Welcome to Drawsh Studio! Im an artist and an educator, and when I started making my living as a teacher I created drawsh.com as a way to share my lessons with everyone who wanted to learn. The blog kept growing, and the content expanded, and now I am excited to start the next chapter by sharing these videos with you. I hope these videos help you in your journey of making art. I would love to hear from you, leave me a comment, and if you enjoyed the videos please hit that like and subscribe button to let me know!
Where were you, when I took human anatomy class in medical school in 1994? I am here to teach my 14 year old daughter who competes in Science Olympia. Your video is so concise, accurate and very easy to follow. By the way in 1994, Amazon was selling books only and loosing $. Google ( of course you tube ) was not around yet. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
This is the best cross contours video I've seen. I wish there were more example I can draw. I feel discovering contours has put everything into place for me
I absolutely ADORE!! your muscle playlist! You break down the origins, insertion points and forms in such a digestible way it’s incredible! I’ve always loathed learning anatomy because it seemed too complicated in other videos and books but you’ve showed me it’s not actually that hard, it’s just the way it was presented that wasn’t for me :) thank you!
Oh wow. I multiply in the same direction as I want the cuts so there's two copies from either side and I draw a big x through the three, and where the x meets the original lines is where to draw the division lines for me.
bro although youre not uploading anymore, these video still help a lot for poor little souls that suffering from art, such as me. it almost feel like a premium content, you simplify the muscle but still with a stereo perception, even the goddamn landmark, its rather eazy to understand and faster than doing it myself
Awesome video! Just a question... for ellipses and circles placed in the horizontal plane how does this work?? are they the same in a 1 point and 2 point pespective? This is something I may be overthinking but I genuenly find no awnser anywhere
Really great videos and explanations provided. Received much clarity and yet going through your various videos. Thank you for helping get a much better handle on the subject without getting overwhelmed. Wish you the best.
Thanks to this video, I just realized that the vanishing points in two-point perspective always represent a 90 degree cone. I've worked with field of view in the past, when 3D modeling, but I've always placed my VPs arbitrarily when sketching. From now on, I'll be able to set up my page with care. Thanks!
I didn’t :) I just eyeballed a dimension the felt right for the design. If I needed them the same, there are tricks for repeating depth that could be used. I cover those in other videos.
@@DrawshStudioi found how to repeat depth with same pattern but if i draw front part like in this video but want to draw back part with some random block at middle i try repeat depth like your (lamp pillar) video it not the same.
Can anyone explain or link me a mathematical proof for why all sides have equal length. Also for some reason i can't quite wrap my head around circles in perspective to be perfect elipses. It feels like the part facing us has to little curvature compared to the face away from us, but i guess the elips is rotated just enough to cancel all that out?
I’m not sure what you mean by mathematical proof. In perspective, you can’t rely on mathematics because the variables are to numerous. For example, slightly higher or lower to the horizon changes things. So we rely on steps like this to create something correct in perspective. Ellipses are strange. But it is true they will be a perfect ellipse in linear perspective. Remember tho that linear perspective is an approximation of life to appear correct to our eyes.
@@DrawshStudio by mathematical proof I mean a reasoning for why all sides must be equal length. When I turn a cube in three dimensional space it corresponds with a unique projection on my retina, so surely there's some projective geometry thingy going on.
A cube by definition has equal sides. This method is a way to do that in perspective. The lines aren’t literally equal, but represent equal lengths in perspective.
I have had similar questions and I’m always a little confused by them. Perspective exists outside of mathematical numbers, it is sort of the point. When people ask this I’m always a little unsure of the concept in their mind they are looking for. But I wish you luck in your journey.
Generally perspective becomes distorted when it moves outside of the cone of vision. If that is what you mean then yes, it will still work but it won’t look correct to the eye.
Thank you so much for this video! The way it’s put together is super helpful. I understood the basic concepts, but being able to have the explanation and then see you translate it on to the page in real time was what I needed to fully understand the technique! Thanks again.
That’s because linear perspective is not real life. It’s a visual approximation. Everything depends on the system of the imaginary viewers distance to the picture plane (station point) which would be different than you holding a real cube in life. Also, this method gives a flat grid, not a perfect cube which is why I have another video on that topic.
Thank you very much. But there is a problem when I draw a 3-point perspective, when I rotate the x axis of the box (side view), the z axis will be tilted. At that time, the station point will be moved (I checked it with 3D software) and I don't know how to calculate the exact distance it moved. Do you know how to calculate it?
Yes but that is a complex topic that can’t be easily explained in a RU-vid comment. When transitioning into 3 point perspective there are different things we need to account for to get correct station points.
If they are in different angles to the viewer they would go to different vanishing points. Watch my perspective playlist for more Videos on how to construct more complex shapes.
First off, thank you for your valuable work. These videos are top quality. I have one question. Why does the lines crossing the stationpoint create vanishing points? What I know is that all parallel lines converge to unique vanishing points. But station point is below the picture plane! How can lines extended from the bottom of the picture plane affect the picture plane? In other words, what justifies the placement of station point below the picture plane? Sorry for weird phrasing of the question.
The station point is the distance the “viewer” is from the picture plane. Since we are viewing the world through their eyes their position changes everything. Like the video shows, the distance away in depth from picture plane can be represented also as a vertical measurement.
shot in the dark but, lets say i wanted to draw a 1'x1'x1' cube, where the front face was a square 1'x1'. How do you accurately draw the lines going back to the vanishing point so theyre also 1' as well (because of perspective theyd be obviously smaller then the lines for the front facing 1'x1'). I can't seem to figure this out. Thank you in advance if you come back to this comment!
My video on a perfect cube in space and perspective grids may answer that question. I recommend doing the perspective playlist in order and each lesson build in the one before
