250 box - Rough perspective

1:04 AM, Wednesday September 2nd 2020

I'd like to know if there's a problem doing some boxes in a style similar to the rough perspective exercise, only without drawing the horizon line, having only one dot to represent the viewpoint.

I plan to also try using 2 viewpoints later, similar to the plotted perspective, such that I can focus on getting 1 and then 2 convergences right, before going more freeform.

This is one page that I did like this. (ignore the two different 34's)

Nothing wrong with doing 1 and 2 point perspective for the box challenge but the majority of your 250 boxes should be in 3 point perspective. This is because it gives you more practice getting your lines converging and will transfer to 1 and 2pp anyway.

I see, thanks. I was planning on doing something like 20-25 of each at most, so that's still 200 boxes with all 3 points.

I'd recommend to you to do all of them with three vanishing points. Everything you learn with 1 and 2 point perspective boxes point perspective can be learned doing 3 point perspective. And it doesn't work the other way around.

Moreover, the instructions says the boxes must be like in the organic perspective exercise. So only three point perspective.

While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.

The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
