How to Draw Perspective For Beginners

Understanding the Fundamentals of Perspective Drawing

What's Inside

Dear Friend,

Do you struggle with making your perspective drawings or paintings look “right”?

Do you have a hard time with adding dimension and realism to your landscape drawings or paintings?

Are you frustrated by complicated perspective books that confuse you with weird formulas and theories… when you just want a down-to-earth explanation?

If you can relate to any of these questions, then you’ve come to the right place because I’ve got the exact answer you’ve been looking for.

As you probably already know, knowing how to draw perspective is an absolutely essential requirement for any serious artist.

It doesn’t matter if you are into oil painting, watercolor, acrylic, figure drawing or landscape drawing…you need to know how to work with perspective if you ever want to make your work realistic and beautiful.

Why Is Perspective So Important?

Because perspective is basically the art of making 2 dimensional drawings look 3 dimensional, it is essential in any art form.

For example, if you wanted to painting scene in watercolor, you would need to understand perspective in order to give your drawing depth. You’d need to know how to angle your lines and brush strokes in order to give the illusion that certain objects are further away than others.

Without perspective, your painting or drawing is simply lifeless and boring.

This is true even if you are drawing figures or portraits. Unless you always want to draw your figures and portraits from a static front angle (which is of course, very boring), you need to know how perspective work so you can make your drawings more dynamic.

That’s why I spent months meticulously breaking down the subject and created the most beginner-friendly and informative course on perspective you will ever find.

This course is divided into separate online video lessons. Each lesson covers a different element of the perspective drawing formula in a very step-by-step way so you’ll never be overwhelmed.

We’ll start off by different concepts and techniques of perspective to help you fully understand the subject and along the way, you’ll be given simple step-by-step exercises that will gradually increase you skill level at drawing perspective. This way the learning process will be fun rather than overwhelming.

You’ll be able to watch over my shoulder as I show you (in detail) everything you need to know. You’ll get step-by-step instruction guiding you through every step of the way.

And you’ll be able to watch these videos anytime from the comfort of your own home.

Here’s Just a Few of The Things You’re Going to Learn in This Course:

  • What is perspective and why it’s important
  • How to use simple tricks like “overlap”, “object placement”, and “size variation” to create an illusion of depth in your drawings or paintings
  • All the different elements of a perspective drawing finally explained (vanishing points, horizon line, picture plane, etc)
  • 2 simple tricks to instantly locate the eye level of any drawing you look at (this will help you to make sense of the scene and drawing it better)
  • What 1-point perspective is and how it can turn into 2-point and 3-point perspective
  • How to determine where to place your vanishing points in a draw for the best results
  • A super simple and accurate technique to help you deal with vanishing points that are not on the drawing paper
  • How to draw shadows in perspective (this will add an instant realistic effect to your work and really brings it to life)
  • Step-by-step instructions on how to draw scenes in 1-point, 2-point, and 3-point perspective.
  • How to use the diagonal method to find the perspective center of any objects (this technique is great if you want to draw symmetrical objects like doors or windows or houses)
  • The right way to draw crowds of people (or any group of objects) in perspective
  • A brilliant way to measure distance and divide space in perspective (this will help you do draw tile floors, building windows, tree lines, or any other evenly spaced objects)
  • Simple techniques for making cityscape buildings look realistic
  • And a whole lot more…

This course will hold you by the hand and literally lead you ever step of the way until you draw your first realistic perspective drawing.
