Art Log #05
Added 2018-11-29 22:27:15 +0000 UTCThe Ultimate Drawing Course has started with the interesting stuff. The illusion of space and perspective with two or more focal points.
Perspective for me has always been a controversial matter of study.
A piece of cake when working with geometrical solids or buildings, in representations not meant to be scenes but just homework for the technical drawing teacher (I went to a conventional, not-art school.)
And a raw artichoke to peel without a knife when working on an artistic scene. Where to put vanishing points and horizon to have a dramatic effect? How lengths are foreshortened?
You can see it even there. The teacher mistook the proportion between the house and the skyscraper.
There isn't a rule of thumb for composing an environment on perspective.
Just a lot of common sense.
And maybe the idea of working on a photo reference.
Uh, and I guess that I drew that tentacle fairy back in the years of college.
A very old notebook.
