Stephen reveals the personal technique he developed for his own drawing to avoid making this most common perspective mistake. This video starts with analysing a drawing to see the mistake clearly, and it is then redrawn highlight the difference correct perspective makes. Stay for the end when Stephen's personal method of ensuring correct perspective is revealed. You may never have a problem with this again.

Been getting into urban sketching lately(something I’ve been putting off for a while because of my abysmal sense of proportion), and I’ve been having a lot of trouble trying to get all the buildings to align after I finish drawing each part because I already make the lines either too vertical or too horizontal

Never occurred to me that I should’ve just drawn a guide and use that as a starting point

This helped a lot, thank you

You know that moment when, after 100 people have explained a concept to you, and then out of the blue that one person explains it in the exact right way for your brain to grasp it.
Yes, just had that moment.

I had the first mistake happen to me just today lol. I had decided to sketch out a city scene and when I put a perspective grid over the top of my image to check it I had my roof and overhangs and windows at different angles lol!

There are multiple vanishing points depending on the angle of surface.

I’ve been sketching the building affected by the Turkey earthquake. Do you have any classes on post-earthquake sketching?

This vid comes in correct time i tried for many days to do drawing many columns but i always failed 🌝 i will try this technique sir 🙏

[bobxbaker]

the thing i usually get wrong just because i never think about it is the distance between same size objects going towards a vanishing point, like windows, i always measure them equal distance when i should make them thinner and smaller distance between them the further away they get.

Your videos helped me so much to understand perspective better, which is something I've always struggled with in my drawings, so thank you! 🙏 Maybe its a dumb question, but does the principles for perspective work the same way no matter what you draw? Say if I wanna draw an animal for example. Or is there something more you have to take into consideration then?

I guess once you get perspective mastered, then you can play with Escher ideas.

You have so much videos but if you can organise a video and then list videos one should watch in sequence to understand perspective
