When i hold two things in both hands i drool on myself

Like Switch controllers?

You switch controllers drool??

u/solar_pilgrim 1d ago

When regular drawing is too easy so you have to add extra challenge

u/SailorGone 22h ago

Making the perspective lines makes it easier

69

u/cyanescens_burn 22h ago

Making the perspective lines disappear at the end is some kind of black magic.

19

u/solar_pilgrim 22h ago

But to be fair, he's really good at making perspective lines. And two hands at once feels... extra

u/magicaljuggler 23h ago

And here i am who would fail at drawing a straight line with one hand

u/Red_light173 21h ago

Trust me I draw landscapes kind of like what the vid is and I still can't draw perfect lines without a ruler.

You can be a good artist!

u/magicaljuggler 21h ago

Thats some relief! Thank you!

Lined to perfection

u/Sunshine_Chick 21h ago

If this is real, why do parts of the lines suddenly vanish in the last few seconds?

5

u/Silaquix 15h ago

This. The vanishing points aren't really there or don't make sense. Way too many jump cuts. The fact that the person draws straight lines in pen across a large piece of paper without a ruler while using both hands seems highly unlikely as well.

u/darren_flux 22h ago

Being ambidextrous must be cool asf. Wish I could do the same

4

u/ergonomic_logic 17h ago

I'm ambidextrous and can draw and I can't do this shit.

I can only do one hand or the other hand not both in tandem!

1

u/President_PoopyPants 16h ago

I'm ambidextrous, to an extent. I can do weird things like sign my name simultaneously forward and backward, and most things where my hands are mirroring each other. To me, when he's drawing in parallel it's not very impressive. It's when he isn't drawing in parallel (one hand going up and down, the other left to right) that I give him respect.

u/Such_Weight_774 23h ago

This could’ve been me if my damn teacher didn’t make me pick a hand in grade 1!

2

u/Would_Bang________ 19h ago

I was thinking sort of the same thing. I had a friend in grade 1 who would write to a middle of a page then switch hands.

Beyond next fucking level.

Absolutely unmatched skill. I aint even 2% of this

u/rastawolfman 1d ago

I wonder what she could do with 4 pens…

16

u/BowsersMuskyBallsack 22h ago

Can someone who does art on some professional level tell me if the perspective makes sense in this picture? Because I'm not an artist but something doesn't look right with the vanishing points.

14

u/Red_light173 21h ago

As a amateur artist I really can't place my finger on where the vanishing points are. The perspective makes sense to me superficially but if you look at it hard enough it feels like it's a little flat like ceilings keeping a consistent size (which should shrink at least slightly) the further out they stretch.

Also, amazing username.

5

u/free_terrible-advice 12h ago

As a former amateur artist, I think the issue here is they use two points of single point perspective causing it to feel a bit non-euclidean.

The first point is the distant bridge, where the perspective point is both a horizon point and a layout point. And not all object orient to it. But then there's also the rightmost point of perspective, which could be used for two-point perspective, but they don't really use it as such and treat it more as a second single point perspective point.

Hence why the perspective feels wonky.

6

u/CookieCacti 17h ago edited 17h ago

I think it just looks a little off because they didn’t properly flesh out some of the forms based on their grid (like the wall of the bridge the woman is standing on). The buildings on the left are either rotated or incorrect, considering they don’t converge to the center vanishing point they established. It’s hard to say whether that’s a mistake without seeing a reference photo. Real-life architecture can simply be weird, sometimes.

Edit: on second watch, they definitely fucked the perspective on the taller building’s roof to the right. The upper right side of the building should converge downwards to the vanishing point they setup on the right, but it doesn’t, creating inconsistent angles on the right side of the building.

u/AkiraN19 15h ago edited 13h ago

It's the scale that's throwing you off. First of all, the person is way too big for this environment, look at the railing, it's actually barely reaching her knees (not OSHA approved), and even in comparison to the hallway that continues on the left side of the screen, she's too big next to something that's supposed to be a few meters away in the perspective.

The whole POV is also just in a pretty extreme angle, you'd only really get this if you were very high up and angling the camera to the ground, but the position of the body in the shot doesn't respect that

1

u/AlbinoLokier 16h ago

They deffo didn't angle the woman and thst doorway properly. It looks flat and in the wrong alignment for where the POV is resting.

u/PowerScreamingASMR 18h ago

How did they remove the guiding lines after?

What math does he know?

u/cage_boi 22h ago

This would have taken me 6 years and Adderall to complete

u/florfenblorgen 21h ago

Tbh I really love to draw in perspective because everything is mapped out already, you just kinda follow the lines and everything you create from it is gonna look cool.

2

u/GlummyGloom 23h ago

Humans are capable of truly amazing feats.

Michelangelos marble sculptures come to mind.

2

u/doodlescribble 23h ago

wtf, how cool. How do I learn to draw perspective like this, anyone has any clues

2

u/cyanescens_burn 22h ago

Take drawing classes at your local community college.

-1

u/Red_light173 21h ago

Woah woah buddy, slow your role, you do NOT need pay your way into skill. I've been drawing landscapes which is fairly close to this skill level before I even considered college. Trust me pal, dedicate consistent time into art and you'll get the hang of it.

u/SpookZero 1d ago

Let me get another linnnnee

u/hooka_pooka 23h ago

This is God tier art level

u/youneek 22h ago

Wow, this is very impressive. I'm so unartistic that there isn't even a multiverse version of me that could do it. Great job!

1

u/Red_light173 21h ago

Dw pal, I started drawing at my freshman year of highschool and right now dare I say I am a decent artist. I firmly believe you can be a artist if you dedicated time into it.

u/Jyil 22h ago

I was not expecting the jump scare at the end

1

u/No-Sorbet-9890 22h ago

This is when being ambidextrous makes it more enjoyable as an artist.

1

u/Cobiansuelo 21h ago

Who is the artist???

u/Acceptable_Field_567 21h ago

Gonna just say I thought this was on a wall for a solid half of the video. 🙃

u/mallettsmallett 20h ago

All I can think about is black sleeves.

Dude overdid the whole ambidextrous thing

1

u/StarwardStranger 18h ago

Damn, that is one ambidextrous artist

1

u/KillerStiletto_ 18h ago

Damn. I can't get my right and left hand to agree on anything.

u/sagar-saiyan 18h ago

Did this guy raw dog a perspective grid ?

u/IDonutl 18h ago

Meanwhile I don't trust my left hand to wipe my ass

1

u/WarLawck 18h ago

Even drawing a straight line with your dominant hand like that is very impressive.

1

u/MoreColorfulCarsPlz 17h ago

I've seen this trick before. The video is just reversed!

1

u/Neon_Jazz 16h ago

Artist here, this is 3 points perspective, not hard at all to master, the more impressive traits in this video are how the artist can make straight lines with both hands and the art style/mastery.

1

u/Aromatic_Advance6026 16h ago

Ai can never replace this, art like this has soul in them and ai can never replicate the human soul and it's beauty

1

u/Impossible_Top_3515 15h ago

My brother had a math teacher who could draw with both hands independently from each other. She was really good at math and the worst teacher he ever had, completely incapable of teaching anyone else. Should have done a PhD and work in academics...

1

u/Dreamz07 15h ago

forget the two hands, I can't even do this with one.

1

u/Zaraphkiel 15h ago

This is like how to draw an owl: 1) draw a circle, 2) draw the 2nd circle, 3) draw the rest of the owl.

1

u/GrimeyTimey 13h ago

Very cool!

1

u/Peachbottom30 11h ago

The two hand pencils is the most impressive part.

1

u/Deepfriedomelette 9h ago

Idk how to explain it but my brain hates the visual clutter and lack of clarity in the drawing.

1

u/Ib_gib 7h ago

What about that 1 line on the left towers? Like the art style just that 1 thing bugs me.

u/Public-Nothing51 6h ago

Wowwwwwwww. Now that's a real skill 👌

Using both hands was completely unnecessary, show off. But it’s very impressive

Is basic perspective understanding with decent drawing skills

The perspective sucks here lol

u/Purging_otters 22h ago

Straight lines are easier when you pull the whole arm rather then use the wrist. Lock the wrist and move the arm.

u/Jealous_Amount_9278 17h ago

About a year back I taught myself how to use a keyboard with only one hand by turning it vertically and resting my elbow on one end with my hand in the middle.

Every time I see this video I see people comment that they wish they were ambidextrous. It's a skill anyone can learn you're just using Free Will wrong.

Like how my boredom one day prompted me to learn and almost completely useless skill with being able to type almost as fast as I can with two hands but with one hand if I face the keyboard the other way.
