It was about time someone did a video about rotating objects in perspective. I've been searching for a good tutorial about the topic for ages but to no avail. Thank you very much for doing a video on this topic!

"any of the 3D modeling programs"...opens up minecraft

What a great time to be alive! YouTube is full of fascinating new things to study such as art, music and computer science tutorials! We'll be never bored to live our lives ever again. Thanks!

[Shka_maru]

Thank And finally someone tackles perspective and include the lens types. Took me a while but I taught myself about them, learned how to identify them looking at photography and movie stills and it was a game changer. Photography tutorials on lenses help dramatically.

[JessTheKappa]

The camera lens thing I didn't expect to be so useful, but drawing with a wider lense makes a composition look much more dynamic!

[HUNrobar]

I would like to add a quick note about lenses because I think it was confusing in this video - the focal length of the lens itself doesn't change perspective at all, only distance of the object does. There could be some lens distortion of course, but from the point of perspective there is no difference. The confusing part comes from mixing angle of view with framing. Where you drew cubes on the scale of wide-long lenses, you kept framing the same, so basically you put the camera closer with wide lens and farther away with long lens. A more realistic example would have been one cube with different cropping. Long lenses produce flat images because they zoom in so much that spectacular convergence is out of the frame. Feng zhu has a great video on this topic, or check out some photography tutorials. If you have a camera try photographing the same object from the same position with different focal length, then crop in the wider shot to match the longer. It will be very close.

This is such a great summary of camera angles. I love that you covered perspective, rotating your subject, distortion and effect of different lens on your subject. A lot to learn but a very good starting point in creating a storyboard or from the imagination.

[damiangacic]

One of the apects of perspective that often gets left out or brushed over in many tutorials.
Great job explaining it.

[hausofone]

He lost me fast. But I'm grateful

[fabiofilocamo]

Great tutorial!The explanation for lens lenght is often brushed over and it actually is essential to understand perspective. Also kudosa for the relaxing background music

[MrElliotholman]

I arrogantly thought I would find the box exercise trivial. I DID NOT! Great little exercise that’ll keep working at, thanks for the upload and the whole series.

[shadydragon]

I really can't express in simple words how thankful I am for your existence
I feel so appreciative holy shit
please please never stop uploading those videos and if you need to u can take a break just don't ever get sick of it

[TheLYagAmi]

these are the best tutorials out there for fundamentals

[everydaybodybuilding]

Look at you even uploading on thanksgiving what a saint

[twonamedblack]

These perspective tutorials are all very useful ! my only problem is since your talking over pre recorded footage sometimes it's hard to tell what part of your drawing your talking about although it might just be me

[alexcanniccioni]

That is exactly what is missing from all these "learn to draw in perspective" tutorials that only show you how to draw perfectly 90 degrees angle shapes.

Need to wrap my head around these concepts, doing rotations in 2pt perspectives is a lot to process for my brains!

[Shabazza]

Boy, I've seen this topic explained wrongly or needlessly complicated a ton.
Thanks for this sleak tutorial for rotating forms.
It's what I needed to draw objects rotated out of the main VP grid.

[anzatzi]

Best MDJ video I've seen. Great job!

[improvementTime..]

1:10 when you rotate in xz plane you create a new set of VPs that are unique from the previous rotation

[VeryBlueBot]

this series is pure gold.. Im making screen shots and posting on Pintrest so Ill have those for ref when I practice if you don't mind. Mentioning your YT user name and linking the relevant video always.

This is top quality stuff thank you
