I have a question, i just dont get it.

when u draw the shadow of the sun the SVP is an the horizon, ok. But when you draw the other light source, how do u know how far the SVP is away from the light??? Why isnt the SVP on the horizon again???

The SVP of a natural light source (i.e. sun, moon, exploding star) is always going to be on the horizon because it emanates from the source and the horizon is "our" cut off point. On the video, the svp of an artificial light source is always going to be directly below it on the ground. The way I chose the svp is to imagine how high my lamp was from the ground and "make" a decision where it was going to be in relation to the building. These are arbitrary decisions. I hope this helps. Ed

The video is good. But very very confusing. Because you've used too many lines. Might i suggest other colours? Or play with opacity. Cause this tutorial might help those that already get the grasp of perspective. but not for the beginners who just started.

for the second light you should have used a different colour caused there are too much lines and construction going on...good demonstration though...by the way what version of photoshop had you used?

I think I heard sun as light source create shadows whos sides do not converge? I think maybe it would be because the sun is so big and far way? Marc

maybe you should explain what you are doing and why for beginners, rahter than play music.
