A year later and this video is still a fantastic way of understanding the geometry of a box in a large amount of depth without being overwhelming, great stuff!

@Gobbledygook30 Месяц назад

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.

@LearnerChess Месяц назад

That's what I was thinking. I haven't heard second person narration in a very long time.

@idraw4119 Год назад

I don't really comments, but I had to after watching this video, one of the best if not the best art video ever made! The way you discribed using real world example and the amount of effort you must have put into making this is mind-blowing. I hope to see more of such videos in future. Hats off to you!

@kate.elisab Год назад

Aww thanks so much! I really appreciate the feedback, it's motivating to hear comments like these 🥰

@adn1145 2 месяца назад

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

@ThatPash Год назад

Too helpful. Too good. Too entertaining. I am suspicious of such good video. It is 2am, i should really stop thinking about boxes

@kate.elisab Год назад

Hahah hope you got some sleep 😴

@user-vx5ml5oj3e 2 дня назад

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!

@vokey8827 3 месяца назад

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

@user-wo6hm8iu9x Год назад

this is SO underrated! So much effort has been put into this and you explain it so nicely! really helped with my understand of boxes. Congratulation on the amazing content!

@kate.elisab Год назад

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! Glad to know the video was helpful to you!

@FFabianoFonseca Год назад

Yeah. Me too. Generosity

@henrique88t 2 месяца назад

This is easily one of the best art tutorials I've ever seen. So much information thickly condensed, not a second going to waste.

@reubenyarwood2522 Год назад

Thanks for taking the time to make this! I was literally on 144 boxes and feeling a bit fed up/not really getting it. Really useful grounding it in real life objects and seeing the 3D grid.

@kate.elisab Год назад

Hahah neat you were on 144 boxes! Glad the video was useful to you 😊

@aashishhumagain2559 3 месяца назад

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.

'How to with John Wilson' meets an art tutorial. Great work

@heartemoji9816 Год назад

I am like many in this comment section and don't usually comment, but this was so helpful!! I was REALLY struggling to understand some things but you explained it in a way that clicked. Thank you!! going into perspective / this box challenge with a lot more confidence now 😂

@DrawingSources-wm9zu 2 месяца назад

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.

@ukuleleextracheese7903 9 месяцев назад

I have watched several "box drawing" videos. I find this one to be especially helpful. You have clarified several things and answered questions that I didn't know I had. It looks like it was a lot of work to make. Thank you for making it. You rock!!!

@evrmrn4996 Год назад

I'm very lucky to have watched this video before I did the 250 box drawing challenge. This is a really great video. Thank you for that.❤

@kate.elisab Год назад

Glad it was helpful! ❤️

@asseroy 10 месяцев назад

As a maths and art enthusiast, your video is a literal GEM to me I rlly can't thank u enough for making it happen 🙏💛

@juice8769 8 месяцев назад

I stumbled upon this video before starting my 250 box challenge and was pleasantly surprised to find a John Wilson fan :) Thank you for making this!

@joewang1417 Год назад

i cant stop seeing boxes everywhere when i step outside now. 10/10

@kate.elisab Год назад

Hahah love it. 10/10 comment

@Gossamer24 2 месяца назад

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.

@Guardian_Sol 2 месяца назад

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')

@pentachronic 11 месяцев назад

The challenge should have been the 256 box challenge. A perfect square!!

@skepticalpanda8862 6 месяцев назад

a lot of this was stuff I've already noticed but it's REALLY amazing to have it articulated so clearly! I spent a lot of time in high school and college drawing boxes on grids but I feel like it's time to do this challenge again and really refresh and revitalize my understanding of perspective.

@constellation-mr7ui 5 месяцев назад

come here again just want to say thank you😭this video really helps clarify boxes in 3d space. I was still a bit confused during 250 boxes challenge after watching it, but during 250 cylinder challenge I started to visualize how planes rotate just the way you have shown in this video. it was of tremendous help and deserves more views

@elianramos918 3 месяца назад

Well isn't this just a gem of a video, thanks for the effort big dog

@TheChillennial 2 месяца назад

This is a very amazing video and I hope you never stop making art. Also I can tell a lot work went into this and it is much appreciated.

@astertataricus. Год назад

Thank you soo much for this!! It’s so simple and concise and with a lot of visual aid, it was exactly what i was looking for to lay down my foundation of perspective

@lunawolfe7082 Год назад

I love the way perspective is examined and explained in this video, its so helpful to have a new way of understanding it and I love the real world examples and the how the video itself is reay artisticly made ❤️ thank you!!

@kate.elisab Год назад

Thank you for the lovely comment!

@poireauter2136 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for making this video!! English isnt my first language so I found it hard when reading the original instruction TT I understand it after watching ur video. Lovee youu and hope u have a nice day

@d0pesmoker 9 месяцев назад

I've been learning to draw after a really long time of wanting to but putting it off and have been doing drawabox and found this video a week or two ago and after watching it more than I care to admit, I think i'm getting a good general idea of what's going on. This is a really well put together video and I really appreciate you taking the time to make it!

@itsNIC0Y 9 месяцев назад

One of the best explainations out there. Thank you so much

@fronknstine 8 месяцев назад

Great instructional video, with a wealth of reference examples from the outside world. I particularly like the use of the clear cube, smiley sticker, and edge and face tapes/sheets. I had bought such a cube, but was finding it difficult to see the differences in edge lengths and angles to each other. Your use of the background reference 'cross hairs' makes it much easier to see these. A lot of thought and work went into making this video, and they've paid off - thank you.

@Ttea83 4 месяца назад

This is a true gem! Thank you so much

@obscurecult 28 дней назад

Perfect explanation, thanks! One thing I find hard to understand is how vanishing points move when the box moves to a corner facing position.

@MH-lr6ue 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video. I now know i can check angles when drawing boxes ..ill come back to study this periodically!!

@ashtonphoenyx Год назад

This video has done the best job in explaining and helping me understand perspective. I'm still pretty lost on somethings, but this definitely helped a ton. Thank you very much! 🙏🏽

@kate.elisab Год назад

Aww glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words!

@Kade10101 Год назад

I have been struggling with understanding perspective for a while now and this is by far the most concise and easy to understand explanation i have seen. Thank you for this, i will be sure to check out the rest of the videos on your channel. Keep up the good work!

@kate.elisab Год назад

Hey thanks so much! I'm working on making new videos soon 😊

@slamotte Год назад

Thank you. I feel like this gives direction to the challenge vs just drawing all those boxes aimlessly. This was so helpful and motivating.

@kate.elisab Год назад

Ah perfect! That's exactly what I was aiming for 😄 Good luck in your art learning!

@louiseebutuoy5415 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for this!! Super helpful, and really well explained! Thinking about boxes like this made it a lot easier for me to draw them!

@malika_gennadevna 9 месяцев назад

This was extremely helpful, especially because of your honest take on your personal journey in learning, it allowed me to connect to yours explanation in an emotional way WHICH also was helpful I am sure

@RenaHauugu 4 месяца назад

Thank you for this video! I'm going to use it to reference it for drawing boxes and I hope I am able to improve in my drawing ability!

@notafan1275 5 месяцев назад

Brilliant video! It would be helpful even without the 250 box challenge, but that's how found it. Not sure whether I'll do them all, but I feel I have now a better understanding of perspective and how it changes with the positions of viewer and object.
