How to Draw Simple Shapes

CRAIG BROWDER: All right, today on this section, I'm going to do--I've got another 2-point perspective, but we're going to get a lot crazier with the shapes. We're going to use--we're going to kind of start off with your basic shape like a box, but then we're going to start going into different planes and doing cut throughs, and all sorts of crazy stuff. And eventually, we're going to--I'm going to show you how to break the rules by using the rules. So let's get started if you're ready. Today's lesson is kind of just to show you how to see through all the lines and pick up your shapes that you're working with. So go ahead and line this guy up. Okay, we've got the starting of this box here, but since this is how we're going to do more like, more creative shapes, we're going to totally just kind of start jamming other boxes together and how we could do that. So this is kind of, how you how to, so we're going to--instead having this guy kind of come off, we're actually going to send up, so let's do another parallel line but we're going to start from this line here. And you could any point in the line, it doesn't really matter, but I', just going to pick a rim spot and make sure its parallel with--on the other parallel lines you've got going here. And we're actually going to go above.
