Thanks so much for your tutorials. Especially when it comes to perspective, there are things one knows by instinct, but sometimes can't explain on paper. Your tutorial helped me greatly - before that the fisheye-effect was something I could never properly place.
I just found your videos and I can't wait to watch them all : ). I wanted a cintiq until I found out they you still need a computer nearby to use it :(. Hopefully, wacom has a trully portable version in the works.
Man thank u so much - really helpful! especially the last minute!!! things beginners don´t think of- that will help me in my drawingclasses next week!
Good, that there are people sharing their knowledge!! thanks again!
I hope you're not suggesting perspective always be drawn this way. It seems logical this is what our eyes actually see, but this doesn't translate to paper very well. The viewer of the drawing would have to be at the set position you made the "eye level", which is not at all practical.
I have to disagree with the first part of your tutorial where you are translating the cube UNLESS you're translating the cube AND turning the viewer's head simultaneously. I tend to believe that if you translate this cube from side to side without turning the viewer's head, it's front face should remain of constant dimension and orientation and that the cube's other sides will become visible as its edges vector off to the vanishing point. Nevertheless, I still greatly appreciate your tutorial.
Let's say you take a long rod and poke it through the cube(which is made of sponge) and then that rod runs through a universal ball-joint mounted at your point of view. As long as nothing shifts along the rod, you should be able to turn it in any direction without changing the appearance of the object other than turning it along the rod's axis. Man, I gotta invent some terms to describe these things.... Thanks for participating!
Yeah, I don't get your analogy, but I will take back my original disagree. I thought you were telling viewers to draw perpendicular surfaces as being skewed and foreshortened, but I think you were actually just applying your tunnel example to looking a cube at different distances and angles. Thank you for posting these!
The video suggests, when you draw lines from the head to the translated cube, that the direction of view remains forward and you're projecting lines back through a static image plane. This is confusing because in that case the front planes of the cube shouldn't change. But I think what's actually happening is the lines indicate changes to the direction of view and the cube is just foreshortening accordingly.
Are you sure about this? I'm a scruffy guy who hasn't had a shower in days, I blab nonstop about drawing, I'm self-employed(which actually means that money comes and goes), and worst of all I eat ice cream in the dead of winter. Sorry to break the gleaming bishōnen image...
It's not too late to learn! Everything that I have shown in my tutorials I figured out in this past year, and I never went to art school or had a formal drawing education.
thank you this is very helpful :)

This stuff is like first grade drawing techniques, but I never actually understood them fully until you explained it in these vids. Very awesome, 5*.

can i ask you where I can get the device you are using to do your tutorials? What is is called and where can I get one?

That looks like the software that comes with a wacom tablet. It might be called photoshop elements.

It's Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. You can download the trial version.

It is called a digital tablet. If you're just starting out, I suggest you check out the Wacom Bamboo Fun or Wacom Bamboo.

I didn't believe the cylinder thing at first, but it's true; I verified it with a pringles can.

Perhaps I should include some additional examples of the cube moving diagonally across the field of vision. Later episode!
