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.

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.

The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
