This 11-minute tutorial from Proko teaches how to simplify perspective drawing by using the three primary axes. Learn to navigate three-dimensional space by labeling the X (width), Y (height), and Z (depth) axes in your sketches, even as objects move or rotate. Start with simple objects aligned to these axes before progressing to more complex forms with diagonal lines that move across multiple axes simultaneously. This labeling technique expands spatial awareness and improves your ability to draw objects and environments in perspective. The video includes practical assignments to reinforce the concepts and is part of Proko's comprehensive perspective course. Chapters cover introduction to axes, naming conventions, practical assignments, and concluding thoughts.
