RE: Roads in Perspective - Quick Guide.
When learning perspective, I tell my students that they HAVE to use a ruler, while I draw the examples for them freehand.
More crazy for them is that I ALWAYS draw to their direction.
They are amazed how I draw upside down, so they can see what I am doing.
Learning perspective with rulers is great to get used to how things should look like. Once you master perspective, you can stop using rulers.
For example, when I teach concept art and product design, we NEVER use rulers, vanishing points, reference images, etc.
It is 100% from imagination.
But that is possible because they already learned perspective and realism.
Perspective drawing is the most important drawing fundamental in my opinion, but I do not like to draw in perspective, it is just a part of anything you draw.
For example, to draw the example below correctly, you must know perspective.
It is all about understanding the amount and direction of foreshortening, and always imagine where the horizon line is.
Yes, logic dictates that the shape of the bottom of the glass should be similar to the shape of the edge of the glass, but this is not so.
Indeed. Logic wants us to draw isometric, but because of our optics (the way we see thing), we actually see it in perspective.
Seeing and translating what you see on paper are slightly different things :). It seems to me that I perfectly hear the music that my brain remembers, but when I open my mouth, I cannot reproduce these notes.
I can promise you one thing: you do NOT want to hear me sing :o)
The fact is that for some time now I only listen to the original works of my children who write music, compose and perform songs and rap, and I don’t listen to anyone else, because, my friend, you could not be on the list of my audio recordings, but not because your voice does not meet my criteria :).
That is great. They are artistic. Music is amazing, it is good they are good at it.
Thank you, but this needs to be heard.
