The Easiest Perspective Tip - This is the technique I always use.

Nobody should have a problem with perspective with such an easy and simple technique available to get it correct every time! This is how Stephen achieves his apparently effortless perspective accuracy. The only problem you may have with it is taking it seriously and putting it into practice because it is so deceptively simple. Put it to the test in your next drawing. And there is a bonus tip at the very end - really an extension of this tip - which may similarly revolutionise your location sketching.

Thank you Stephen for this video and all of your perspective videos. I cannot begin to express to you how helpful they are to me as I am new to drawing. I understood perspective (after watching hundreds of videos and taking classes), but I have never been able to equate it to anything I wanted to draw. This information is so eye opening and helpful. Thank you!

Thank you Stephen, I feel I have the blessing of a master! Of course I always knew about perspective, eye lines and all of that malarkey. Never had any real difficulty with it. NOW, at 85yrs, realise I’ve actually been using your method most of the time!! Always loved drawing buildings, must get going again. My art group is about to start on plain air for the summer in our beautiful part of Britain. Beach huts, bridges and boats. Lovely.🇬🇧😀👩🏻‍🎨

Great advice from an obviously genuine pro.

I subscribed. When you were at 4:14 minutes and had sped the video up to get all those lines in I just wanted to do that. It looks so relaxing to just draw lines but with a goal in the end that's real pretty. As for the perspective, I've not even given it this much thought. No wonder my husband thinks I'm a complete ding dong.

Great tip and one I will find much simpler. I recognised the photo straightaway. The Shambles. I was born and brought up in York. 😊

Muito especial, a perspectiva se torna um grande obstaculo ao meu desenho urbano. Fundamental suas instruções. Muito obrigada

Thank you! As always helpful and beautiful . I was interested if you could give us some tips when the reference is much smaller than the drawing ? (As I usually use my phone for the photos)

Hi Stephen,
I am a beginner in drawing and your videos are very helpful for me. But there are so many tutorials that I don`t know which ones are the best ones to start drawing with.Maybe you have a tip for me and I`m glad I found you on YouTube. Petra from Germany 🙂

Great video again....taking your perspective course.
Can you tell us what pen you are using?

[charlz]

Thank you for this great video, but is there anyway you can transfer the angles from a laptop screen to paper with a pen/pencil.

Hi Stephen, I'm a beginner to drawing. This technique might be useful but seems like it only works when you're trying to copy exactly what's in the reference?
You said that you've done hundreds of scenes like this but what's the context in which the work is done? Do you just copy the scene or try to modify them afterward?
If you want to modify the scene, why worry about getting the correct angles?
Thank you.
