Need help with the perspective

Hi all, I envision 3 rectangular recess into the wall and having these 3 statues in it but am worried the perspective might not be accurate

Hey theunraveler, This is a very complex image, so I get why you are wondering about the perspective before you go too far. I checked your perspective and its correct. The thing is, it's kind of boring and flat. I did a sketch to show you some of the things I would do to add more dimension and interest. Your perspective is telling us that we are looking up at the statures in the cove, so I would push the feeling by making the pillars get smaller as they are moving up and away from us. I don't know if you are using reference for this, but this is what I would do. I also made a few other notes that I hope you find helpful :)

It is hard to eyeball it, so either you carefully construct the vanishing point for each recess, or you model this in a 3d program like blender.

Thanks, I am avoiding Blender for now....I want to do this as a pure 2d work to practice perspective. As long as it looks somewhat believable I guess its ok

I been drawing a long time. I looked at your drawing. I can see a vanishing point in the center of the alter. these lines are correct. One point perspective view. I can see the perspective lines. Its a great start keep practicing. if you have an ipad and have procreate,the app has a built in perspective section. I also like another apple app called trace pholio Morpholio trace. The app is used by artists and architects. What I like about the app is you can take a picture of what you would like to draw and it will show you the exact perspective. I also recommend drawing a lot when you can and become familiar in seeing the perspective lines. also look around and notice vanishing points in life and your surrounding environment. ArtistJay
