Sometimes, it just clicks! Glad it finally did!

That's a perfect example of not giving up. You have motivated me brother😃.

@@Rejee-wq5omBest of luck to your art progress my guy :D

I guess you don't learn by reading then

@@zurielroycedacoco9502Method sure. Art is a visual medium so it's no surprise seeing it done helps way more than static images. Still, Proko's awesome :D

I didn't know either, but I'm glad to know😊

Thanks!

Do it. I also helped thanks to the shortcut.😊

"horizon" (no line) = where the horizon ends; these perspective tutorials are always drawn in some unrealistic "super planet" or "flat earth" with flat infinite distance; in anything realistic the horizon itself depends on the curvuture of the planet as well as your altitude. Imagine yourself on a sphere and then imagine yourself higher or lower on said sphere, the horizon you see (edge of the sphere) would change, but of course this has no influence on how you draw everything else since it's unrelated to perspective (other then also being subject to perspective rules) In the video he uses "horizon" word a few times with out line but I assume it's literally just a shorthand for "horizon line" (see below for meaning of that). "ground level" = presumably it's where you put the ground, which might not be where the sea level is, if you're on a mountain the ground is high, sea level is low, and if you see the sea the horizon (no-line) is at sea level, or if you want to imagine where horizon is, it's at sea level + curverture of the planet (which may be hidden) "ground plane" = imaginary infinite plane that if you're standing perfectly straight you'd be perpenticular to it (it's initial orientation is arbitrary of course but generally wont be some wierd tilted angle). If you imagine "axes" in 3D space (X, Y, Z) then it's the plane defined by 2 of the axes. You'd see it more in 3D software or games and it's something like a guideline for orienting in space (as well as way to put objects in space easily). Even in 3D games with complete 3D movement (homeworld and similar) you see it displayed in the middle of space as a visible grid (as a circle in the case of homeworld), because otherwise you have no concept of "up" and "down" and "left" and right" which is disorienting and effectively removes your ability to create a line in 3D space (ie. X-Y-Z point to X-Y-Z point). Your average 3D strategy game uses a 2D plane and movement, so everything is always constant, and older games even use special perspective to make it easier for you to judge distance (Orthographic), but newer games dont hence why they're just worse to control and confusing. "horizon line" (terrible name) = "eye level" = center horizontal line of the viewport (ie. take viewport and cut it in half, the cut is where the eye level is) The reason you're confused is because all these tutorials always use these nonsensical ways of presenting. To explain it simply: the VISION of described in the videos is the vision of some monstrosity or there's some very serious omisions in what is said and what is shown. Examples from the video: 1. When you see the eye level drawn at NOT the middle, you're basically some creature with asymetrical eyes that sees more underneath and less above; its like you're drawing the crop version of an actual viewport and calling the cropped version "the viewport" 2. When you see later in the video the whole "diagonal eye level" you're basically this magical creature that sees things not relative to space its in (like we do) but it's own symetry. Like just tilt your head right now, congratulations the perspective has changed (you probably see more things on the left of some objects if you leaned left), but every object in space didnt turn with you. The video isn't wrong completely, it's just such a wierd case to use, since it's a 3p perspective case if you imagine everything is NOT perpenticular to the ground plane but somehow perpenticular to your eye level. Basically the viewport box there is a complete lie, since the viewport should be only paralel and perpenticular lines to the eye level; or otherwise put you're drawing a photoshoped/cropped version of a picture taken at a tilt and rotated or some such. I don't know where this "world tilts when you tilt your head" idea comes from, just tilt your head, do you see the world tilting? but its true the perspective changes, however objects obviously dont tilt with you. 3. when he says later in the rotation demo "it's facing straight at us" what he means is "technically facing at us, but also extremely underneath us" (ie. basically you're on some elevated position, such a tower, helicopter, hill, or whatnot and the object is at the bottom); if you were at the same level as the object (which is often alluded to be a house or pole, meaning larger then a human) it wouldnt look like that unless you're some fantasy giant thats two stories tall or more As for the thing he left out, normal human vision is 60deg for both eyes and 90deg if we count parts that only one eye or the other eye sees, so unless you're drawing a fishman or something, keep to that angle between your points. TBH it's kind of important, since you know.... maybe you dont want to draw everything fishy. Not sure what it's not just included in the video or hintend in the video.

Thanks!

There's not a perspective book in it but here's a list of art books that I recommend: www.proko.com/books

Everything is cylinders, spheres, triangles and cubes!

Glad they help! Thanks for following along with them!

What about them?

@@rockon8174 how do we Draw them?

You can draw cylinders and cones inside boxes

@@rgb2296 I have hard time getting the the eclipse right plus with this shape that awfully looks like football but not sphere and has 7 faces of pentagons

Should be this year! He's hard at work in the lab, knocking lessons out left and right.

Very good! The man's a perfectionist but we're cranking out lessons of only the highest quality right now. We'll share more when it's actually ready to go.

That's a limitation of two point perspective. Adding one more vanishing point would give you that one more direction of convergence and mimic more of what we see in real life.

Yes the box is just a simplification of everything. You can even draw a circle in 2 point. Break down your boat into simple shapes and use this method. This is why working on one's foundation is so important you learn those basic shapes so that you can apply them. If one wants to learn color theory to better the illusion I recommend doing so it makes everything more convincing when perspective is used with color ^^ Maybe Proko will do a video on that as well 🤔 would be a good point to tackle for developing artists.

Perpendicular means that it intersects at a 90° angle. Like how the two lines of a cross meet.

@@ProkoTV 😊

As with all our courses, lessons are planned to be released week to with with intentionality. Not seen here are the assignments for each topic, warm ups and more that are exclusive to the premium course. The time in between lessons give the students the chance to practice the concepts and do the assignments, rather than just shoving a bunch of videos into them that they haven't had time to process yet.

If you want it in a minute, head one over to our Shorts. The long videos are edited for those who want the in depth explanation.

@@ProkoTV nah
