How to Draw 1-Point Perspective
How to Draw Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

This drawing is based on a scene from Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. The film is set in New York in 1926.

For this drawing I used a 4B pencil and an eraser. Thank you very much for watching, I hope you found this drawing useful for your own art and drawing. I will post a new art tutorial next week!

The background music really leads me to a fantastic world, seeing all the buildings and people appear one by one, lovely

I reckon us Brits are world number 1. when it comes to delivering clear and concise instructions.

Please make more 1 point perspective drawings. I love them

[rloach]

from what i've observed from my little studying, all the perspectives are made from prime number points. Before finding your channel i had never heard or seen the 5-point perspective technique, i never imagined it was even a thing haha. But once i saw you explaining and executing it it made so much sense. Now i'm wondering if one can draw with a 7, 9, 11-point perspective, although i honestly can't imagine how that would work.

Thank you for uploading! You've thought me a whole lot about understanding perspective and their techniques.

I have sat here many times, watching your incredible drawings. Your straight lines are awesome. You have a wonderful way of explaining yourself.

Amazing, you draw the straight lines free hand, I learn a lot about one way perspective, thank you for sharing.

Your work is unbelievably useful for me. I'm planning on doing A-Level Product Design and all your point perspective videos are incredibly useful for drawing realistic products! Thanks so much :D
