Same with my previous blog posts this one will be about art maybe the one after the next will be about music who knows. Now this lesson is going to be about perspective and the horizon line. Which Andrew Loomis also covers in his book pretty well. Using the simple rules of the horizon line and the line of symmetry or rather the verticial horizon.
You can make a perspective just like as in the image below.
This is an example or a tutorial on how to make an horizon line and making something proportional to that said horizon line. Now this can get very very confusing with adding new people or wanting to change said direction or maybe you even want to them to be closer / take up more of the piece. It gets a little more complicated with the horizon line but the foundation of it still stays put.
This explains it pretty well. and if your asking “well what if I wanted at even more complex angels or maybe I have but it doesn’t look correct”. He explains it pretty well in the “John and Mary problems” which I will send a picture at the end of this. But that’s the basics of perspective at least with characters eventually I will go in-depth with 2 point perceptive, 1 and etc.
It also has at the bottom of the page mistakes that people usually make and get their art looked at weird or are confused how it works. I couldn’t find the old image that showed exactly why it’s important but a good comparision would be like.
