Hi fellow box designers, I have a point-blank question for you.
During my 250 boxes challenge I ended up in a situation several times that I'm not sure is possible:
2 lateral vanishing points downwards and the 3' always downwards in the same direction. To help you understand I have attached a drawing -> https://imgur.com/a/RboGZsj
Is this situation possible? Or conceptually wrong?
It isn't possible for a normal box. You're getting this in this case because the form you have is more of a trapazoidal shape, making it seem like there's a vanishing point on the bottom. If this were a box and all the lines converged properly that vertical vanishing point would be on top.
exactly!
Its not a cube.
In this case, there is no 90 degree relation between the lines on corners.
The box you drew is much larger on top than in bottom in a way that even if it's moving up away from the picture plane it's still visually bigger than the bottom.
I think It is possible, every line goes to its own vanishing point, so conceptually I guess it is right, though I'm not an expert, but if i put a boc on a glass table and you look from under the table It could be possible to be accurate this box
Ok, I thought about it again... and I think it's conceptually wrong..
If the 2 lateral vanishing points go downwards it means that I am looking at the box from the bottom upwards, because my horizon line (my eyes) are under the box. So if I look up, the 3rd vanishing point can't point towards the horizon but away from it.
As before, maybe I'll explain better with a drawing -> https://imgur.com/a/gpKtTlc
did I get it right?
Wow that was getting into eating my brain, but i suppouse that you're right, I had done many isometric and 3D draws for my carreer but I have never seen one like the left one and thinking about it you're right, but I feel I had seen that in a draw before, felt like a building falling over you, so I don't really know, but if I had to choose I think that yes, the left one is conceptually wrong...
That moved my ground, I'm going to ask a around, if I have news I'll comment in here
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
