. Meaning those drawings were created using only one vanishing point. And this one, we are going to be drawing using two vanishing points, two points perspective. So let's start with a simple example and draw out some boxes. Here I established the level of the horizon line. I'll just place it across the center and then I add two vanishing points. Now, for the purpose Example, I'm going to place them at ESI, do the edge of my drawing space. But it's important to realize that when drawing in perspective, you'll often find Dan, the vanishing points are away from the drawing space, meaning you'll likely have to estimate the convergence. A distance between those two points is important if they are too close together or even too far apart, good drone will be distorted. In this example, these points are fairly close together, but it shouldn't be too bad. A good way to deal with it is just to reduce the scale of what you are drawing. There is no rule or specific distance between these two vanishing points. You are free to work out what is suitable for your drawing. Here we can see how these boxes our conversion to both points. If we want to compare it to the example we had created to show one-point perspective. You'd notice that in two points perspective, all the facades are converging. Unlike in one-point perspective, where one facade remains flat. If we want to rotate one of these boxes, it would transition into two points perspective. So now that we have taken a look at usual box drawing example, let's create another drone. You'll find that most outward is done using two-point perspective. Here I am going to draw a building, use Indies two vanishing points. I begin by constructing some boxes and likely drafting eat some additional elements. Whilst considering the perspective here, I'm using a ruler and bringing my lines from each of the vanishing points. Also pay attention to how I draw, draw boxes, show when all the edges. And getting a better idea of the volume that I'm working. Wait, this is important when it comes construction, because I'm able to see through the box, I can easily build on this. And this is in two-point perspective. So we have both of these facades visible and converging to the vanishing points. Also notice how everything started to reduce in scale as it converges. This can easily be seen when I draw the window on this house. Now that I have accurately constructed the building into perspective, I start to work into this and rendered and drawing. So that is one example of a fairly simple drawing in 2 perspective. So now let's create another example. But this time I'm going to place one of the vanishing points away from the drawing space. This is often the case when drawing times both vanishing points are away from the drawing space. Meaning we'll have to estimate the direction of the conversion lines. I still begin by establishing the horizon line, knowing that the vanishing points will be positioned on that line, I'm able to jump right into the drawing by placing my first line. I'm already able to estimate the location of the first vanishing point. Remember, these parallel are directed to the vanishing point. So by taking a ruler and continue in that line, it assist me in making a good guess as I continue to draw. In this example, there is the left vanishing point visible and a drawing space. I have also placed the horizon line higher. So I am drawing this from a book. Like always, these simple construction line will allow me to draw this more accurately. Another useful thing to consider is that your lines, it will start to angle and level out horizontally as they get closer to that horizon line. Just knowing that will assist you greatly. There are technical methods and way to accurately work in a situation like this involving grids and more advanced techniques. I'll be covering those later in this course. For now, this example gives a good idea of what you can expect when drawing. It doesn't have to be a 100 percent accurate. If your ability to estimate the conversions is close enough, then to drawing should look correct. In some cases, you won't even have any construction lines. You might also notice that a lot of these early example remain very geometric, consisting of flat surface it and had edges. These subjects are often easier to draw in perspective. But as we progress through these court 2D section, we will begin to more organic shapes and forms. I hope now you see clear and you know the difference and when to use, if needed. For you to practice. All the videos are in real-time link in the description. Thanks for watching. See you next to learn about 3 perspective. 6. FINAL THREE POINTS PERSPECTIVE: Welcome everyone to another lecture in the perspective drawing course. In this lecture, we are going to be learning about three points perspective. And the last two lectures we had covered 12 perspective, taken a look at some examples. And this one, we are going to do the same for tree points perspective, meaning to draw and I will be creating here will be done using tree vanishing point. So like usual, let's start this off by drawing an arrangement of boxes and different sizes. Begin by establishing the horizon line. Instead of place in this across the center, I will place this higher-up on the drawing space. I didn't place a vanishing point at either side. The same way as I did when looking at two points perspective. But here we need to add another vanishing point. And you might be wondering, where does one goes. Well, it's going to be hard to show you because it's best to be positioned quite far away from the drawing space, away from the horizon line. To give you a better idea, here is a quick setup. Notice the position of the third vanishing point. This can be placed below or above the horizon line between the other two vanishing points. Now, this forms a triangle. And you want to try and get your drawing to be within that area as going too far outside could cause your drone to be distorted. For this example. That third vanishing point is going to be far away from the drawing space, meaning I'll be estimating the direction of my lines. As always, parallel lines converge to the vanishing point. And in this example, all these lines will be converging. As I draw in these boxes, notice how the vertical lines are angling towards that third vanishing point. Here. The third vanishing point is below your horizon line is higher. And so we will be drawing these boxes as if we are looking at them from above. And this view from above is emphasized by the use of that third vanishing point. I had begun the lecture on a 12 points perspective. The same way. Draw in an arrangement of boxes like this enables us to gain a simple understanding of how a drawing appears. For example, let's compare this with the drawing N1 and two points perspective. And notice the difference between all of D and a basic one-point perspective lines are either vertical, horizontal, or conversion towards the vanishing point. In two-point perspective, lines are around a vertical or converging towards the vanishing 0.3 perspective. All of these lines are converging towards those vanishing points. Let's create a drawing in three points perspective. Again, I will start with the horizon line and D and place the two vanishing points. In this example, I'll imagine the term vanishing point to be far away from the drawing space below the horizon line. I've also placed the left vanishing point away from this syndrome in space. And I've just direct some construction lines towards that right vanishing point is visible in this example. The vertical lines word seemed to angle as much further away you were deterred. Vanishing point is, in terms of vanishing points. The further apart they are, the closer your drawing appears as if captured through a telephoto lens. In other words, there will be less distortion. Draw an entry points perspective can make your drawing appear to be more dynamic. Here I begin to block out the drawing uses some boxes similar to what we had just done at the start of this lecture. Now, I'm going to draw a row of buildings. Notice how the angle of these vertical lines begin to fan out a lot more as I draw further away from the center. In terms of construction, I draw through these volumes, making sure that I can see all the sides and edges. This is a good habit to get into any will make it a lot easier when constructing more complex forms. Finally, once I had drawn this out, I start to render did wrong. I have to consider the perspective when everything that I draw here, because everything is converging to a vanishing point. As I add these details, I have to make sure they are working with the perspective that is applied. So that is a simple example for three points perspective. In the next example, let's try to draw the same row of buildings, but this time, let's place the horizon line lower down and have deterred vanishing point B above. Show you the difference. Here. I'm also going to place the left and the right vanishing points away from the drawing space. Although discussed in the previous lecture, you're often find that you have to make a guess when direct in your lines because the horizon line is lower down and a third vanishing point is higher up. Here it will appear as if I'm looking up at the subject that I'm drawing. This time to vertical lines seems to be angling inwards toward that third vanishing point above. This can be an effective angle to use when drawing various subject, such as vehicles and street scenes. Throughout these early lectures, the arm drawing mass simple subject as an example. But, but as we progress, we're discourse. I'll begin to cover more complex techniques and begin to draw more appropriate examples. Here I followed usual process of blocking these object in three points perspective before dinner begin to render dim in pencil. Well, the answer is yes. But let's just hold off for a while. We're still need to cover a lot of useful techniques and methods before we start approaching any of desktop or to add additional vanishing point. I hope you're enjoying the course so far. Our next step is a technique that will help you draw more accurately in perspective. And that is division and duplication. How exciting. The video will beleive it to one you fit March 2021. If you hear after dad just ignored angle watching. See you in the next lecture to learn more.
