Pretty often beginners feel overwhelmed in front of perspective. There is so many lines going here and there that we even don’t know how to start. So I made this video to show you stroke-by-stroke how to set the perspective scene and draw a cube inside.
In this video, you will realise it’s actually pretty easy. At the end of today and a bit of practice, you will know how to draw a cube in multiple angles forever !
You can watch the previous video at the link belows:

October 19, 2015Hi Chou-Tac, if a cube is in 1-point perspective, you won’t be able to see the outside of its sides and in 2-point perspective, you won’t be able to see any 90 degree corners.

October 20, 2015Hello Rene, I am not sure I understand what you mean. Do you mind reformulate ?
Thank you 🙂

October 21, 2015I mean, if viewed from 1-point perspective, we can only see only 1 side of the cube.
If we can see more than 1 side, it will be 2-point or 3-point perspectives, then the sides that we can see will no longer be a perfect square.

October 21, 2015What you say it’s true. 1 point perspective is actually a simplified version of 2-point perspective. As well as 2-point perspective is a simplified version of the 3 point perspective.
Basically we should draw everything with 3 points ! Haha. But in sketching, we like to use method that makes our life easier. 2 and 3 point are the most common perspective I use. But 1 is convenient for a room, a street with no high building for example.
