    I spent one day learning to draw boxes in perspective, and then i warped them in wierd forms! i couldnt sleep at night because all i thought of was boxes and shapes.. But because of this i can now probably draw hands ,feet etc better because i understand the forms! I highly recommend anyone who wanna learn to start with this! Its not hard and its pretty fun once you get the hang of it and it will help your drawings ALOT
  • @cfoxx
    Finally a video that explains perspective without grid but instead in terms of intuition. I enjoyed this method a lot.

    I am Brazilian. And even though I understand a little English, I perfectly understand your explanation and example. Thank you, now I'm really starting to understand 3D shapes in perspective better.

    Of allllllll the videos I've watched, THIS was the one that FINALLY made me understand what everyone else trying to teach perspective couldn't. Thank you, Sir. You are officially my Youtube hero.😊
  • I was struggling with boxes for a drawing course I am doing and I’ve watched at least 30 videos on this topic for the last few days. Yours, as others have already said, is hands down the best. I finally get it. You explained it so well! I rarely live comments on youtube, but fet the need to express my gratitude. Thank you! Greetings from Romania

    Hi, Liron. This is the first tutorial I've come across on drawing shapes in 3d perspective. You explained and demonstrated this so clearly. I would definitely like to see more videos on shapes in perspective. Thanks!
