This is a basic tutorial on how to draw a perfect cube in two point perspective.
Drawing a perfect cube in 2pt perspective is a fundamental concept, and it will allow you to maintain a selected unit (in metres, feet, inches, centimetres, etc...) across an illustration, and is just very useful to know in general when drafting
I also cover how to find a perfect station pt, and how to setup the measuring points properly

Gread job with the Distance Line and Measuring Points. Most RU-vid videos on 2 point perspective are half-assed and just eyeball things.

This should be a mandatory video that you're made to watch on your first day of art school. Six years I've been unable to get a clear answer, and suddenly... The world make sense for the first time.

thank you so much for this video, I have been racking my brain on how this should be done and everyone else uses the "eh this looks about right" method for placing the vertical. Unfortunately I am not smart enough to figure this method out on my own, but thats where people like you come in handy. -Much appreciated

Finally a clear and precise way of drawing a cube in 2vp perspective. Thank you very much. I have spent hours looking for something more precise than guessing the size of the perspective edges.

THANK YOU! After consulting various books and videos as to how to draw a CUBE in perspective (as opposed to another box shape) and trying different methods I was still missing a piece of the puzzle and none of my cubes were working. It turned out to be how to properly establish the Station Point! Your video made all the difference where others fell short :)

Thanks for the video! I bought a book on perspective and it frustratingly did not cover cubes, only boxes. You mentioned creating a time lapse to shorten the video: the crucial part for me (since I was already familiar with 2-point perspective) was the measuring points and using them to determine the length of the horizontal lines. Maybe make a video that emphasizes this and assumes the viewer knows the basic points of perspective. Just a suggestion. Keep making videos!

Wasn't easy to find, I tried to look for answers few months ago but found nothing useful. Now as I was looking for some other drawing tips a recommendation for another 2p perfect cube video popped up and through the comments I found your channel and this video. Better later than never I guess? lol. Awesome job btw, clear and useful.

For the purposes of this demo, I used Adobe Illustrator. You can download a trial from Adobe.com ; however, you don't need the software. You can do this with a pencil, paper, compass, a ruler, and, although it's not absolutely necessary, a set squares Triangle/Ruler.

I have a question: If my second box is the same size but not lined up with the first one, and still on the same table top. Also has different vanishing points. How do I situate it so to get it to be same size but different location? Do I have to set the distance between the vanishing points same and use the same station point? Pair of dice thrown on the table: How do you draw them?

Hey, great video. I have some photoshop questions though. when you draw a centered elliplse, how to you get the radius of the ellipse to extend all the way to the cursor. For me, I have to drag the mouse twice as far to draw a circle of the same size. Also, how do you get the shape, vertex, snap? thanks

I am actually using Adobe Illustrator in this tutorial. Adobe Photoshop is a great application for many different things, especially bitmap editing; however, with regard to vectors, Illustrator is a better tool.

Why does the station point have to be at a 90 degree angle to the VP's?
@anthonypace5354
@anthonypace5354 9 месяцев назад
it's not that it has to be 90 degrees to the vanishing point, it is that the connecting lines from the station point to the VPs have to be 90 degrees aka perpendicular to each other. There is tri-gonometry at work under the hood. You rotate your SP on the circle (where the diameter is from lvp to rvp) to maintain this relationship, so there is some predictability in the ratios of the angles around the VPs, making use of the fact all internal angles equal up to 180 degrees, as composed by the created triangle (the one representing the total field of view). If we go down the math rabbit hole it leads to S o/h C a/h T o/a , etc.
@theapexpredator157
@theapexpredator157 9 месяцев назад
Why do the connecting lines need to be at a 90 degree angle to one another and why do the combined angles of the VP's and the SP need to create a Right Triangle in order to create a cube?@@anthonypace5354

In Adobe Illustrator there is an option to change the style, for the stroke of the line. You will see it in the top left, usually, when you select the line with the arrow tool.

The boxes don't appear to be of equal size with the first...was that your intention?
@anthonypace5354
@anthonypace5354 9 лет назад
The reason the second cube appears smaller than the first cube, is because it is in scale with the first cube, but just further back in space. If you listen to the dialog in the video, you will hear me go over it. I hope that helps.
@rizzycat1-ViktorG
@rizzycat1-ViktorG 9 лет назад
Anthony Pace Hi Anthony! Irrespective of that I mean. I understand perspective gradation. The second box is correctly proportioned but I referring to the third one which you began highlighted after having skipped over the second one. I believe its just half there ... if you connect the mid points to confirm, etc.. Not complaining any more than simply wondering :D I think your tutorials are awesome !

LeonardosAttic The Red "X"?...If you follow along, you will see that I was intending to indicate the half way mark as an extra means of double checking, because I then find the midway pt for the back too, and check to see if everything lines up. You can ignore that extra step of check if it confuses you.
