The next few week will be broken down by a type of perspective each day. For example, a one-point perspective drawing has one vanishing point. The name of the type of perspective will refer to the amount of vanishing points used in creating a drawing. You can use these lines to guide yourself when drawing in details of the picture. The railings of the pier are good examples of perspectives lines. All lines should converge at the vanishing point and are used to help create guidelines for drawing in other details of the picture. Perspective lines: These are lines that can be drawn from the outside of a picture to the vanishing point.
In the photo below, the vanishing point is depicted in light blue. Objects become smaller the further they are away and the vanishing point is, well, the point where these things vanish. Vanishing point: This is the point on the horizon line that objects typically converge, or disappear.
In a scene of someone driving down an empty road around empty land, the horizon line will be the break between land and sky. Imagining this line in different scenes will allow you to establish your perspective. Horizon line: In the photo below of a pier, the horizon line is found in the break between ocean and sky. In this guide, I’ll be showing you where the best beginner guides are located for your reference.īefore we get into any of these perspectives, there’s a few terms that you have to know! There are numerous books and guides online that are dedicated JUST to perspective drawing so this is not a stand-alone guide by any means at all. Perspectives can be difficulty to grasp when first starting and may require a lot of practice. Especially in scenic drawings, your drawings will appear to have more depth and be less flat with the use of linear perspectives.
Linear perspective (or geometric) can give your drawing a more realistic appeal by creating the illusion that you are actually looking at the subject. This week will be an exploration into the different types of perspectives. Week 3: One-Point, Two-Point, Three-Point (Bird’s POV and Worm’s POV), Four-Point, Five-Point (Fish Eye), Elliptical Perspective, and Foreshortening
