Understanding Perspective in Drawing

The video tutorial introduces the concept of perspective in drawing, explaining key terms like the horizon line and vanishing point. It discusses how perspective affects the appearance of shapes such as squares, cubes, circles, and spheres. Techniques for drawing cylinders and pyramids in perspective are demonstrated. The importance of understanding perspective theory for practical drawing is emphasized, with references to Leonardo da Vinci's teachings.
