This Drawing Exercise is the building block for ANYTHING! ✏️

Hey there, Liron here!
In today's vid I'll share a super-important exercise for developing a foundation that will allow you to DRAW ANYTHING.

If you practice this correctly a hundred times I guarantee you'll see a significant improvement in your understanding of 3D space, and drawing things within it.

I hope you enjoy 😊🙏🏼

Hi Liron. I am 74 years old and have been on my artistic journey for over 20 years off and on. I have never been very good on spacial things, in fact I don't understand it at all. I'm trying to understand your video but I'm having a hard time. I will watch this video over and over and maybe I'll get it, I hope so. You make it look and sound so easy. I'll try harder. Thank you for sharing.

Holy crap this just gave me what I was missing seriously. I asked many artists what are the degrees and no one could answer me or would look at me like I was crazy. This confirmed all my beliefs, thank you for the clear explanation. Awesome video.

I heard that Kim Jung Gi once said that when he learnt to draw the cube in any angle his art improved a lot. Great video! Another exercise is the hinge another cube on the edge of a cube without making it look wonky perspective wise

Oh my gosh! Although I understand this concept of perspective intellectually, my eyes don’t seem to connect with my brain properly. This will/has to be my next task - drawing cubes very diligently and thoroughly as long as it takes, until it eventually seeps in and leads to the great Eureka Moment. Thank you very much, Liron 😊

I'm just beginning my journey as an artist at 23 years old, and I have to say this video has helped me immensely, especially with the idea of putting human heads and rib cages into boxes at the end... thank you very much for creating this tutorial!!

Seeing objects from many angles gives you an unlimited amount of ways to express your art

If i ever had an art teacher like you I wouldn't have to discover now in my mid 30s that yes it is actually possible for me to learn how to draw. Thanks a lot for this!

[guestuser]

You are the exact teacher beginners need to learn from. I bought a perspective course on sale, but I didn't feel like it was right to just learn how to put down a horizon line and match lines up. It wouldn't be really teaching me what is really going on. You break it down in a way that's easy to understand and shows us what elements we are actually seeing when we pull out the horizon line/VP. Thank you Liron! I'll make sure to check out your other videos/courses.

perspective is something that i still struggle with even after I've just gotten my diploma in animation. i don't think I've ever experienced a very concise and clear explanation, finding your channel is such a blessing! thank you so much for making these videos I'll be binging them and sharing them with my felow-perspective-strugglers. <3

[LordBaktor]

I'm proud that I came up with this sort of approach on my own a couple years ago. I thought "instead of having to do the whole vanishing point shabang every time, why don't I practice cubes from different angles to get used to how they look?". Then I ended up doing basically the same steps, closest corner first, three lines from there and finish off by making the parallel ones slightly converge. Your explanation is much better than what I could put into words, though.

This video was a huge breakthrough as a beginner. I love the format it made everything click for me. I really wish more art YouTubers made videos like this to demonstrate concepts instead of just talk about them.

[rhondagrammer]

I thought I had a good grasp of the cube. This really brought it together for its value for a basic shape fo evolve everything. Loved it. Love you.

[TheGobluejeff]

Making a difficult concept easy to understand=brilliance!
Finally, someone has presented this confusing subject into a user friendly and practical tool.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Cre-Art]

Excellent. Using Rubik's cube as a visual aid makes it easier to see, but your explanation is also clear and easy to understand. I'm enjoying all of these tutorials. Thank you.

[kiranp]

You have become one of my top educators about painting and watercolour. I continue to improve and will keep doing much of what you ask, and it makes and sense and works. With deep humbleness, very many thanks.

[rlhayes]

Thank you so much! As a beginner sketch artist I welcome ANY instruction you can offer!

[candygirl]

Thank you so much! I started really diving into perspective this month. I learned about the horizon line and vanishing points, etc. And after going through many videos, people would continuous say that we should learn how to freehdand this stuff. However, anytime I tried to freehand my boxes, they would come out looking weird or I just countinued wrap my head around freehand boxes. I learned about the Y / pie method a few days ago, but that was it. I didn't learn how to apply it affectively. I feel like this video just brings it ALL together. My boxes have started to look like they are ACTUALLY in perspective. Thank you sooo much for making this video. Keep it up!

[daviddespain]

You are an amazing teacher. Very concise. So many people want to express how intelligent they are and can't get enough of their own voice. Great lesson.

[sharokafshar]

Hi Lorin. You are not only teaching so well but also inspiring so wisely. Thank you

[IzzyVoodoo]

Dude I have literally been studying perspective FOR YEARS and haven't managed to get cube rotation to stick in my brain. This was SO HELPFUL, I'm immediately able to see how it works
