The laser technique is what will determine the armature of the box. Yet the centre axis of yxz of the centre of the box will be the only true centre from which one can control the true position and subsequent rotation of the box. Just find the central point and the axis connecting it to the planes from the inside out instead of outside in and adjust the perspective... Every knowledge pours out of that foundational understanding...
Nice Job! I have been a fan of Leyendecker for 40+ years. I have a massive ephemeral collection of his published work in addition to original paintings. Contact me if you have an interest in doing some commission work of some other Leyendecker works.
This is a brilliant way of explaining boxes. There are so many deep concepts in here, it is breathtaking. And the presentation is top notch. The three basic types of boxes and the fact that front facing boxes are one point, edge facing are two, and corner facing are three point will revolutionize how I conceive of representing space. Thank you so much for the effort you put into this video! The organization of the ideas and the loopy number of perfect examples makes huge ideas obvious. You are helping thousands of people past roadblocks that very few teachers know how to guide students around. Bravo!
this really is such a nice down-to earth video. The real life examples and charming narration really make it feel like more of a "art is for everyone" vibe instead of the very dedicated art school grindset vibe :D
Well, that was obvious - and yet I hadn't seen it! Just knowing that someone obviously so intelligent has found learning perspective hard is hugely helpful. I have been struggling to understand perspective for about five years now so I can illustrate some written work. I actually started with the misnamed Norling book shown here. I progressed onto many others. As soon as I thought I had grasped it, I sat down at the blank canvas and it dispersed like a dream on waking. I too took some boxes and photographed them but failed to see what was going on because they were static images. Your glass box videos have been an inspiration to me. I have only just discovered Drawabox and I am going to hope that this will finally give me an intuitive understanding of what I need to do. Thank you so much for making this video., you have a real genius for making the impossible seem simple.
you just saved my life op, so many videos and exercises an this is the first one that made it all click. Also perspective made easy should be compulsory reading for every artist. thank you nd keep going
so many things I just knew in my head, but didnt think twice, but once I actually thought about those key points you made while sketching, things got much easier!
wow! You are the holy grail of over-view educators!!! I love how you used the word "You" instead of "I" to connect the viewwer with the concept in a working way. I love the real-life examples you provided, and the way you've organized your video.
I am watching this time to time as while drawing the box challenge I am actually losing my senses cuz I am just drawing distorted boxes till i see this
this is so much more than just tips, this should be supplementary material for lesson 1. it goes into so much depth while remaining very accessible with how you've used real life and digital references alongside your explanations. making informative tutorials about the technical aspect of art is no easy feat yet you've done it here with such excellence and charm, thank you for posting this
underrated video, I was expecting "rotation" to be an important topic in the the "draw box" course but its missing, its very relevant, no idea why its not explained like this video.
Thanks for this Kate. I feel stupid for not breaking down drawing simple boxes into simple concepts. Just been ramming my pencil head into paper hoping for something to intuitively click. I'm hopeful that you channel has other useful content I can check out :D (Plus thank you for all the reading and reference materials. I've just turned 30 and I'm trying to be more artistic because my younger self always assumed I had no 'talent')
This video was SO helpful! I'm currently doing the Drawabox challenge and it just wasn't clicking in my head for some of them but this video really helped me visualize the boxes better.
Good review, very helpful! And, I really like your channel, even so I found it only today😅. I think it's really like "artist's", I mean, you are an artist, but I just don't know how to say it.
Not only have you eased the intimidation I've been feeling just reading and hearing of the dreaded boxes, you've also planted the 'eye' in me. I will definitely observe the real word, and think of boxes and cylinders and shapes now.
beautiful and engaging presentation, you've made a complex and dull subject much more digestible, the real life examples and the see-through box especially helped
