Have you ever wanted to learn how to use perspective in drawing?
Here are are a few simple to follow videos and how-to art lessons that I collected from various sites:
This youtube video is a simple, non technical version of one point perspective. It shows an interior being drawn in one point perspective on a computer in less that 2 minutes, but the steps and concepts are exactly the same as if you were drawing it with pencil and ruler. You may need to pause the video to keep up!
A slightly longer (15 minute) video, which is a little more technical and shows the artist using his pencil (but still no ruler!) This is a great video to understand how perspective affects the visual size of buildings in a drawing.
This one is a written tutorial for those who don’t want to watch a video – this tutorial is quite in depth, although very easy to read and understand. I like this one because he uses a ruler. Hooray!
This one could be my favourite! This tutorial transfers all the knowledge into an really easy version of perspective that you can teach to 7-13 year olds.
And for those of you who have done our class on DaVinci’s “The Last Supper” where we learned about one point perspective. Here’s a quick run down of what we went through in that class.
If there are any questions or if there’s anything you’d like me to cover in a video about perspective please let me know by emailing me at in**@ar****.au
