New Sketch & Notes on Perspective
🕑 Added 2022-01-05 15:29:39 +0000 UTCHello friends!
It doesn't look like it now, but I'll cover this whole scene in snow later on. And I have something fun planned for the colour palette. Also, one of my new year's resolutions for 2022 is to work on my character designs, especially fashion and SHOES. They're hard to draw, but also carry a lot of personality if you put a bit more effort into them.
Also, while working on this, I took some notes on perspective and maybe you'll find them helpful. One thing about 1 point perspective I wish someone had told me as a beginner:
In reality, things aren't perfectly straight most of the time. Sometimes, there's a bend in the road. This can be a stumbling block when you're trying to draw a scene.
The solution: Add another vanishing point (VP) and treat it separately from the first one. In this example, the houses in the foreground follow one VP, and the houses in the background (after the bend) follow another, because their orientation is slightly different.
That's it! Just make sure both VPs share the same horizon line and you're good to go.
Btw, I'm using the perspective tools in Procreate for this kind of stuff. The assisted drawing is super useful and speeds up the process.
