Week 2 - Perspective


This week we were learning about perspective; including from a single point view (left image) and two-point view (right). Learning how to begin with the horizon line and use vanishing points to help me construct accurate shapes at different sizes was very useful as it gave me a clearer understanding of 3D and depth/how we perceive objects at varying distances, as well as how things should look. Deliberately drawing foreshortening is one of the primary ways to show depth because our eyes naturally do this so it looks natural and right. Using these construction lines, horixon lines and vanishing points help to make these scenes look right and increase drawing competency and believability in other areas.
