Two-Point Perspective Drawing Made Simple

It’s time to dive into Two-Point Perspective! When we rotate a box, we need to add a second vanishing point. Understanding this will give your drawings more depth.

I'll demonstrate how changing the placement of the vanishing points affects the angle of the box and how to converge your lines when the vanishing point is far away outside of the page! I'll also share a few practical tips and common mistakes to avoid, like top planes that look too flat and edges that don't align right.

I just don't understand. I've read at least 4 books on this. Studied and tried on my own to understand perspective. Yet, Proko managed to explain it in a way that made sense finally. After 4 years of trying. My fundis ache my guy. But thank you for being through and covering something I've struggled with visualizing.

I really appreciate how measured this series has been. It’s making sure not to confuse you and is giving you the most relevant information.

Great stuff.

I had a sweet grandpa, who taught me about vanishing points early on. We worked with yarn to get them aproximated when they were outside of the picture. I never thought of this neat trick you give us. What a smart thing to know! Will do in the future. Thank you so much, Stan. <3

I always wondered how people knew where to put the vanishing points, thank you for teaching me this!

[blackbearflower]

Oh my god, that trick for far away vanishing points was GENIOUS!! I'm going go use it for the rest of my life, thank you for this!

[michaelbarletta]

I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this shortcut😮 this is especially helpful for drawing comics!

[artzoo]

Your perspective of Perspective drawing is Brilliant .Really eye opening.😮

[nnt]

this is my first time seeing vanishing points explained without it breaking my brain

[donarsenault]

Wow! Have training in perspective but heen struglling with the problem of a distant vanishing point on a painting of a barn and farm. Went out and bought string and marked up my studio floor and then saw the part on how to plot it without 5-10 sheets of paper. Excellent! Thanks!

Just feels so good to watch these videos and learn❤

Thank you for covering perspective! It's puzzling to me yet but I think it's worth every sweat.

[sourgal]

I had tried to do the unit grid on my own before and I couldn't .thank you so much now I know how its done

[kachionyeka]

This is awesome; very eye opening 💯! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Always struggled with perspective & never fully understood how it worked or how professional artists were able to apply this to their work. Can't wait for more perspective videos 🙏

[raizen_u]

this video is really good for people that is stuck at understanding 2 point perspective like me, he really did a good job explaining 2 point perspective and it even has visual animation to make it really clear how 2 point perspective work.

Thank you for taking the time to explain Perspective; please never stop.

[ryankemp]

Every clip is always something very useful.

I was never this fast clicking on a notification, I truly love these videos, sir, they helped my a lot. Thanks, and please keep posting these! ❤

You're a savior, Proko! From other youtube channels I learnt that I can just estimate where the lines go without the perspective grid and horizon line (with vp far beyond the page) and I got so frustrated when drawing on my own! Ughh! And I was- well, still am- under time pressure, because I am practicing for college entry exams and I need to get solid fundamentals in 6 months (do you think I can do it in that time?). I've been drawing for years, but just for myself and for fun, and not quite often. Now I need to get serious about it and you are a savior! Your videos are so helpful and your channel is the best one out there! Thank you so much! :)
