In this step-by-step lesson we are going to create a simple "2 Point Perspective" view drawing of our test subject example, working from both plan (overhead) and elevation view (side view or profile) reference Fig 1. The first line to draw will be the horizontal Picture Plane line shown in Fig. 2. We will place the lower right corner of our Plan View diagram on the horizontal Picture Plane line and rotate it clockwise Fig. 3 while keeping it in contact with the picture plane. The ultimate angle chosen, and the wide-angle or narrow (telephoto) angle of view should balance factors such as the best aesthetics for the subject matter being illustrated, and the necessary technical information (highlighted features) to be conveyed. Draw lines for the Horizon and Ground Line Fig. 5. Back to: Illustration Tutorials

ANG: American Needlepoint Guild - Perspective By Debbie Stiehler Originally published in Needle Pointers, Oct/Nov 1995 From the editor: Debbie Stiehler of Reading, Pennsylvania is a needlework teacher and designer who is currently enrolled in Level II of the NAN Teacher Certification Program. She has taught local and regional seminars since 1989 and is a member of ANG, EGA, NAN, and NETA. Perspective is defined as “the art of picturing objects on a flat surface so as to give the appearance of distance or depth.” According to World Book Encyclopedia there are two types of perspective: aerial and linear. Click images to enlarge Now that we know about linear perspective, let’s talk about how we would divide an area so as to give it depth or distance. Mark your horizon line on your paper and choose your vanishing point for the fence. Let’s make eight fence posts. Now we draw a diagonal line from corner to corner. What if we wanted to make a marble checkered floor viewed at an angle (2-point perspective)? Cole, Alison.

DRAWING ELLIPSES at MIKE SIBLEY FINE ART I am a self-confessed Beardie lover! Only the winter mud that surrounds us prevents me from being owned by one. They exude happiness, gaiety, and joy; and my spirits soar whenever I'm near one. This drawing means a lot to me. The farmer (my former neighbour) and I spent a few glorious haymaking times together. Included are George's old tractor and baler, his fields and the Hambleton Hills behind — so you have a picture of the field behind our house and the hills beyond. Accompanying this Premier print were two smaller Companion prints, which came into being because I had so much good material left. Why Done Balin'?

Leonardo's Perspective During the Renaissance, European artists began to study the model of nature more closely and to paint with the goal of greater realism. They learned to create lifelike people and animals, and they became skilled at creating the illusion of depth and distance on flat walls and canvases by using the techniques of linear perspective. Background: Painting in the Middle Ages. Leonardo da Vinci trained as a painter during the Renaissance and became a true master of the craft.

Perspective Drawing 7 - Three Point Perspective Before you study the perspective of a cylinder, it helps if you understand the perspective of a circle which is explained on the previous page. A cylinder is simply a circle which is projected into three dimensions. Fig. 1. This is an illustration of a cylinder which is formed by a circle being projected vertically from the ground plane. The ellipses that outline the cylinder are all the same width. Note how the ellipse at the eye level is seen as a straight line. Fig .2. The circular curves that form the cylinder are all the same shape, but their scale reduces as they recede from the picture plane towards the vanishing point. Both of our examples use one point perspective, the simplest form of perspective drawing.

Learn to Draw - Graphite Pencil Drawing Tutorial. Work In Progress - Step-by-Step Title: "Inner Beauty" Size: 18" x 14" Medium: Charcoal, Graphite, Carbon on White Paper Step One: If you are unfamiliar with the use of frisket film, here's a video that will explain it for you: Step Two: Next, I blended the charcoal with a piece of felt and added the beginnings of wood grain. I repeated this several times to build up a solid tone. Step Three: Then, I sprayed the drawing with fixative, Peeled off the frisket and began rendering the subjects. The tape on the right shows what it looking like after I removed the real masking tape. Step Four: I have started adding the holes and lines of the notebook paper. I used charcoal for the holes to match the background. The lines on the paper were produced with a .3 mechanical pencil to keep them as sharp and clean as possible. Close-up Step Five: Here’s the final. I’ve included some close-ups to give you a little better Idea of the detail. Learn How to Draw!
