Explanation:
This is a fairly short video, (8.5mins), that gives a quick explanation of the differences between 1, 2 & 3 point perspective.
If you don't yet know how to drawing in perspective, or if you need a refresher, watch it and have a go at the processes that are shown.
This video will explain Vanishing points and Eye Line to you.
Perspective TERMINOLOGY
Perspective TERMINOLOGY
The Horizon Line
The Horizon Line
Physical/visual boundary where sky separates from land or water.
Is essential in art because it allows you to control the height of a viewer's eye as they look at the picture.
The Vanishing Point
The Vanishing Point
Point of disappearance, cessation, or extinction
Point toward which receding parallel lines converge (on or off your canvas)
Also called main focal point
Horizontal and Vertical Lines
Horizontal and Vertical Lines
Used to construct front-facing sides of your object
Horizontal line runs left-to-right across the page
Vertical line runs up and down the page
Orthogonal Lines
Orthogonal Lines
Lines that run from your Vanishing Point/s across the canvas (or beyond)
Relevant for all types of perspective
Foreshortening
Foreshortening
The closer you get to the vanishing point, the smaller your objects appear to the viewer
Relevant for all types of perspective
How to Draw like KIM JUNG Gi
How to Draw like KIM JUNG Gi
See how Kim Jung Gi uses perspective in his drawings. Not with an XYZ grid, but using the drawing lines as if they are part of a grid.
Types of Perspective
Types of Perspective
One Point
One Point
Surfaces that face the viewer are drawn using their true shape
Surfaces that travel away from the viewer converge towards a single vanishing point
Two point
Two point
Vanishing points should be outside of your actual drawing, far away from the scene you are creating
three point
three point
Slight adaption of two-point
Conveys the illusion of height
Foreshortening
Foreshortening
Draw your character in perspective
