Thank you so much for explaining the difference between visible and true horizon lines and how to find true horizon when drawing outside! I think this is an important point about perspective that other KZfaq videos don't cover.

I have been trying for months to truly understand perspective drawing and how to apply it to ether figure or city-scape. I watched the above tutorial on linear perspective and understood my problem. I cannot recall hearing or seeing the term Linear Perspective before. This has been a immense help. Thank you for sharing this video.

I hope you are an art teacher in real life because your videos are wonderful. You have a true gift for explaining complicated concepts simply.

Draw what you “see” not what you believe to be true. Genius. I’ve been struggling with perspective for a bit but this just gave me a eureka moment

Thank you so much, finally this is described in a way that I can understand! I've gone through at least ten videos before you've finally wrapped my head around it. :) Thank you.

This is one of the most comprehensive yet concise explanations of perspective in art I have found. I can not expresses how valid your lesson pertaining to how a mind will try to overly justify as you have in a very remarkable way depicted the left side of out brains getting in the way of being in our "Right Mind" when making an accurate linear perspective. This Video is an entire class at universities, Thank you and your team for preparing and sharing this lesson. Very Remarkable Work!!!

I'm taking an art class just now and this one video has taught me more in 10 minutes than I've learnt in my class. Thank you so much for taking the time to post.

You're a great instructor, thank you so much for keeping in simple and clear for understanding without rushing. I've been so frustrated and I believe this is going to help better than all the other videos I've seen. Gotta watch it again, 3 point foreshortening is a challenge for me. Ciao

I watch a lot of art tutorials. This was one of the best. Understandable, great graphics, simple to grasp, felt the same way about your tutorial on values. I'm hungry for knowledge and this was a true pleasure. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for posting this video! This really helped me understand perspective a lot more.

This is the best video I ever have seen for an explanation of linear perspective. Thank you

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!! This helped me understand what Linear perspective is. I'm in an art class, and I was having trouble understanding it.

Excellent video, short and very focused on the subject. This video should be given its merits. Well done!

Michael - good clear explanation to get any beginning drawing student started…I will use this video in teaching…I will add in my explanation that as concerns drawing rectilinear objects/buildings, one-point perspective is used when the object or building is in a PARALLEL plane to the viewer (appearing as you say, as a rectangle or square), and 2-point perspective is used when the object or building is at an oblique angle or plane to the viewer…all in all, the additional information re landscapes/clouds etc is excellent! Thanks!

Best explanation I seen on perspective. Thank you.

Just discovering your channel, videos are so concise and informative. Thanks

This is amazing. Great mini lecture! Much appreciated.

‘Clunk’! That was the sound of the penny dropping. I’m very new to art and didn’t have much clue about ‘vanishing point’ or perspective. So thank you for this video. It’s helped immensely. 👍😃

Thank you for providing such a concise explanation of linear perspective.

Best video I've seen yet to instruct this often confusing subject! Thank you

You are a wonderful communicator/teacher for you unveil easily the obvious and make easy and simple to understand your knowledge. thank you

Very enlightening! Thanks for sharing! Take care!

Thank you for posting this! It was very helpful!

Thank you for this explanation. It's going to be hard to forget this.

Micheal Thanks so much,you're really a very good and generous teacher though I regret coming across you just today.

Wow. It could hardly be made more interesting or easier to understand. Many thanks for sharing.

Thank you. Very clear explanation.

Linear perspective has always been very difficult for me to understand. Today, after watching your video lesson, I feel like I get it :) Yay! This is seriously a great video. You are a wonderful teacher and you explained this in a way I understand. This helps me take my drawings and paintings to the next level. Thank you.

Very good video! You break this down, and explain it very well. Definitely gonna subscribe!

Thank you SO MUCH! I learned so much from this video.

Excellent video. Hit me right at the perfect time.

Thanks for your help, I've learnt a lot from your video.

After reading John Kaluta's excellent book, 'The Perfect Stage Crew,' I had trouble visualizing the chapters on perspective and the spiral staircase. As I watched your excellent video, which is faithful to how Mr. Kaluta described perspective, finally I could understand the 'vanishing point,' 'true horizon,' and etc. If you have a video that explains this as applies to painting flats for theatre, that would be fantastic.

You explained so well so thank you. Better than most.

Interesting and concise with the video micheal thank you!

Fantastic and revealing...

Very helpful explanation. Thank you

"Paint what you see, not what you THINK you see. Your eyes can play tricks on you."

Probably the best video on the topic. Thanks

awesome sir.....i understood horizon quite well now

Amazing video, thank you form your explanation

Simply great...

Thank you sm! Very simple and understandable explanation

this video is amazing...cant believe this is from 9 years ago...watching from philippines

Excellent explanation simple line drawing while teaching was most helpful for me to understand this concept better

nice video man, I learn a lot!

The music is so calming, what's the sound track? great video too, thank you

Very clear explanation Thank you

Great explanation.

Thanks Nathaniel!

Thank you! Wow!

GOOD JOB.....I APPRECIATE YOUR PERSPECTIVE .

Excellent!

wow this is amazing, this is really helpfull for me, Because i really love painting landscape

this was great thanks

this video is perfect 😭😭

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Thanks for the nice compliment.

Great vid thank you

love the music reminds me of final fantasy or most jrpg music

Thank you!

Superb!

4:47 ive been doing this for years mindblown i been lied to the whole time

I can't believe that I'm the first one to click on the 'like' button. So, 66.275 people were already perfectly clear about two points perspective!

nice and interesting...:)

Thorough, simple, and straightforward explanation. Thank you very much. What photo editing program did you use?

Michael, Thank you so much. I have been starting to work intensively in photoshop on composite images. I have watched video after video and still confused about vanishing points and horizon lines. Your video has cleared up much of that. Thank you so very much for this well explained video.

At 1st I thought oh no this video is about to be 9:58secs of boring, but it actually wasn't. I've already done a few perspective drawings of buildings, and they turned out great before watching this video. Therefore, I'm thinking about doing another perspective drawing in the future, so the reminder that the clouds do get smaller closer to the vanishing point was definitely appreciated. Lol

|I have just subscribed Michael and would like to ask a question. I understand the bit if I am standing on the ground and doing either one or two point perspecive, holding the brush to eye line etc. but if I am on that 3rd storey where do I draw the horizon line? Please explain as I always stuck on that bit. Phew! thanks

Nice

why do the mountains in 1 point perspective appear to not be affected by the vanishing point?

great runescape music while explain

I dont understand the horizon line part, if i were to look up at the sky but still see the ocean the horizon line would be really low in the image im seeing it wouldnt be directly where im looking at right...? same if i were to look down horizon line would be higher not on the water where im looking.

Here's a little mind food for everyone: What happens when the horizon line is not in view? If we're talking about the actual horizon line, as in the point on the ground, the physical ground. You should now understand that the horizon line only applies when you can see it, but at the same time, it's always in play. Perspective doesn't just disappear when you exit Earth and go into space with nothing in view but one object, for example. Undestand that the horizon line is essentially just a guideline and not a truth, because in space without any objects in sight and you're just floating there, you can look in every direction, but you will see different "horizon lines" and vanishing points. On Earth, it's a fairly concrete concept, because the earth is fairly round, not square, and the objects on Earth are placed on a round surface, not a square. But in space, you could have objects in line even beyond the distance that they would vanish on Earth. Of course, this is all theory and explanation, but do understand that the laws of perspective change based on the state of the viewer and the state of the observed. For example, if one was to theoretically go at or beyond the speed of light, their field of vision would eventually be 360 degrees, and light would start to turn blue and everything would start getting "sucked in" until it's one big view of everything. What kind of perspective rules would you apply for THAT?

I'll figure it out someday

Every flerf cultist should watch this video with understanding.

why some artists draw in one point perspective but uses two vanishing points?

Can someone tell me when he said " you should paint what you _____, not _____"

Ok

Why do we have to know these concepts if we only need to rely on what we see?

Ocean is completly and totally LEVEL........Wheres the ball gone??

4:03 As you can sea here

Excellent lesson however that music needs to. Changing

those verticals aren't plumb

sadly, this video did not load and would not play. we are directed to the commercial website, but that was not successful for me either. maybe I'll find another way. I'll look. sounds goods

Very basic stuff. If u add four perspectives. Let's say airliner + fourth floor of a building + man + frogperspective. Then u get what photographers do. It's like a montage but still just one picture. Cannot find a tutorial on this technique.

Is this content creator still active?

The Ocean is "completely and totally level".....er.....Right......so no curvature then?.

OH SNAP!!! FLAT EARTH ALERT!!! at 4:00 when you say the ocean is completely and totally level.....shhhh they might start trolling your channel !!!

This makes no sense to me why my school making me watch this 😂😭

Kill the damn MUSIC! Why do the makers of videos feel they need to add music? Once you become aware of the music, your concentration is broken. This is why they play that catchy little tune during Final Jeopardy!

gave up watching. that music is so distracting... there is a reason they do not play music in school during classes :-)

damn that music is so cheep and cheesy ...

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 Friends,concerning the laws of God,we all have broken it,meaning that sin will send us to hell,no one has not sinned and no one is righteous to inherit heaven.but God,having the best love,sent His Son Jesus Christ to live a perfect life for us,He knew no sin,and that He was crucified for our sins,bearing all to Himself.He died and on the third day He rose again.Through Jesus Christ we can be forgiven for our sins and have eternal life,His grace is sufficient for us.He offers us salvation FREELY! He can give us redemption and even a right to become a child of God.God does not will for anyone to perish,but repent . And by His Son Jesus is the only way good works will not save you That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,you will be saved. Romans 10:9 For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.For God sent not His Son to condemn the world,but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16-17
