Hi Dan. I am a 73 yr old lady and really enjoyed your tutorial on perspective drawing, but will need to revisit many times l think to grasp the understanding and retain the knowledge which is not going to be easy at my age😵‍💫 hopefully I will get there 🙏 Thanks for the lesson.

My goodness, out of all the perspective tutorial I watched, this is the easiest to understand and answered most of my questions. Thank you so much for uploading this video! This is a big help for me since I just had the courage to tackle on perspective.

I can't believe this video only has 12.000 views.
Absolute gem. Thank you.

Very lucid. Perspective is something I always struggled with and could not grasp how a vanishing point is created. Really appreciate your great tutorial . Bless you.

Finally! Perspective explained in a way I can understand! Showing how eye lines affect horizons and detailing VP is super helpful. Repeating a couple of times that all these elements are determined by the artist rather than the artist being forced to conform to measured VP and perspectives is exactly what I needed to hear.

I beginning to think this channel is underrated.

Thanks for the rare knowledge.

Most useful video for understanding the logic of how perspective is derived from our real vision. Super helpful for understanding how to apply perspective when trying to draw from life. Too many basic "1, 2, 3 point perspective" videos out there. This is what people truly need. Thank you for taking the time.

You're an awesome teacher and very wise and informative for your years! Keep it up Dan!

So enlightening! Looking back, it makes perfect sense that the vanishing points move as you rotate a cube, but it had never occurred to me before. Thank you for making this guide! It's a big help wrapping my around around perspective, which is really challenging for me

[norinthewild]

Wow, guess I know where I'm gonna be headed to understand perspective. You can really see his firm grasp and understanding of the subject

[aayushaggarwal]

I was getting so confused due to the relation of eye level plus line of sight and the object we are trying to focus on.. Thank you for giving a clear and simple explanation. :)

[narasimmanv]

This is probably the most complete one perspective (at least for beginners). At the same time, it's easy to understand. Wonderfully simple explanations but explains everything in a clear and coherent way. Thank you very much!

[asimian]

This is absolutely the best video I've seen explaining the horizon line and vanishing point. You are far better than any teacher I've ever had.

[paulajenkins]

I have the worst time for some reason with VP and you have just made my day. So understandable, can't thank you enough.

[R.K.]

This is incredible knowledge. Thank u Dan!

[maayanon]

You literally heard my request! You're amazing!
I will watch it soon!
