Sometimes, you can get stuck drawing things at eye level, which makes it easier to miss out on crucial details in the story. If you’re looking to add a bit of drama and action to your scene, try a high-angle POV! High-angle POVs are a popular storytelling technique used in manga and anime, and they can effectively convey a sense of thrill to the viewer or bring a key detail to their attention that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. It can also give you a better sense of what’s happening, and the added context can make you go, “Oh, so that’s what so-and-so was looking at!” and offer you a fresh perspective.

Drawings Themed Around High-Angle POVs - A Fresh Perspective

Tue, 10 Oct 2023 18:00:00 +0900

High-angle POVs are a great way to tell a story, which is why they are a popular technique in movies and shows. Depending on the effect you’re going for, they can be as low as just above eye level or as high as directly above the subject. When used to show the landscape or a fight sequence, it can provide an almost omniscient point of view and add context to the scene, but when used to draw characters, it can make them seem small and vulnerable.

High angles also effectively convey a sense of thrill—it can be rather exhilarating to imagine yourself in a character’s shoes when standing on the edge of a cliff or sitting in a swing above the clouds!

Take a look at this series of illustrations featuring various high-angle POVs. Even the most mundane scene can look different when seen from an unusual vantage point!

Practice Drawing with High and Low Angles!

Mon, 01 Aug 2016 18:00:00 +0900

I'd like to try drawing character illustrations with high or low angles, but the balance of the composition becomes all weird... I don't seem to quite understand perspective and overlapping... Do you have any of these problems too? With a high angle, the character in the picture is seen from above, while with a low angle, the character is seen from below. However, it can be tricky to draw depth and balance with difficult angles. When drawn from a low angle, how should a character's chin, hair or clothes be represented? How should the background be distorted? These points have to be grasped if you want to draw these kind of pictures. It becomes easy to draw these diffuclt compositions once you've learned how to roughly position the point of view and overlapping that represent perspective, three-dimensionality and depth. Today, we're introducing tutorials on how to draw from these high and low angles.
