Two Point Perspective

Image
Two Point Perspective  Two-point  perspective   is a type of linear perspective.  All categories of linear perspective   include a  horizon line   and a stationary point (the position of the observer).  In two-point  perspective ,   there exist two points from which an object’s lines radiate from; the sides of the object vanish to one of two vanishing points on the horizon  line.  An object’s vertical lines always are at a 90 degree angle to the  horizon  line.  By changing the vanishing points of the object, one can make increase or decrease the size   of the object. Two point perspective is similar to one point which we covered in the previous post. The biggest difference is that we now have two vanishing points. In one point perspective we would see the box from the front. In two point we have turned the box in space and we now see the corner and so the sides of the box will now have two points ...

One Point Perspective

ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE This post will cover the basics of  one point perspective … What is perspective, actually? ”the theory or art of suggesting three dimensions on a two-dimensional surface, in order to  recreate  the appearance and spatial relationships that objects or a scene in recession present to the eye  or  the appearance of objects, buildings, etc.,   relative to each other , as determined by their distance from the viewer, or the effects of this distance on their appearance” One point perspective is the least involved of the types of perspective.  Again, perspective is a technique used to show depth and space on a picture plane.  Linear perspective is the process of using rendering and lines to create the illusion of depth on the picture plane. There are 3 main kinds of perspective… One point perspective Two point perspective and Three point perspective. Horizon Line The horizon is the line that we see where the earth/sea meets the sky....

Paper

Image
Drawing paper is a great way to practice your line work and value.  Notice how abstract some of the shapes can get while still maintaining form.  Make sure to use a light source and be sensitive.   Good luck! Here is a great way to start. Get it all blocked in before adding value. Things to consider: Crisp lines Contrast Interesting shapes Negative space Ground plane Soft and hard transitions For those of you who think this is just for beginners  check these paintings out.

Value Structure

Image
Value Structure Value denotes relationships of light and dark. White is the lightest value-Black in shadow the Darkest Dark. 9 step value scale  How light Works Highlights, the lightest values present on the surface of an illuminated form, occur upon very smooth and or shinny surfaces. They are the intense spots of light that appear on the crest of the surface facing the light source.  Light and Shadow are terms for the broad intermediate values between the more defined areas of a highlight. Core Shadow is the most concentrated darkness, it is where the form dives into the shadow.  This is where the Magic happens! Reflected light is light that is bouncing back from nearby surfaces it helps to clarify portions of a form, manly the core shadow. It is never lighter than thedarkest light. Cast shadows are formed from objects on adjacent planes. Help create Form and Shape Space and Atmosphere Texture Mood Points of Interest or Importance Bartleson Effect Surrounding Values cha...
