Follow along as I warm up with boxes in 2-point perspective. Try to do this for 15 minutes every day until the project video comes out.

This is a tought one in trying to figure out where the vanishing points lie off the page.

Been a little rusty-ish on drawing for while and I gotta keep on practicing on my straight lines as well

Had a couple month break from this course due to life changes. But back now! And Im happy that it seems like I retained it all. Excited to be back!

Very nice boxes in 2 points :D

Welcome back ! Im a fellow student a little ahead of you … and yes you have retained it . I enjoyed this too .

Warmups are fun! I'll try different angles as well.

Just one of the boxes seems to converge to a separate vanishing point.
Otherwise good job!

this warm up was really nice (my background from technical drawing in school), it's easy to understand where to put the points, i think i put some points close to the 2nd real one D:

Just wondering on how that works if a box has the two vanishing points on the left, or on the right of the cube...
Could someone give an example?

Ooo my cube's right angle wasn't right angle initially XD Still practicing those straight lines!

Here are my warm ups for 2 point perspective. I’ve been doing these before doing the lvl 1 portraits in perspective exercise.
it really helps looking at boxes in 3D. 😃

this was v fun!! It’s such mindless drawing, great warmup for lines and perspective. Also @Stan Prokopenko - pls drop the soundtrack, v relaxing!!

I'm not used to ballpoint pen it was super messy but here's my first attempt I will definitely be doing this a lot more it was super fun

Drawing in two point perspective feels more natural than drawing in 1pp. I guess it's because it's more natural without having the front face facing the viewer the whole time.

Not sure about the left box... Would you draw it like this?
Also, one other question: Here we just put the vanishing points where we want, but how you decide where to put the vanishing points if you want to construct a scene (like a room in the previous examples)?

What you're seeing here is an example of your vanishing points being placed too close together which gives an extremely warped perspective. If you wanted to show an extreme POV or a jarring perspective this can be used creatively to that effect! If you'd like to create a more naturalistic perspective for rooms or buildings, place your vanishing points further apart. Generally you don't want both vanishing points to be visible inside the picture plane. That said, in your examples you have all of your boxes going to the same vanishing points, which works if they're all oriented in the same direction, but if you have multiple boxes, rotated in different directions, each box will have it's own set of vanishing points. Hope this helps!

Yo! So this was a bit quiet, mostly due to the diagonal axis like Stan did in the warm up. I’ll have to rewatch the two point perspective video once again. I tried another this time without doing an infinite/out of sight vanishing point to slow help myself understand the concept more. My boxes/cubes could use some improvement. Feedback is always appreciated. Have a great day!

It’s really hard to figure out how to move something along one axis.
