How to Draw The Figure in Perspective - Foreshortening 

Me: How do I draw in perspective This video: To draw in perspective, draw in perspective

Thanks for the video! It kind of helped a lot. But I do think you focused too much on the definition and not so much on the "how to...".

Uhh thanks? I know what foreshortening is I want to know how to use it properly

Alright I know what it is, I see that it distorts....now HOW DO I DO IT?

Mine just looks like a tiny person

thoses are quite easy poses you show here, but what about dynamic pose draw in perspective ?

I literally looked away for like 5 seconds and when I looked back he had drawn a full on person 🥲🤣

this helped instantly, the geometric shape thing instantly let me correct my mistakes

Sometimes when I want to draw a scene or story I cant decide on an angle or distortion . Your video gives me ideas and thats awesome to remember for scene sketches

This was an amazing turtorial and when u mentioned the 3D shapes, it clarified SO MUCH this video deserves 2 thumbs up from me (sadly that's not possible) thank you so much for your help!

Using geometric shapes to set the contour lines of the body along with lines for the stick-figure, do you have suggestions on how to use the cross-contour lines to define & maintain the proportions of the body while drawing in perspective? As this video defines foreshortening, would you consider following it with one which demonstrates how to determine correct/better/more precise line length(s) when drawing In perspective?

Thanks. This really helped. I've chosen a difficult subject to draw that combines a number of perspectives (a humanoid body holding a spear). I've tried this technique and it's really coming together now.

Appreciate the effort, but I didn't find he video helpful cos it just highlighted what foreshortening was and it's definition... But didn't explain how to use it apply it... I guess this is for super-beginners?

To me it helps a ton to draw the limbs head and so on as diffrent boxes because what makes perspektive work is knowing wich plane is more visible and how much. You cant draw a nose normally if you look ok to a figure because the nose is not only much smaller but also the downside is the only visible plane. It helps me also greatly when i draw all 3 axes as a little side note and put a simple small box in it to remind me the exact angle

don't blame him for your lack of comprehension, he said the key to foreshortening if you didn't understand that's on you, this was really helpful!

Great video! Definitely elevates some of my anxiety about drawing in perspective.

I’m going to need a lot of practice~

Thank you for this lesson, my friend! Compact and easy to understand! Subbed.

Damn dude. Seriously. It was so simple yet helped so much

omg i really needed this THANK YOU

thank you for the video. despite what others are saying this really helped me especially when you were talking about using the geometric forms

excellent video! turning the body parts into shapes was very clarifying to me, before that i only did the stick man for the body lol. its a shame that many people didnt comprehend it :/ but great work!! thank you!!!

Whenever I see any tutorial on RU-vid I always think How they do it it is so simple but it's tuff

Wow your videos are amazing! just watched the gestures video and now this one and i was about to give up trying to do figures but these helped me so much and made it seem so simple, thanks! all ive ever done are landscapes but this is a great start to body gestures and perspective, thanks!

Are you the guy from terrible writing advice? This is not an insult it's a channel on youtube and your voices are similar

Excellent advice. Thank you. Can't wait to put this into practice.

Guys he is showing HOW he's just explaining the definition of the word WHILE he is showing HOW to draw it. He explained the coils and stuff. That isn't the DEFINITION, that is HOW you draw the guidelines. Oml.

That's probably one of the most important basics

Good day to you my friend, I want to thank you, this will help, I love learning about new tricks so I can get better at it, again, thank you for sharing xo

Sketch a lot and you will get it,enough of your sarcasm, I'm defending the tutorial instructor, he explained it clearly, if you don't sketch a lot you will never get Iol

How do you exagerate with foreshortening?

Right when i watched this i knew how to do it already. Thx man ur the best.

the accent is so *cheff kiss* 👌🏻

I recommend Sycras video on this topic.

Was searching for these type of videos . Smmmmmh...

Thank you for the information.

This helps a ton. Thank you!

I needed this like HELLA NEEDED THIS.....*LIKE HELLA NEEEEEDDDDEEEEDDD*

I can't figure out where you're from bc your accent is partially northern and partially southern lol. the southern seems to leak through as if it was there first.

Would it be the same if I distort my sketches in a vertaling perspective. Using the tool on pro create?

thanks for the clear tutorial👍

No disrespect. But you didnt tell us how to calculate or any technical tips to draw. I would really appreciate if someone could provide a link which shows how to calculate the size of lines in different perspective. Thanks

Thanks for explaining this, very helpful!

Thank you! Need to view it again 👍🏼

How do you measure the amount of distortion required for foreshortening?

thx this was my homework for Art

What a soothing video

I got what I wanted and I am not disappointed👍

This vid helped a ton, thank you so much

Thanks, got what I was looking for.

Thanks for sharing this. I'll try this. 😊

This video help me a lot. I'm still not good at thought of a new figure pose,not to mention adding some Foreshortening. :(

Great video :) your voice is really nice, too.

That was very helpful. Thanks

I totally missed this lesson because of trying to figure out what kind of accent he has..

Thanks, this was really helpful!

thanks for your video. nowadays i am getting into learning drawing with your video:). Your video is really helful for me. But i think your video is too fast to follow for beginners. . .

Thanks for the help.

Very useful, Thank you!

What brush do you use? And is there one similar on procreate??

I like how some people say this video is "useless" or "shitty". Well then you didn't comprehend the shape tip part, because yall can't sketch smh

Okay I really really think this video helped a lot ty

Thank you!

"I KNIW THE DEFINITION BUT HOWWW?" What do u mean how??? He showed u how. Use basic shapes (cylinder), body parts close to the camera are bigger or longer , those far are shorter and smaller...ez

Thank you so much! that was so useful🙏

Thank you for making this :)

Feel like I just got a perspective lesson from Leslie Jordan. 😂 In a good way though. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing this!!!!

A test question I got wrong was about defining foreshortening.

Can you do a video on foreshortening for female bodies?

Let's practice together ❤️

Thank you alot this really helped me!

Are you drawing with a mouse on a monitor screen btw ? I'm thinking of turning to digital art so I'm just curious if drawing using a mouse would work 😺
