    I want to know what you've found about the in-depth anatomy of perspective.
    This is a very niche thing and not a lot of people look into it but there's very little content online about it. at least from what i've found.

    I have learned so much from just watching this tutorial alone. I’ve been drawing cubes assuming I was drawing a perfect box till now. I just started learning how to draw but I’m very interested in learning how to draw properly so I know what I’m doing instead of just doing something that “looks right” to me. Looking forward to seeing your other videos and learning from them. Thank you very much.

  • @NMranchhand

    This is exactly the subject I was searching for. How you assured that the top side was a square in perspective followed logically from your “cone” video. After that, the reasoning behind the steps you took to get the height of the face was not evident to me. A more detailed video would be wonderful.

  • @emreozbek6770
    @emreozbek6770 Před 2 lety +1

    Is it just a coincidence that the line connecting 45°dia point and the point which is drawn first of the cube is also crossing over the stational point or sth at the bottom. Because there is no meanig if it is not. You cannot draw any cube at right, left or another place.

  • @budbin

    • @andreyostr
      @andreyostr Před 9 měsíci

      the horizontal "height" of the cube, we've calculated builds with a bottom edge an isosceles triangle. The same triangle we have from stationary point to the vanishing point and along horizon line. Third sides of both triangles are parallel to each other, so they converge to the same vanishing point.

    • @andreyostr
      @andreyostr Před 9 měsíci

      just observe the cube from the areal view and you'll find parallell lines, which will meet at the vanishing point. I could find that proof myself, but unfortunately I cannot paste any links or pictures here, which explanes that part.

  • @kaylenedawnbuteaufitnessbu2282

    Did you know, and as artists, I hope you can relate to this, that the neuro tests make the elderly with no art or interest in art draw a cube with no instruction or a reference. Betty Edwards says people cannot draw cubes without instruction. I'm almost finished with my graphic memoir of how I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and it worked. I tricked her off caffeine, then no prescription meds, forced her/tricked her/incentivized her to drink water, kept her away from high fructose corn syrup and other poison, because they made her mean and delusional, and kept her away from gluten. I'm always curious to know what artists think of this fact? My book is about how the right hand is not talking to the left hand with many aspects of our health, and people should use art to help with their caregiving.

      @@IntrepidWill I kinda get the idea... but then if you take the case where the cube is "right below" the viewing point (the edge in that case would be 90deg) and we would "see" no height, but using the method used in the vid you get a very large height.... so I'm still not sure if it is correct.

    • @andreyostr
      @andreyostr Před 9 měsíci

      well, constructing of the bottom part of the cube is pretty easy to understand: you just follow the idea, that all parallel lines are meeting at vanising point, so the diagonal of the bottom square and bisection of the right angle at the stationary point. It's a bit more difficult to understand how to find the proper height of the cube, but at the end it is based on the same idea: parallel lines are meeting at vanishing points. Unfortunately I cannot paste any links or pictures here, which explains that part.
