RE: Roads in Perspective - Quick Guide.
Thanks for the great lesson. I see that sometimes you need to use a ruler when it comes to realism, I have never done this before when it came to drawings, not drawings. My first art teacher used to hit us on the hands if he saw a ruler in our hands lol. He was a senile person that was hard to argue with, and to be honest, when I saw his art at the exhibition, I thought that this was not something I should strive for and gave up drawing. Only today, I understand that he was too demanding of himself and too free from third-party opinions, he did what his heart prompted and it was cool, but hard for me to understand and perceive at that moment.
When learning perspective, I tell my students that they HAVE to use a ruler, while I draw the examples for them freehand.
More crazy for them is that I ALWAYS draw to their direction.
They are amazed how I draw upside down, so they can see what I am doing.
Learning perspective with rulers is great to get used to how things should look like. Once you master perspective, you can stop using rulers.
For example, when I teach concept art and product design, we NEVER use rulers, vanishing points, reference images, etc.
It is 100% from imagination.
But that is possible because they already learned perspective and realism.
Perspective drawing is the most important drawing fundamental in my opinion, but I do not like to draw in perspective, it is just a part of anything you draw.
For example, to draw the example below correctly, you must know perspective.
It is all about understanding the amount and direction of foreshortening, and always imagine where the horizon line is.
Yes, logic dictates that the shape of the bottom of the glass should be similar to the shape of the edge of the glass, but this is not so.
Indeed. Logic wants us to draw isometric, but because of our optics (the way we see thing), we actually see it in perspective.
Seeing and translating what you see on paper are slightly different things :). It seems to me that I perfectly hear the music that my brain remembers, but when I open my mouth, I cannot reproduce these notes.
I can promise you one thing: you do NOT want to hear me sing :o)
The fact is that for some time now I only listen to the original works of my children who write music, compose and perform songs and rap, and I don’t listen to anyone else, because, my friend, you could not be on the list of my audio recordings, but not because your voice does not meet my criteria :).
That is great. They are artistic. Music is amazing, it is good they are good at it.
Thank you, but this needs to be heard.
