Free Hand Drawing in Two-Point Perspective

Video Transcript

"CRAIG BROWDER: What I'm going to do is actually I'm going to unstick the paper from the desk and I'm going to spin it. This is a new technique that I haven't talked about yet in any of my things. This is more for freehanding. Well, I will talk about freehanding in the next section. So, basically I'm going to just unstick this guy. And this way, if you see it I can spin in any directions. My hand likes this motion, I can spin it and I can come in, you know, and take my time make it nice and clean instead of having to make my hand do this weird thing that it doesn't really necessary flow our words, this way my hand does. Now, you will find your own way of how your hand flows. So, I want you to do that. It's all about just executing at this point. But if you're thinking how do I apply this to real life or whatever, I mean, this is essentially how they would start, you know, a car, like the shell of a car, or any type of object, product, toaster, whatever, design a toaster, or a chair. There you go. You've kind of got the shoe shape. And we could, I like to cut through as whatever is here, the shape that you have created here. That is basically, how you would--tell you would start an approach of a three dimensional shape or more of an organic shape, that is how you would build it in two point perspective. So, like I said, it can get tricky but if you just take your time with it and practice, and make sure you do everything. I took some shortcuts granted, but if you make everything with a box structure, put everything in a box, and cut from the box, like I said with the X method, you know finding the center of the box and then making a shape, then picking points to mirror across, and creating the same box on the other side in perspective, so you can just follow that line and do the same thing. So, if you remember how to do that, then you will be able to create almost anything. "
