Basic Perspective Final Assignment

[blackhound rise]

decided why wait until next week. wont get it right 1st time or second but if i can get feedback to see how on track or far off track i am then i am gaining something valuable.

last night i drafted about 4 or 5 angles to work with and sort of settled on one. so my 1st draft take 1 and the angle drafts now attached. I inked over the rough sketch of the bed and side table/drawer to bring it up from the faint pencil orthogonal lines and sketches. i am terrible with my drawing pad so I did this on paper. maybe when i get better at drawing i will get myself a display tablet and work on digital art.

what i noticed as I inked the main subjects - they seemed to be much flatter in some areas and some areas looked ok and sort of felt in perspective-ish... will try and upload again another take tomorrow night... your feedback as usual is much appreciated and thank you for taking the time to share.

@blackhound-rise the one you inked up looks pretty good! The other small sketches have one issue that I think is that’s causing the “flatness” you mentioned. The top of the headboard is not following the perspective lines. The top of it is above the horizon, so it should be following the perspective lines that are above it, the ones that are angled downward from left to right. It’s currently angled upward from left to right. You seem to have fixed this in your inked version, so you may have already noticed that.

@StudioHannah Thank you Hannah.

part 2. tried to do a low angle view from near outer side of the toy chest toward bed, clock above bed and the hall way door/ bedroom door. does the top edge of the Toy chest have to angled toward left Horizon orthogonal or was i right to keep 90 degrees flush above the HL because my point of view is close to the chest? i think i should have made the bedroom door a bit taller. this angle sort of catches the ceiling and room corner near the door. i could not rack my brain to get the angle for room corner in perspective or looking right. feedback again much appreciated. thanks guys.

@blackhound-rise these actually look pretty good! Your vanishing points are pretty close to your drawing, so you may be getting some distortion, but it otherwise looks pretty accurate, aside from the headboard that @StudioHannah pointed out. Also, I'm not sure what kind of a tablet you have, but a few months ago I got a paper texture screen protector for my iPad, and drawing on it came much easier after that! It might be worth looking into. Perspective is a lot easier when you work digitally because of the ability to zoom way out or in.

@kirsten-mcg Thank you Kirsten. i have an XP Pen Decco tablet. it is not a display tablet. for now i will be drawing on paper but i will practice drawing on my tablet using my adobe photoshop on the desktop.

@blackhound-rise That's understandable why you struggle with it then! Tablets that don't display the image are hard to get used to. I had a teacher in collage who was a master at it though! So it's definitely possible.

Globally the perspective is correct but there are details that are off which can make it look less convincing and make the objects look less solid.

I made a few notes of the little details that I noticed:

In terms of the pillows and the edges of the bed, it is not so much a problem of perspective but more about communicating volumes to the viewer.

For the clock, when drawing a circle in perspective, the results is an ellipse of which the minor axis (in 2D) is aligned with the circle's axis (in 3D).

Hope this is helpful
