Hi! I noticed that the English subtitles are not aligned with the audio. Could you please adjust the timing? Thanks!

Waterfall rapids were among the last things I'd expected to see being studied here and my mind was blown! Now I can see so clearly perspective principles at play. So then I decided to look deeper and fell into a rabbit hole. Here's a few more things where perspective can be found :D 1. ☁ Clouds are forms and their under planes are receding. They get thinner and thinner as they approach the horizon. 2. 🍖 This meat is just a simple box! We can clearly see the different planes and how light interacts with them. 3. 🌻 A sunflower field where flowers are receding. 4. 🧼 Bubbles! Let us be reminded that everything in space has different sizes so how they look in perspective is completely individual, they simply exist in the same scene following the same rules. 5. 🐤 And bonus, a cute budgie birb. We can see its contour lines already there informing us of its rounded form! Basically, EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE that exists has perspective.

I took a close look at the image to see what I could learn from it. Focusing on images without distractions is really helpful.

Can’t wait! Over the years, I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the more complex concepts of perspective drawing. There are two things I constantly struggle with or just can’t seem to fully grasp: 1.) When I study images to understand perspective, I have trouble identifying the type of perspective and which lines to follow. For example (see the first image), it’s a painting with buildings, and I try to use the geometric shapes of the buildings to figure out where the perspective lines are converging. But it quickly gets confusing—there are so many lines... which ones are the key ones? 2.) I understand 2-point perspective in general, but when it comes to figuring out equal measurements for objects within the 2-point perspective plane, how can I solve it geometrically by drawing it out—like using guide lines based on the vanishing points? (See the second image.) I’d like to figure this out quickly, using just perspective techniques—without needing a calculator or compass. Aside from that, I’m super excited for the course to start!
