  1. 2:40 "affects the lingth". You pronounce length as lingth, but sound basically American – must have some Australian influence in your accent somewhere?

  2. At this point I’m giving up on art. I tried pencil and paper NO, I tried Acrylic painting- NO, now I’m trying digital art and it’s already flopping. I don’t think art is for me bc if you’re just starting, ofc it’s not gonna be very good but it just bothers me so badly. I feel like I’m never gonna get better. I’m not getting that satisfying feeling, I get STRESS😭

  3. Using geometric shapes to set the contour lines of the body along with lines for the stick-figure, do you have suggestions on how to use the cross-contour lines to define & maintain the proportions of the body while drawing in perspective? As this video defines foreshortening, would you consider following it with one which demonstrates how to determine correct/better/more precise line length(s) when drawing In perspective?

  4. don't blame him for your lack of comprehension, he said the key to foreshortening if you didn't understand that's on you, this was really helpful!

  5. Is there a drawing tutorial channel that doesn't talk down to viewers like they are morons who are perplexed by the idea of space or distance?

  6. I'm trying to find out how the proportions, how the percentage of change occurs to line lengths. this has not been helpful in that regard. it is a helpful tip to simplify the forms and add cross contours but the glaring issues is know how big to make things when close up and how small to make them at distance. I will keep looking, if i find something I shall return and add a link…………… IM BACK! https://youtu.be/wApKArpbxmY?t=439 VERY HELPFUL IN UNDERSTANDING SIZE CHANGE!
