Introduction To Perspective

Discount Code: DAVIDFINCH

This video is all about the absolute basics of perspective drawing. We use simple block forms to help understand horizon, perspective points, and some common perspective problems. I had some trouble breaking down some of the concepts in ways that I was sure that everyone would understand, and I found an incredible video by Dan Beardshaw. Here's a link!

Thanks so much for watching! If you enjoyed, please hit like and subscribe, and share with your friends.

Dave I think I could watch you talk about perspective a hundred times and still get some new information from it every time.

I would say this is the best lesson I've seen on perspective. Puzzles me why many schools can't teach it as well.

Thanks David. Right on time, as I've been watching your perspective videos over, and over, and over again for quite some time. And now I have a new one to digest. It's 5AM here and my day is already fulfilled :)

I've been watching you for many years now and it surprises and delights me how much time and energy you put into helping to teach others. You're a wonderful person and an amazing artist! Thank you so much for your continued generosity with your time and knowledge! We're very blessed to have you here!

Absolutely brilliant, tried calling my cousin and niece who are architects, only couldn't get hold of them, but thankfully I found you! 💕 Thank you so much. 💡🙂

After so many years that I've tried to find something that would really help me with perspective, nothing has ever given me as much clarity on the topic as much as this video has! Thank you so much!!

[Robart]

Thank you so much for these tutorials. Even though I am aware of these rules, the techniques you use are so friendly to watch and learn they enhance my drawings so much!

Perfect timing! I just started learning Perspective very seriously and you've given me a lot of tips to improve it. Thank you so much!

[MightyR]

Spectacular tutorial!! I like that you adding in the 2 and 3 point perspectives. It helps alot. Thanx David!!

[alphinart]

If I ever needed you to upload a tutorial video to improve me personally as an artist, this is the one!! Most of my struggles have been with perspective. Thanks Dave!!

[gers.world]

Dave you have the best timing I was literally looking up perspective courses earlier today, delighted to see your video for sure I'm going to draw along thanks for the great video!

[TheChillennial]

Love your videos.
So informative with good examples.

Most other perspective tutorials are just like here is 1, 2, 3 point. Done.

The nuances, pitfalls, distortions, even literally showing where the head is looking makes things a lot simpler to understand.

So I have already watched so many artists talk about perspective and I understood the concept of it but still, it was hard for me to put it on paper. I feel the way David has explained all the points, especially thinking this from the camera's perspective, really helped me understand how it will look on paper. Now it is much easier for me to visualize it. so thank you, David!

I cannot thank you enough for this. I didn't understand how the perspective line would change with different camera angles and I also didn't know the little trick for spacing out objects like the poles at 4:38, so thank you for those tips! This video is really helping me rn, because I'm trying to draw a rooftop view background and well it wasn't going amazing until I saw this video.

Can't wait for the next video where you will explain the mentioned "tilted cubes". Every time perspective is taught with all the cubes parallel to each other, but very few teachers get to the step where vanishing points start to slide on the horizon line for those tilted cubes. Thanks David !

I've found through much of my research on many topics that many people know their jobs so well they forget what it's like to not know and inadvertently leave out critical information. As boring as perspective points and drawings may be to a seasoned pro like yourself, I'm not a seasoned pro and you've helped me in that regard with its video. Thank you

[Gomrund]

I'm so happy you've decided to cover this topic, I was looking for the youtube artist who would be able to explain it the way you do it, thank you sooo so much for constantly providing so much quality content on your channel, you are the best 🙂

[peanuts]

I've tried to learn this from like 10 different people and this finally made me understand perspective at least pretty well, great video

[Headtalk]

Around the twelve minute mark when you drew people in, that’s the best visual aid for perspective I’ve ever seen. It really made it click for me
