LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
In the premium lesson, you'll learn the two-point boxes warm-up, a foundational exercise designed to practice perspective. You'll learn to:
- Set up a dynamic scene with a low horizon line and strategically placed vanishing points.
- Begin with the first box, focusing on the edge closest to you, and progress with confidence using a pen to commit to clean, deliberate lines.
- Utilize guidelines to accurately find the second vanishing point and create cubes that can be adjusted for proper perspective.
- Apply creativity to transform basic boxes into complex objects, while learning from mistakes to refine your technique.
- Understand the effects of angles near the horizon and how to adjust the picture plane to control distortion in your drawings.
This exercise is not just about warming up; it's about building a solid foundation for more complex projects. Get the full lesson in the premium course!

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.
Quick warm up using a regular Bic :D
I rarely draw with pen and Stan is right that it keeps things really clean.
Strangely, it felt much cleaner to draw boxes than it did to draw books. Or, maybe it was the stacking of boxes and changing them around that messed with my head. Hard to tell! (ps. just realized that I forgot to put one vanishing point off the page.)
2 Points on the page and another one for 1 Point boxes, I think it is possible and correct to combine them like this

It sure is! As you get further into perspective you'll learn how to setup different vanishing points within the same drawing at will. Looks good.
Thought I'd love to learn perspective, but I'm struggling. I keep using the ruler bc my guesstimates of the off page vanishing point are way off. I retried the book exercise multiple times; even when it looked okay, I could not replicate my results bc I don't really understand why it worked. I've lost confidence in my ability to intuit the shape of a box. Very frustrating.

Don't beat yourself up over it. Perspective is one of those things that intellectually makes sense, i.e. we can think it out, but is hard to get intuitively at first. Start with the little rules, things like "if something is further away, it will seem smaller" and "lines will converge to a vanishing point" and just have faith that those will become natural over time. Don't be afraid to use a ruler if that's what it takes to get you there. In time, things will start to click. Keep at it.
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!
Welcome back ! Im a fellow student a little ahead of you … and yes you have retained it . I enjoyed this too .
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. 😃
