Perspective The Rules of Perspective Christopher W. Tyler Introduction Linear perspective has a history going back at least to Aristarchus, a scene painter for Aeschylus in the 4th century BC who astonished his audience, including Plato, with his realistic depiction of depth by size reduction in the spatial layout of buildings. This Greek expertise was transmitted to the Roman Empire in the accurate central vanishing points in evidence in the wall-paintings of Pompeii, for example. The following is an attempt to distill the rules of perspective into an elementary form that may be easily applied in practice. The Rules of Perspective The rules are first stated in their most direct form, then elaborated. Implications of the Rules of Perspective 0. 1. 1A. 1B. 2. 2A. 2B. 3. 3A. 4. 4A. 4B. 5. 5A. 5B. 5C. 6. 6A. 6B. 6C. 7. 7A. 7B. 8. 8A. 8B. 8C.

yes hello this is choo you just think about the life you’ll have together after the war some excerpts from my 1001 knights piece Online Fine Art Instruction in Drawing, Painting, Pastel, Charcoal, and Lessons in Color Theory, Space and Composition What I Believe/Don't Believe About Art: - "Talent" is basically a myth. I believe that sensitivity, inspiration, hard work and conviction are much more important in producing quality work. - Neatness and speed do not count in art. - Being original really means being/becoming yourself. - There is no limit to what can be learned - it is a life-long process. - There are as many viewpoints in art as there are human beings. - There is no one, right way to make art. - There are rules in art to be followed - however, for every rule I've ever heard, I've seen a great work of art that is the exception. - The entire universe is potential subject matter for art. Practical Tips: Relax: inspiring music, comfortable clothes and chair. Wear clothes that you're not afraid of getting dirty. Look at other art - galleries, museums, books, art centers. Carry a sketchbook everywhere, for at least 1 year. Welcome to my online studio! I've been an artist for many years, and I feel that art is a vital part of our lives. etc.

TL;DR The second bit of advice a beginning artist usually gets is “draw from life”. And it is excellent advice! After all, if you can't draw what is right in front of you, you certainly won't be able to draw what you see in your imagination either. Materials? Figure 1.1. So... a ream of the cheapest copier paper you can find, or in a pinch, the inside of a pizza box. The most important thing to keep in mind is to start with the largest shapes, and gradually work down to the small details. The best way to explain this is by example. The first step is to block in the large shapes. Figure 1.3. Now pause and check if everything is still correct. The proportions are okay: the line through the eyes is supposed to be a bit below halfway (say, at 5/8ths) the lines of the ear tips and the chin. Figure 1.4. Eyeballing diagonal lines through your figure is called “caliper vision” by [Ryd]. The line through the eyes doesn't have quite the right angle though. Figure 1.5. Figure 1.6. Figure 1.7. Sternum
