The Y method helps a lot. Starting with the corner closest to the viewer was a lot easier to draw the rest of the box, compared to starting with a far edge first (which I’ve been doing without much thought before this). Now that the closest corner was established, all I had to do was converge the rest of the lines accordingly, keeping in mind that things further away look smaller.
The convergence of each box was determined randomly, so I don’t think they would make sense realistically (one box converging a lot then the box next to it not converging at all), I would guess that things far away in the horizon converge less, and things closer to VPs/the viewer distort more in a realistic 3d space.
I've done it with a liner (except the firsts ones) to take the time and think about my lines before drawing them. Will use this method for other things it really forced me to see the thing and not putting many search lines
Some 3-point perspective warm-up boxes and an attempt at a 3-point perspective Minecraft chap, which ended up being far too small because I didn't account for the Y-axis distortion of his legs (I could have started with a much bigger torso). A fun exercise though.
Some of my warm-ups. Having a lot of fun drawing the same box with different angles
I have been practicing drawing boxes in 3-point perspective off and on for a while now. I seem to have improved looking at the ones I did here.
I am not confident in my choices for angles of axes and final shapes of the boxes. I tried drawing my tissue box with cell phone (from my persp. in my seat) and I also tried to draw a box kite (which I started with a Y. If you look near the edges of the paper, you can see where I intended each off-page vanishing point. Any feedback you can give to help me improve is greatly appreciated.
I commented this perviously but I still think these look a bit off TT Thoughts and feedback would be very much appriciated ^^
Just finished my practice sketch for three-point perspective. What I've found so far is that each vanishing point seems to correspond to a dimension in the picture plane. In one-point perspective you have a single point representing the z coordinates, whereas in two-point perspective you have two points: one for z and another for x. Three-point seems to work with all three possible coordinates in a 3D environment (x, y, and z).
This basics course has been surprisingly helpful when it comes to understanding the concepts of the visual arts. I've always heard about the different kinds of perspective, but I never fully understood what one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective was or when to use any of them.
What happens when an isometric box enters the world of perspective, surprised boxes staring in a circle!
(It is difficult to arrange boxes in a shared direction...)
