I spent one day learning to draw boxes in perspective, and then i warped them in wierd forms! i couldnt sleep at night because all i thought of was boxes and shapes.. But because of this i can now probably draw hands, feet etc better because i understand the forms! I highly recommend anyone who wanna learn to start with this! Its not hard and its pretty fun once you get the hang of it and it will help your drawings ALOT

Finally a video that explains perspective without grid but instead in terms of intuition. I enjoyed this method a lot.

[janetbailey]

Yes!! More please!!! I don't mind the videos being long!! You are a great teacher! Thank you!!

[tanbravean]

This is hands down the best video at explaining this! You made it so easy to understand! The way you guide us through the construction is so unique. I am sharing this video as much as possible! Thank you so much!

[ochicco]

I am Brazilian. And even though I understand a little English, I perfectly understand your explanation and example. Thank you, now I'm really starting to understand 3D shapes in perspective better.

[madisonrhall]

23:05 woah. Yep. That's where all this is going.

[dawnlee]

Yes very interested ..pls have more of these. These basic drawings are so important and really appreciate it. TQ so so much can't wait to learn more.

Hi, Liron. This is the first tutorial I've come across on drawing shapes in 3d perspective. You explained and demonstrated this so clearly. I would definitely like to see more videos on shapes in perspective. Thanks!

[ancamuresan]

I was struggling with boxes for a drawing course I am doing and I’ve watched at least 30 videos on this topic for the last few days. Yours, as others have already said, is hands down the best. I finally get it. You explained it so well! I rarely live comments on youtube, but fet the need to express my gratitude. Thank you! Greetings from Romania

[alysonfordperez]

I really appreciate how you took a basic cylinder and applied it to drawing a leg. Thank you!

[sallywright]

I am very interested in more of this. I go back and forth between drawing and watercolor. I struggle with perspective and I found this very helpful. I understand the concept when I watch it being done, , , but somehow my hand and mind get confused. I think I just need to practice, practice, practice the basic shapes until it becomes ingrained. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I’m going to look into your books too.

[DerMofinator]

I just started learning how to draw and I've seen a lot of videos and art teachers.
Even though I already practiced 3D shapes by eyeballing perspective, your video caught my intention. I'm so happy I clicked on it, because you are a phenomenal teacher. Your pace is great and you explain perspective a very simple and relatable way. Just by consistently reminding that lines further away need to be shorter and comparing the angles again and again, I feel like you made perspective finally click for me.

I subbed to your channel, because I think your style of teaching resonates really really well with me :)
Thank you!

[tammysunderman]

Please more. You're a wonderful teacher!! Wow, you explain great!1

[judyfranklin]

Your videos are always so informative and really helpful, Thank you Liron for being so generous with your tuition, you explain everything so clearly, I am always learning something new from you.

I bought your “How to Sketch” book, since I have never taken a drawing coarse. I love all 359 pages, it is really a fun book

At the 20:00 mark we can clearly see that BC is longer than AD. Which is true when reckoning dates as well. It’s also funny that it’s at the 20:00 minute mark since we are living in what is relatively 2000 AD. 😂

Hi Liron, It is one of those 'Thanks for reminding me. A great artist and friend, sadly no longer with us, was always doing this wherever he was i.e. Restaurants, pubs with notebooks, napkins and once on a tablecloth which he paid for and took away with him after the meal. Certainly, something I do not do enough of, even though it is wonderful practice for any artist and especially for a beginner, so great video Liron. You deserve your success.

[ANTONIUSBLCK]

As a beginner practicing 3 dimensional shapes, I really needed this; thanks!

[shanicejoseph]

You're a really good teacher. I've watched a couple vids and yours is the first that helped me truly understand to where I feel confident moving forward

[yashasvioswal]

This was so much fun as well as informative!!
