A New Way to Understand Perspective 

Thanks Andrei. I've made a second video now on this with more examples if you're interested. :)

@@stephentraversart thanks, I just got into art and I loved finding out your channel! Also, merry Christmas

@@warx1680 Really pleased to hear you're finding the channel helpful. Thanks for telling me. :)

Great. Understanding the theory is helpful if we are creating scenes from our imagination, but the patterns are still the same, whichever way we are drawing. Glad to hear you're on a perspective-turbo boost! :)

Very encouraging of you t tell me this. Thank you MJ. :)

Glad it was so helpful for you Mike. Please tell your friends. :)

That’s a great comment to hear Ing, and it’s the effect I was wanting the video to have. 😀

Glad it was so helpful. Get ready for a lot of serious fun drawing 😀!

Your enthusiasm is very encouraging, thank you Liana. :)

Thanks Deni. I've just posted the second one in this series if you're interested. Looks at more complex patterns. :)

I always love to hear this. Thanks Suden. 😀

So encouraging to hear that Rei. All the best with your drawings. Please tell your friends about my channel. 😀

Really glad to hear that Sedi. I have a perspective playlist, but otherwise try the videos on the things you want to work on. 😀

Good to hear it made such sense to you. All the best. 😀

Thanks Petre. I appreciate the encouragement. :)

My pleasure. Appreciate your thanks. 😀

That's great Alan. I've just posted a second video like this on perspective but with more complex examples. :)

Thanks Catherine. I've always been a pragmatist I guess. :)

Really glad you found it helpful Dick. Have fun drawing. 😀

That’s kind of you to say and do. Thank you. 😀

What a pleasing comment to read. thanks you Fatma. :)

I always love to hear the videos are helpful. Thanks Dedemittua

Love your enthusiasm! Thanks, and have fun drawing. 😀

Glad it was helpful Husna 😀

I have a perspective playlist if you’re interested in more perspective videos. 😀

I think understanding the technical framework can be helpful, because it gives us clues what to expect, but when we draw, we usually rely on observation, and I find observing the patterns a way to help me see and remember more accurately. :) .

My pleasure Yasmi. I have a few perspective playlists if you’re interested in more on this topic from me. Have fun with your drawing. 😀

That’s very encouraging to hear Stella. Thanks 😀

Great to hear. Glad it’s helpful for you. 😀

Great to hear it’s helpful Deepak. Thanks. 😀

Thanks Mona. 😀

Appreciate your telling me Marián. Great to hear v😀

Thanks Kati. That’s very encouraging to hear. No, I don’t have a book, but there are 50 videos on my RU-vid perspective playlist. Check it out. All free. 😀

Thanks Sajeesh :)

Well, it does to me, and I'm glad it does to you, as well. Thanks. :)

Glad I’m not alone. That’s great Nickela

Thanks Deepak.

Think of it as a type of eye level, but instead of sitting as a horizontal line, it is vertical. But like eye level, it is directly in front of the eyes (or camera). Just as horizontal lines increasingly tilt as they move above or below eye level, so vertical lines tilt more and more as they move to the left or right of this vertical line. It’s the same thing. If you turn your paper 90 degrees, the vertical line looks and works like a normal eye level. Does this make sense?

@@stephentraversart thank you, I was going to ask just the same question! I guess the vertical lines looked parallel to me but actually they are not :)

True. Or we can think of it as an average adult head height. I think there’s a child in my thumbnail😀

This video is about seeing the patterns in perspective to help understand and anticipate what happens. But if you are copying from a photo or drawing from life, we can also just copy what’s in front of us as accurately as we can. Why not try doing that, and not worrying about perspective theory? All the best Dylaney.
