I’ve read so many books trying to get this into my head but none were half as useful as this 4 min video. Your channel is a life saver.

i love that you animated these instead of having like a slideshow. I was confused reading about this but you explained it clearly.

I no longer feel intimidated by drawing in perspective since I started watching your videos. Thank you so much!!

Thanks. It was the final tutorial what I needed to really understand how the standing point means and works! I love how you explained that what the distance between cvp and so mean! I read two books about perspective but your video really makes it much more easy to understand!

I have been trying to wrap my head around these concepts for two weeks, this video made it click for me. Thank you!

thank you so much for these videos. i understood a lot of these concepts already but the way that you animated them just helped me understand it even better. I used to get confused looking at drawings with the horizon, station point. Now I understand why the vanishing points move so much when you rotate and how to place the viewpoints. One thing I've learned is that the distance from the Horizon to the Station Point is the distance from the floor to horizon, so knowing that your "camera" is 6 feet from the floor might be useful

Great vids, I currently teaching digital painting, and I recommend your vids to everyone for fundamentals - you've managed to explain the most clearly and succinctly on these topics I've seen so far. Thank you so much!!

You explained this topic ridiculously good. Fantasic job. Thank you !

Your videos are top notch! Perfect explanations and even better diagrams. Keep it up!

I always come back to this, your videos have serious replay value

This is the clearest and best explanation I’ve come across. One question - why is it okay to rotate the station point to CVP line onto the picture plane? I get that it works but it seems like magic!

Ahhh. I'm learning to draw and this was a big missing piece for me. I was having a hard time rotating objects in my 1-poiny perspective scene. This is going to go a long way for me, thank you!

Exellent and clear explanation!!! The drawings were very useful and easy to undestand! 💖

Super helpful. Only a handful of videos take the time to explain this but it is very important

The best description in KZfaq!

Your explanation is very clear. Thank you so much.

Very underrated content.. Great explanation ❤️

Thank you so much for this video, it helped me a lot going through Scott Robertson's book

thanks a lot bro

First off, thank you for your valuable work. These videos are top quality. I have one question. Why does the lines crossing the stationpoint create vanishing points? What I know is that all parallel lines converge to unique vanishing points. But station point is below the picture plane! How can lines extended from the bottom of the picture plane affect the picture plane? In other words, what justifies the placement of station point below the picture plane? Sorry for weird phrasing of the question.

Thanks for all these vids! Quick question: at 1:20 you place the CVP slightly to the left of center. Although this is technically possible, what would the logic of doing that be? Because it means that you'll have uneven distortion on the left and right of your frame (not symetrical). I guess you could use it as an effect? I'm really a noob so it could be i'm misunderstanding something here, but people almost always show the cone of vision as being centered in the picture frame, although i guess it doesn't need to be.

Thank you so much for this really clear video. You are much better at explaining perspective than my teacher is, lol. Genuine question that might be totally stupid. Couldn't the same result be achieved by simply having the same distance between each pair of vanishing points? (For example, the distance between VPa1 and VPa2 being the same as the distance between VPb1 and VPb2?)

hi! thank you for your great and quality videos. i'm not sure if you can see my comment since it's old video but few questions. I understand the video until 2:00 where right angle is used to set vanishing point and i don't get why you should use right angle. is it because you're drawing box shaped object or is it something to do with cone of vision in your next video? or am i just missing some fundamental concept here.

Great video! What tool are using to animate the content? Thanks, again!

So I can place the CVP just whereever I want? And how do I know where the SP sits? I or whoever looks at my drawing could just move their eyes closer or farther away, right? And if my SP is OUTSIDE my page, how do I know where it is, like how do I place it then? Sorry if these are obvious questions

Excellent thanks. At 2.02 you say the vanishing points should be along lines that are at 90 degrees to each other, which pivot on the station point. However at 3.45 you place the vanishing points on the top side of the 'square ruler', not on the bottom side of the ruler which pivoted on the station point. Is that ok because the resulting vanishing points are closer together than they would have been had you placed them on the bottom side of the 'square ruler' which pivoted on the station point.

This was perfect, thank you!!

Thanks, this is the best explanation i've seen and needs more views. But i still have one burning question: if we're working with 3 point perspective, how do we incorporate the station point which rotating objects? I can't find any tutorials that show a station point in a 3 point perspective scene.

wow i never knew about this....

Good stuff, good to know. Ive never understood how this works.

1:57 Can we change this angle to create different angles in 3D space? For example, if I wanted two edges to meet at a 60-degree angle (in 3D), would I choose my vanishing points to form a 60-degree angle with the station point as well?

When you are placing the station point with a 90° angle down and they placing a square, and rotating it, does it matter how much you rotate it? For example I don’t junk yours was perfect 45° in either direction I think yours was slightly skewed

This so huge!!! Thanks!!!

Cool...thank you.. :)

could you do a video about Camera Lenses and 1 more question...do the vps always have to be 90 or does it depend on the lens being used. Thanks Again

..... Oookay, this actually answers a question I asked in another video. Your videos really are VERY clear and informative. The animations are so helpful for us visual learners!

Thank you very much. But there is a problem when I draw a 3-point perspective, when I rotate the x axis of the box (side view), the z axis will be tilted. At that time, the station point will be moved (I checked it with 3D software) and I don't know how to calculate the exact distance it moved. Do you know how to calculate it?

Awesome

How do you find a diagonal vanishing point in having trouble understanding from Scott Robertson book

Hi man, i'm trying to understand the station point and cone of vision and it seems i probably having a hard time understanding the picture plane too. I would love if you could enlight me on those 3. My understanding is that if you drew on a physical viewfinder whats behind you'll get a perfect representation of the image behind it so that mean that if you just place the viewfinder flat on a table in front of you the viewfinder is then the equivalent of the drawing you would have made on a piece of paper so my questions are: -1. Is the picture plane a mental/imaginary ( in your head ) equivalent or same thing as a physical viewfinder ? -2. And if so does it mean that to be able to draw you should have the viewfinder built in your head "picture plane " and frame your image into it ? -3. And if so how do you feet your image into it ? Example: a 160cm tv on a 21 by 29 piece of paper ? Sighting ? Thanks

hey man thank you for sharing. always found it hard to understand.

Good evening! Could you put this video with subtitles! Thanks!

These videos are really great. My only question is how would I find the station point?

Subtitles are missing, tks!!!

Can you add subtitle, please ?

So confusing and inaccessible for newbies!

Nice informative video, but the angle subtended by the vanishing points to the station point is not 90 degrees in the end demo. Could cross-check at 3:44. Your students may end up doing wrongly 🫣😉 You are explaining and doing good, our mentor shall complete the video with perfection.
