Drawing a cube in 2 point perspective Drawing a cube above or below the horizon line in 2 point perspective Using a grid for quick and easy perspective drawing Some tips about ellipses(circles in perspective) using blocks to create ellipses Some samples of perspective drawings: 1 pt. Perspective Using blocks to build basic shapes, refining shapes with more detail 2 pt. perspective grid sketch Finished drawing after building basic shapes in perspective: Using 2 and 3 point perspective grids to sketch more organic shapes (people) but still using blocks and simple shapes refined drawing based on sketch5 above 2 point perspective grid drawing focussed on architecture of building and placement of people in the environment finished drawing based on above sketch
Hi all, the drawing you are all working on deals with perspective - in particular, an exaggerated perspective. This means to deal with objec...
So here it is, four-point perspective in all its glory. It reminds me of looking out o window in New York City. If you were at the height of obout the
There are several types of perspective - so which one should you use and when? In this article, you’ll get an overview of linear and curvilinear perspective types and I’ll show you examples for each of them. By the end of this blog post, you’ll know what each type of perspective is suitable for and
UNDERSTANDING PERSPECTIVE Teacher Samples (above) Student examples January 2023 High School Middle School Max Garman, Jasmin Duran, Michelle Camargo, & Courtney Nguyen Melanie Camargo 8th grade Jaedyn Short 8th grade Kaden, Wesley Fosnight, Carl Adair, & Aiden Cowart Ariel Stone, Jazmyn Ortega, Kaylee Reed, Selena Martinez, Eduardo M., Paislee Hall, Wyatt Salonen, Cadance Barrera Jarezi & Kalie Kinslee Harle & Madison Mendez Layel Rodgers Vocabulary: Eye Level- Your personal perspective of what you see at one time. Usually…. Anything above your e.l., you see the bottom. Anything below your e.l., you see the top. Anything to the Right, you see the left side. Anything to the Left, You see the right side. Horizon Line- Where the ground meets the sky, floor meets the wall, H.L. is at your eye level. Contour Line- when lines bend on a form to conform to the outer edge. Vanishing Point- The point where lines vanish at your eye level or horizon line. Foreshortening- When something seems bigger, smaller, shorter, or taller because of your perspective. Joshua Nava https://www.joshuanava.biz/realistic/define-realistic-drawing.html 1. PIPES UP, PIPES DOWN Foreshortening: Draw ovals above and below eye level. The ovals closer to the eye level should be shorter. Beginning with the ovals closets to the top and bottom, Draw lines from corners of ovals going away from eye level. Emphasize with marker. Challenge: Add creativity, shading, background. 2. STALACTITES AND STALAGMITES Stalactites are natural cave formations ABOVE your eye level and Stalagmites are BELOW your eye level. Martin Hargreaves, Illustrator Make eye level at center of box. Make bumpy triangles going upward and downward. Keep top ones above eye level And bottom ones below eye level. Use overlapping, getting smaller as you go back into space of cave. Use contour lines Bend lines upward above eye level And downward below eye level. 3. POPPING PUZZLE PIECES These will focus on contour line and eye level. Draw deep curvy lines going longer horizontally. Draw free from blobs longer horizontally. Starting with lowest areas first, Draw lines going downward from the furthest point of each curve. Go upward to next curves. Use lines the follow the contour of where they came from.

Each box will be different because of your eye level. Fold paper into 3 by 3. Draw boxes inside fold lines. These fold lines are your “frames” of your tunnels. Make a dot in the middle of the middle box. This dot is your vanishing point & eye level. Connect each corner of the box that does not cut through the frames. You cannot draw in the frames, only in the tunnels. Have a constant light source. Mine is at top center. 2 opposing sides should be shaded medium. One side should be dark and opposing side light. As the tunnel goes back towards the vanishing point, it should also get darker. Click Art above to get more in depth with project Source Unknown Showing Boxes rather than tunnels. ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Using the clues from above on Eye Level, Foreshortened Circles, and Contour Line, Are these Japanese Lanterns at, below, or above your eye level?
