How to Curve an Arrow

What's in Premium?

In the premium lesson, we tackle the technical challenges of drawing an arrow that appears to taper but actually maintains a constant width. You'll learn how curves interact with perspective and how to use X lines to track width accurately.

We demonstrate how to project the arrow onto the ground plane to create an orthographic view, helping you understand its true structure without perspective distortion. We also explore how introducing tapering adds complexity and how to solve for both tapering and curves by projecting points and constructing compound curves.

Finally, we discuss the balance between technical accuracy and artistic expression, highlighting when to prioritize creative choices over strict precision.
