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.

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.

Very good. Maybe 2 or 3 more (difficult) objecets at the end of the final lesson would be awesome :).

I took all serious and all are so detailed, If an elaboration on drawing eclipse , cylinder and spear inside boxes of perspective, It would have been great

Still early in the course, but like Part:1 in the series; the information is very in-depth, without being overwhelming and easy to follow... I'm excited to get further and further.

I left this rating so far because the course is good, but very confusing, had to rewind to episode 2, 3 times to finally perfect episode 4.

This course is all about perspective. The instructor shows, in a very clear way, how to draw the three key shapes in perspective, which is exactly what I believe every artist needs to know if he or she wants to become competent at drawing, painting, sculpturing, etc. I'm half way through the course and I have already seen major improvement in my practice drawings. I'm really glad I chose this course.

The course is well explained with helpful animations. Ethan is clearly an expert in his subject matter and very logical. The presentation does not waste time and is to the point. Ethan, please upload all your content to Udemy. I can recommend all his courses I've seen so far.

This course can be very boring but Ethan again makes the study of drawing in perspective bearable with clear and simple instructions on drawing first in geometrical shapes. The knowledge on how to draw 3D geometrical shapes can then be applied to drawing common objects in perspective. When practice drawing on paper, it can become a chore to erase contour lines to the vanishing points. But if one know how to draw simple line in photoshop, they can speed thing up. Since this skill is so fundamental I would want to practice both on paper and with Photoshop. I hope that what I learn here can be applied to portraiture or still-life drawing later on.

I finished a previous udemy course on art fundamentals and initially I thought there would be nothing new to learn from this short course, but I was wrong! It gave me a better understanding on perspectives and the basic shapes and my sketches are improving because of this knowledge!
