What's "One-Point Perspective"? How To Draw Three-Dimensional Compositions

Tue, 02 May 2017 19:00:00 +0900

Have you ever heard of a technique called "one-point perspective", used to create three-dimensional compositions? One-point perspective (or "single-point perspective") is a method used to draw stereoscopic and realistic backgrounds. It's often used to draw interiors and landscapes. The peculiar thing about one-point perspective is that a single 'vanishing point' (1) is used. By increasing the number of vanishing points, you can create two-point and three-point perspectives.

By drawing landscapes while ignoring the perspective, they will end up looking quite unnatural. Although beginners might find it hard to grasp the idea behind the concept of perspective, the illustrations we are featuring today will help you get a deeper understanding on the matter! Enjoy these tutorials and easy explanations on how to master the one-point perspective technique!

(1) Vanishing point: a spot on the horizon line to which the receding parallel lines diminish. In other words, the point where all lines seem to meet.

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.

When you're drawing characters and backgrounds, sometimes it's hard to just not make up what you think it looks like on the spot. So let's try to draw them with some practical perspective! Perspective is created when you draw lines that help the depth of perception help your picture. It's a great tool for artists everywhere. Perspective has lots of artistic terms relating to it, such as "eye level" or "focus point" or "vanishing point"... Today's Spotlight is all about perspective tutorials!
