Week 11: Perspectives
|
This week we were taught about drawing using perspective lines. By using perspective lines we can make more realistic drawings, that represent 3D more than a drawing without them. Our assignment this week is, not very surprisingly, to draw a scene using perspective lines. The scene must contain a car and an airplane, the first on the ground, the second in the air above it. It is to be drawn in 2-point perspective, which means using two vanishing points (points on the horizon line where the perspective lines all converge, making it look like they are fading away). We were also shown how to properly draw an ellipse in a perspective. We draw a short line going towards one of the vanishing points and then another line crossing it at a 90 degree angle. This second line represents the width of the ellipse. Drawing around these two lines will result in an ellipse that leans slightly. That is how a circle would look if seen at an angle. Anyway, that’s all for now. Will write more next time.  |
