Did you ever see that wonderful episode of Father Ted where Ted explains Near and Far to Father Dougal? Check it out here!    • Father Ted | On Holiday   Patreon Patron, Megan, says she cannot get here head around foreshortening, so I made here this video. See my patreon page here: www.patyreon.com/shoorayner

Perspective is one thing to get your head around, but foreshortening can be quite a mindtwister. Basically it is explained using perspective.

If you put your hand over your face and look in the mirror, it pretty much covers from chin to brow. Now move your hand arm's length and it will cover the whole head. Things nearer to the viewer appear larger than things further away. So a cow in the barn next to you is much bigger than the cat three fields away.

Drawing people with hands or legs outstretched towards the viewer can cause problems when drawing, but if you take a logical, perspective view, it all begins to make sense.

Shoo Rayner is an awardwinning illustrator and author of over 200 books for children.

The Shoo Rayner Drawing Channel won the 2011 YouTube NextUp award and is dedicated to teaching, promoting and inspiring drawing for everyone from beginners to experts who like to see how other people do what they do.

Shoo believes that everyone can draw but they lose confidence at school when they think they have to make their drawings look perfect or in a recognised classic style.

Drawing is just making marks on paper and you are allowed to draw anyway you like

Drawing is all about getting ideas out of you head and on to paper, it's about understanding how the world is put together and it's about having fun, with no stress, just drawing for fun.

Make sure you are subscribed for new drawings every Monday and Friday in you inbox and learn to draw better and with confidence with Shoo. ➡ http://bit.ly/Sub2Shoo'>http://bit.ly/Sub2Shoo
