Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.- Vincent Van GoghtheDesignerStarterKit Seeing in perspective
The first step of PerspectiveMY COMMENTSPerspective always looks unfriendly to learn. However, it is amajor part of a designer’s skillset. Imagine how many moreoptions you have to represent things if you can do it frommultiple angles. Plus, learning perspective will help your imagination and conceptualization skills. Keep it up! One andtwo-point perspective are actually quite easy (for this guide, I’llignore 3-point perspective).theDesignerStarterKit Seeing in perspectiveThere are two major challengers beginners normally face. Thesecan be solved easily as long as they are well-identified. Beginnersare often confused by the order in which different parts of perspective lines are drawn. Thus, they don’t understand the logic behindperspective. This tutorial will walk you through a drawingstep-by-step. The second difficulty stems from the inaccuracy ofbeginners’ lines. As you should now have a grasp of straight lines,your drawing will be more precise, and you’ll be ready to studyperspective in drawings.1

draw an other square for the back face the corners touch the converging lines. can you see the premice of a cube ? to make it obvious bold the square join each corner to the vanishing point. now you know how to make a cube. draw the cube from every angle at least once.
