Drawing Lesson: Asymmetrical Box

Video Transcript

Now I've shown everything as far as two point, three point. I'm going to show how to draw an asymmetrical box. This is really simple. Asymmetrical is more of how to show a sense of real skill because everything I'm drawing is kind of small. If you were to actually see something that you would draw in real life you would have, the vanishing points would be way, way, way far off the paper. So most of this stuff you can almost draw asymmetrically if you're trying to draw an accurate box. I'm going to show you how to draw it. Not going to pick any vanish points or horizon lint for this one. Just going to start with a point and a line going straight up. Asymmetric means that the lines that are going away from the paper, like where your vanishing points would be, are not existent. They're basically perpendicular. We're going to take two perpendicular lines going this way and that way. We'll start with this way first. Since we're trying to keep it asymmetrical so that means this line is basically have to go up here so it's a good thing you just kind of keep it straight and just eye ball it and look at it. There's an official way to do it but it takes a lot of time. This way, trust your eyes, your eyes are usually right. You can measure it if you want up here, but it's easier just to do it this way. Let's do it on this side. Just like we would with the parallel line pick the corner of the box. So now not only like in two point perspective are these lines run parallel, these lines also run parallel. That's how you call an asymmetrical.
