Freehand Perspective Drawing Tutorialby *AdamMasterman

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Traditional Art / Drawing / Perspective

Another tutorial, my first that actually deals with drawing skills. I tried to keep this very concise, more pictures than words, so there might not be as much information as should be. Hopefully its still helpful, and I'm always happy to clarify stuff, just let me know.

BTW, this tutorial is almost, but not quite, for beginners. It assumes some basic exposure to linear perspective, and is designed to help people get more comfortable with perspective, and find new and better ways to use it.

Edit: Wow, much thanks for the great positive response to this. If I had known this was going to see this much traffic, I would have checked my spelling more carefully.

I was debating making a part two dealing with curved perspective; which I'll definitely try to get done in the next few weeks. Thanks for all your comments, apologies if I don't respond; you folks have flooded me.

Edit 2: Wow, a DD... now I REALLY wish I had checked my spelling and grammar.

Thanks for the comments and faves, everyone; really glad to hear that this has been helpful. I've learned so much from all the great tutorials here on dA, so hopefully this pays some of that forward a little bit. And thank you to

and

for the nod; very appreciated.

Holy cheese. This helped me in so many ways. (My tutor doesn't go straight to the point when she was teaching our class on this topic D

Thanks so much for simplifying what i thought was difficult c:

This was excellent! As an absolute beginner to perspective, I found this intuitive and extremely easy to use - thank you!! Do you have any tips for drawing people in perspective?

*AdamMasterman Apr 17, 2013

Thanks, glad it helped. People are the hardest, for sure. The simple answer is to use some simple perspective lines to keep knees, wrists, etc. lined up in perspective. Hard to sum up, so I made a quick video for you: [link] Its sloppy, but hopefully it gives an idea of what I meant.

~YourFaithfulCaptain Apr 18, 2013

Thank you so much! Gah, this is all very useful, though I suppose as with anything it just takes practice.

~AnimatixReels Apr 17, 2013 Student Filmographer

The part I don't understand is, how many perspective lines do you need to draw?

*dracostarhome Apr 6, 2013

my high school teacher tried to teach me this.

tried being the operative word. I can do this to a point, but I have trouble drawing one person at one size and that SAME person... further back and still be correct.

*AdamMasterman Apr 10, 2013

Actually, Loomis had a great trick for that: just make sure that the horizon line cuts through each figure in the exact same part of their body (neck, waist, ankles, etc.). If they are all correctly proportioned, they will automatically be in correct perspective. It gets trickier with a high horizon line (you have to construct additional heads on top of the figures actual heads up to the horizon), but its generally a pretty easy and useful technique.

Well shit, thanks a lot, this'll come in really handy

~Fosi007 Mar 26, 2013
