Tips on simple Perspectives

Perspective Drawing

Why hello there:) As requested, i did more of perspective sketching today! Perspective is really simple, you just need to get the hang of it:)

Like I've said, Perspective is really important when it comes to sketching buildings, boxes and other standard shapes.

  I'll start my sketch with a box. It's easier to sketch within a box on a piece of paper to allow you to have the space to mark the perspectives.

 Indicate your line of horizon. You can choose, anywhere, according to how deep you want the sketch to look.

 Mark where you want to start the main point

 Draw 2 diagonals. this is the road..?! street..? yea that haha

 Then mark the other 2 markings. Of course you can have those markings outside the paper and imagine the markings and estimate. Just don't estimate too far off the point! you'll know why soon hahhaha

 So i'm starting with the nearest building.. It's like drawing a cuboid. same as the one in the previous post:)

 Perspectives applies to everything! Windows too:) It's very tedious but it makes everything look more proportionate compared to drawing them without using the markings.

 I'll just do one, imagine the rest with windows, i'm sure you can hahahha yea.. and shading. I'm only using 2B so the contrast isn't so obvious but anyway I'm assuming the light comes from the far end of the road/ street hahha

 Perspectives for other shapes.. Or when you're drawing people too!

Mark your furthest point first

 draw your guidelines. Okay i missed out one in this picture which i will add it in later hahahahha

Yep so you divide roughly according to the proportions of the people and follow the guidelines. Remember the shoulders must follow along the lines and not be horizontal!

i should use a better eraser hahaha but it should look something like that!

I'd be posting about painting next! or maybe faces.. Anyway, thank you for your comments and requests on our posts:)
