What you'll learn

  • Understanding the basic elements of perspective & how they work together to create the illusion of 3D forms
  • How to use one & two-point perspective to draw three dimensional objects from your imagination
  • How to draw boxes, cylinders, and spheres & combine them to create any object you want
  • Avoid the most common beginner perspective mistakes that will make your drawings look unrealistic and amateurish
  • Learn easy perspective tricks that will allow you to draw 3D objects at any angle
  • How to analyze objects so you can understand their structure and draw them with ease
  • Get easy-to-follow, step-by-step instruction on how to draw everyday objects
  • And a whole lot more!

Course content

4 sections • 26 lectures • 2h 7m total length

  • Basics of Perspective5:30

    Construct drawings by reducing subjects to basic forms, such as boxes, cylinders, and spheres, and apply horizon line, diminution, and vanishing points to render three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plane.

  • One-Point Perspective7:16

    Master one-point perspective by establishing a horizon line and vanishing point to build boxes, define depth via converging lines from the front to back planes, and shade visible planes.

  • The Diagonal Method2:33

    Learn to find the center of any shape in perspective by drawing diagonals. Use diagonals to proportionally enlarge or shrink rectangles, even without a ruler.

  • Cutting into Boxes6:43

    Discover how to cut into boxes to form prisms and pyramids using vanishing points, depth lines, and shading to reveal 3D structure.

  • Adding to Boxes4:54

    Learn to add to a box by stacking volumes, creating ramps, roofs, and platforms using vanishing points, depth lines, front/back planes, and the x-method.

  • Book Drawing in One-Point6:10

    Apply one-point perspective to draw a hardcover book, constructing pages, front and back covers, and spine with a vanishing point and horizon line, then shade planes and practice.

  • Sofa Drawing in One-Point4:40

    Create a sofa from imagination using one-point perspective, shaping a box and aligning depth lines to the vanishing point, adding cushions, shading, and practicing from memory.

Requirements

  • No previous drawing experience needed! This course is designed for the complete beginner.

Description

In this part of the Drawing Fundamentals Made Simple series, you're going to learn the foundational skills and perspective principles that will allow you to draw from your imagination.

In the first section of this course, we'll begin by learning the basics of perspective drawing. You'll learn concepts like the horizon line, vanishing points, line convergence, and how to use them to create 3D objects and scenes. We'll cover how one and two-point perspective work… and then we'll go through step-by-step exercises where you can practice drawing simple boxes and modify them to create a variety of shapes.

Once you're comfortable with constructing boxes, we'll apply this knowledge to drawing actual 3D objects from your imagination. We'll do this in both one and two-point perspectives.

Now that you have a good understanding of how to draw boxy objects, in the next section, we'll cover curved objects. You'll learn the simple rules that explain how ellipse and circle perspective works and how to use them to draw cylinders at various angles.

Then we'll go through a bunch of different exercises where you'll learn how to combine boxes and cylinders to create all sorts of everyday objects.

Lastly in the final section, we'll dive into drawing spherical forms. Again, you'll learn how to use perspective to create three-dimensional spheres.

And we'll go through lots of examples of how to use this knowledge to draw even more complex subjects.

By the end of this course, you'll have a good understanding of how to draw boxes, cylinders, and spheres and how to use them to construct more complex objects from your imagination.

This course was designed for beginning and intermediate artists who want to build a solid foundation in constructive drawing.

These same construction skills are the foundation of interior sketching, architectural drawing, product design, and concept art — so whatever you ultimately want to draw, this is where it starts.

All the concepts are explained in a clear & easy to understand manner and you'll get lots of step-by-step examples to help you deepen your understanding.

This course comes with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so if you are not completely in love with the course for any reason, you can get every penny of your money back!

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to learn the essential skills of drawing from imagination so they can jump start their artistic journey.
