LESSON NOTES
In this lesson, I'll show you two important perspective techniques: the X and the X-ray.
The X technique helps you find the midpoint of rectangles, which is key for keeping things in proportion especially when you have repeating sections. The X-ray technique is great for dealing with parts of your drawing you can't see. I'll walk you through drawing Steve from Minecraft so you can see how these techniques help you construct complex structures in 2-point perspective.

Try out these two perspective drawing tricks to improve your accuracy. The 'X' and 'X-ray' techniques are great for getting the alignment, symmetry, and proportions right when constructing a drawing.
How would you apply this to normal human anatomy? Like when the arm is behind the rest of the body? That is something I have always struggled with. With boxes it now makes sense but what about more organic figures
There is something off about the head... but I can't see what it is.
My guess is that I messed up some of the angles at one point, and that slowly added up to the head having a weird, unnatural shape rather than a cube.
Dtawing a centerline along the side of the torso made it a lot easier to judge the depth of the head.
I forgot to save line art after fixing the head:(. But second photo head is fixed! Had a lot of fun drawing:)
Minecraft Steve right around the time when the minecraft movie came out, what a funny coincidence!
