Hello, i have a question for each of you guys. I'm grateful if someone can help!
All of my problem is exposed on this picture below, it's about ROTATION of a BOX IN SPACE!

HELP WITH ROTATIONS IN PERSPECTIVE by Nearys

I'm sorry to use artist's profile for asking things but i really would like to have answers

Hmm, Is this for animating or drawing? Anyway I would probably draw a cross or a circle in the center and then straight lines from the center to the corners. I would rotate this part as I want and then draw the outlines of the box from that. Then, when you are rotating the item, you just need to focus on the corners position. It can be a help to have different colours for the lines so that the brain gets a grip of the perspection. You can also use a lego or a nother referens :) Was that the question or did I explain it in a bad way? Send me a note if you have questions :)

Hey FromArtToMagic, thanks for taking time to answer my question.

It is for each of them, an animation or a drawing.
Yep you did explain it well :) .

Well, as you mention it at the end of your comment, i would have another question.
Do you draw with references sometimes? If you do, how do you manage the perspective of each things you can see on the photo? Do you juste copy the lines you see or do you understand where the lines are really going in space?
Because when i draw with references, the problem i have is that i don't understand where the object really goes in space, i don't know where the vanishing points are. So i work with a lot of feelings (and someone told me he does the same, so maybe it is the correct way to think and not try to be too mathematically exact?) to manage the perspective of each object i can see.

i hope i explained my problem well! x)
