Hi friends!
In this video I want to share with you a fun approach to drawing three dimensional shapes.
This is a great drawing and sketching exercise for beginners.
We will start with some standard shapes such as cubes, pyramids and cylinders. The we will look at how to create imaginative and made up shapes of your own.
This is something I've been doing for many years now, and really improved my visual perception and sketching skills.
I hope you enjoy this one and learn new things, and I will see you soon, in the next video! (:
- Liron

In another video could you focus on how to make “buildings” 3D and where to start from the base up. Corners and all. Thank you.
-
Thank you. I thought I was having a tough time with figure drawing and foreshortening but then I figured the problem was actually perspective and trouble visualizing 3D forms in different angles and overlapping each other. I guess for a lot of self taught artists that’s the problem and we just don’t realize it. Amazing how much progress I’ve made in things like drawing hands just with serious practice of basic form.

I put this lesson to use tonight by walking around my house, quickly sketching all sorts of objects and their shadows. There are shadows within shadows, and overlapping shadows. Really paid attention to what I was seeing. Will be doing a lot more of this. :)
-
You explain this better than anyone because you're drawing it as you explain it. Thank you.

Glad you made this video. My major issue is 3D and prospective drawing. I have been trying to get good at it for years. I decided to check this vid out and I enjoyed the lesson. After I feel comfortable practicing I will watch another one of yours. Thank you

Hi, I am new to your channel. Not good at drawing, but I have started to feel that I need to draw something to feel better! Your videos are so good to watch and very encouraging to practise some techniques. Thank you so much ❤

This is helpful. I've been trying to do at least 20 3D shapes a day in my drawing warm-up. In addition to trying to change the angle, I've been trying to transform them by stretching, compressing, or twisting (I find this really hard). So for example, imagine pushing down on the point of a pyramid so that the edges of the pyramid bow out, or pulling on it so they draw in. Or twisting the top in relation to the base. You can do this with cubes, cylinders, etc.

This is very helpful! Would love to see more on perspective. For example, a line of fence posts receding in the distance: isn't there a quick formula on the height and distance of the posts (seems someone showed me one, I have forgotten.) How about the size of people in the street compared to distance and the building perspective? Maybe give tips and the mistakes commonly made. Your videos are really awesome!
-
This is really useful! Especially when you did the random shape. My family doesn’t really do art so they don’t know how to make 3D shapes! My teachers suggested this video for my class and they definitely made a good choice!
-
This was great. Especially like the random shape. Really help me train my eye. Also loved how you did a quick application drawing the building at the end..
-
Thank you! This so great! I'd love to see more about learning to show light and shadow.
-
you really inspire me to draw!! I love your videos, please continue with the incredible content!
-
Getting ellipses to line up. Like a cup sitting on top of a saucer. Or concentric ellipses, like a tire, with hub cap. This is so hard for me.
-
I would definitely want to see shading of contours. I will look to see if you already have a video posted! Great video!!
-
Great, former math teacher who loves solid geometry. A cube has all equal edges. If some are long and some short, it is a rectangular solid. Triangular solid is a tetrahedron.
-
Fantastic. Thought on perspective is great.
-
It would be really hlpful if u made a video on light and shadows How to decide shadows with changing light source and perspective
-
In your video about the vanishing point, can you teach us how we know/decide where to put it ? Great exercices, I'll definitely practice them later today!
-
Thanks Liron. I've been working on my drawing and this helps. Foreshortening and perspective don't always come easy for me but I work at it. Thanks for the video class!
-
Great video. Thank you so much!
