like, fr, how do i learn how to draw in perspective?

[sly umbra]

i've been drawing triangles, balls and circles for 2 weeks but i can't do it right, will repetition really solve this? i sent with this post a image showing a pracitce i was doing, i've been tyring to do that POV right for 10 minutes, which tbh is fucking ridiculous considering it's just a cube
help please?

study simple 2 point perspective and vanishing points.

[modern breach]

Been there done that. Definitely study 2 points perspective, breakdown building by tracing to get a good idea of how it'll look

[sly umbra]

ok.. how do i... study that?

cuz i already did that thing of drawing vanishing points in photos and stuff

[silk breach]

2 ways to try it. 1st, place 2 dots as your horizon line and try to draw a cube using them. if that's confusing i can provide examples. second one is just tracing cubes to understand how it's done ( tracing is normally bad but if you use it to learn, it can be a great tool.)

[sly umbra]

oh yeye, i already trianed that, i've been switching between doing that on my PC and drawing objects and stuff on my notebook, i just can't draw it in perspective without the assist

[silk breach]

so it's the angle that confuses you?

[heady heart]

watch danbeardshaw on youtube

he had has great tutorials ,

perspective is just a bunch of rules

you just need to learn them

i can also add that

the original image is in 3 points

not 2 points

[sly umbra]

uh, no, i guess it's weird to put on words, but like, i tihnk the words is i haven't "internalized" it?

[heady heart]

the vertical lines should also converge slightly

[sly umbra]

like, usully when you do something, or is practicing something there's that moment where you jsut go like "oh" and it clicks?

[silk breach]

u want it to feel natural when practicing if i understand correctly?

[sly umbra]

it's not happening to me

[sly umbra]

not completely, i understand i am shit, but i want to ahve some level of skill in it?

[silk breach]

tbh what made it click for me was just learning how perspective works and then copying cubes/angles that i was uncomfortable with. and don't call yourself shit, we all start somewhere and u started learning the correct way which i respect

[heady heart]

do you mean you want to have an intution for it?

to get it down without having to think much about it?

[silk breach]

some things in art you just gotta learn the basics and then grind that for a while, it's boring but that's what works for me

[sly umbra]

nono, i just wanna know wha ti am doing

[heady heart]

you gotta learn rules perspective then

[sly umbra]

i don't wanan do it without thinkind, i jsut wanna know what i am doing

[heady heart]

if you learn all the basic

perspective is actually really easy

[sly umbra]

it's just taht like, someone told me a good way to learn si to copy fomr real life, but i am failing at copying from real life, because i can't copy it, it doesn't match u know?

[heady heart]

i think you need to first know like

what stuff means

what is a vanishing point?

where do i place them?

before you can observe

[silk breach]

i totally understand that, you might not like your results at first so try something: save this attempt, keep trying to replicate cubes from real life for a week. after each copy take note of what you think is wrong, and try to avoid that mistake.

i believe that in a week you should see improvements

[sly umbra]

uh, i've been drawung cubes and stuff for 2 weeks

actually it's more like a month, but specifically cubes it's only been 2 weeks

[silk breach]

well some people can take longer at understanding things and that's ok. when i started doing art it took me 2 months to understand basic shapes and draw them in perspective correctly from imagination.
