LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
Confused about the eye level and horizon in drawing? In this lesson, we clarify how eye level and horizon are the same for you, the viewer—not necessarily for the characters in your artwork. Learn how to depict scenes when you're looking up or looking down at your subject, and how this affects planes, cross contours, and perspective lines. Understand how your point of view determines the horizon line, and how to accurately represent it to improve the realism in your drawings.

Let's take a look into how eye level and horizon are the same for you, the viewer—not necessarily for the characters in your artwork.
So how exactly do you know how far or low the horizon line is from your subject? For example... this image? I think it's around the belt buckle but... I have no idea if that is right or not. All I know is that we're looking up at our figures so the horizon line is probably lower in the panel....yes? Maybe?
I don't think the desk and batman are in the same perspective! I believe the horizon is slightly below his belt cuz the belt curves upwards a little. If the desk is in the same perspective then the camera(or the viewport) should sit on or probably clips into the desk. But it looks like the desk is lower than that. Maybe it's a creative decision by the artist.

Yes! The horizon line is lower on the panel because we are looking up at the figures. Good intuition 👍
Can we 3D print Marshall and put these lessons into audio player and put it inside him? It will be a great sleep companion and if we get frustated by him we can just shoot laser eye to end him.
"Looking up? lines go down. Looking down? lines go up" Will forever live in my head after this course
Thanks :)
Great End.
Does that mean the course is over !

That won't stop Marshall
I had an urge to put this entire video into my notes, because it explains this phenomena so well. -But thankfully I can just access this course at all times.
This deal with eye levels and horizon lines is slowly cementing into my brain.
Thank to Cody Shank
