Perspective Drawing - Teach Yourself to Draw

In this episode of "Teach Yourself to Draw", we will talk about perspective. This episode is a little bit different from what I usually cover on this channel, but it would be a shame to draw great pictures with inaccurate perspective. The fundamental principles of perspective are always important to know. This is what I'll cover in this video. Hope it helps !

About me (bio) :

I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation. I do mostly drawing and oil painting, and my goal is always to provide techniques and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.

[Redskirt]

This is very handy, especially for an artist who never took this class in college. I found some pretty big mistakes in my current drawing. 😄
I'm curious...how would you add "life" to such a technically perfect drawing?

[artandfiction]

Speaking of perspective, today I am painting a very tiny woman using a mushroom as an umbrella. It's been so long since I've drawn at an eagle's perspective, that when I tried to add rain, I got dizzy from the illusion I made.
I guess I'm doing well.
