Nice simple observation about the 1/3 diagonal intersection and the tangents in the middle of the edges. Besides convergence to the vanishing points, there is an interesting property about the diagonals, which is similar to how hexagonal prisms are checked. Because the tangents of the ellipses and squares are half-subdivision of the grid squares, the parallel lines across two pairs of tangents will also converge into the same 45 deg VP. In a true square grid, all the parallel diagonals (of each square on the grid) vanish in a single point, which lies on the same horizon as the VPs. This is called the 45 deg VP, because it equally divides the 90 deg angle of the squares. If all the parallel diagonals don't converge into a single point, it is not a true square grid, but some sort of rectangle. The position of the 45deg VP is chosen between the two VPs (once and the same for all squares) related to the location of the station point (making 90 deg between the two VPs, which is also equally divided by the line from SP to the 45 deg VP).
Hmmm, a little Piranesi-esque, I see. Great stuff. (I just made up that word but you're wecome to use it! 😂 Question: I notice in many of your videos that your hand is often hovering above the paper, even when drawing a straight line or adding a detail. Did you just start doing that at some point during your studies, or, say, after your freezing Flatiron experience? Or is it something you were taught? I tried doing the same, at least on long lines, and it actually works pretty well. Seems to force you to draw more from the shoulder instead of the hand which I guess you're supposed to do. (?) I sure hope you can get to the States soon to hold some workshops. Thanks, Luke
I need help with the initial square in perspective. I get that the second square is based off the first square. But how do you know how far along to put the second line to make the first square? (I’m trying to draw a bunch of different sized cylinders stacked on top of each other but they are all warped)
Luke, where is this beautiful tree? It caught my eye as it looks just like the white leaved oak, please google if you don’t know. Honestly they’re almost identical. Love love love your work ❤
Would love it if you could explain an accurate approach to creating circles and squares in perspective. I know there are many methods out there, but no one actually seems to explain why their method is correct. Btw, interesting use of wavy lines...
You're the sole reason I started taking a sketchbook on any of my travels...alot to learn and a long way to go but I absolutely love doodling out and about!
❤❤❤❤ It's so exciting to watch the video with amazing natural scenery and a little bit scary feeling like a mysterious place where fairy tales come from. (Love you)😊
❤❤❤Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It's really valuable for anyone who wants to learn how to draw well. I'm learning to create comics so perspective is very important. I wish you good health and happiness. Hope to always see you here and I really admire your drawing
