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.

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

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!

if only our teacher in school could explain things like u can, i might have ended up drawing ;-)

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.

Thanks for startling me at 0:51 :/

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.

Thanks again!

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*.

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.

[MaplePuw0nage]

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