Being able to draw simple boxes from any angle is important as a prelude to drawing more complex objects from any angle you wish. These 3 videos should help to review this idea (ignore the imbedded titles as they are part of a longer series on perspective):

Teaching and Demonstrating
August 5th, 2018
Opus, Granville Island
After graduating from art school (where no one demonstrated anything – no kidding!) I took some drawing and painting classes with Canadian Painter (and War Artist) Sam Black. He was an awesome teacher. In fact he won the Governor General’s Award for Teaching. At the center of his teaching method was the ‘demo’ . He had clear concepts – He could articulate and demonstrate them – he was fearless!
I decided THAT was worth doing and I have endeavored to emulate Sam for all my career. Here are some of my in-class demonstration pieces. The foundation for me is perspective drawing.
I will be giving a Demonstration on this subject at Opus Framing and Artist’s Materials on Granville Island in Vancouver, Sunday August 5 – this coming summer – 2018.
The focus will be travel-related images. Not so much about nostalgia for far away places, but about the wonderful, often unfamiliar, forms you can encounter in places that grew over time and in different cultures – Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Greece, and elsewhere.

I am occasionally invited to demonstrate at the Opus Artist Materials store on Granville Island. Here is a series of 4 videos on the subject of Perspective, including some applications to drawing figures and boats, curvy things. This would be a good overview, about 1.5 hours in length.
