![]() ![]() To be fair, that might be down to me, rather than the videos. There are some mathematical videos on projective geometry, but I couldn’t find the answers to my questions there. They are teaching people how to draw, not explaining to people in physics why it works.Īnd I couldn’t find much on that at all. This one and this one came high up on an internet search, and for good reason I think – I really like them. There are loads of really good tutorials on how to draw in perspective. I looked it up, and found that few people had added much to the internet about this. The ‘meta-theme’ is phenomena that are special cases, or approximations, of more general phenomena, and how we tend to learn in the direction from special case to general law. ![]() ![]() The context is art, but the subject is the nature of 3D space. Now, there’s a risk that the people who normally read this blog, wanting science content, might think this is about art, and give up at this point. (I know, I know – there are other kinds, but I didn’t know that then. So I explained about one-point and two point perspective, and then realised that I couldn’t articulate how to choose between them, and why there weren’t other kinds. That was a mistake, because I am the living refutation of the encouragement “Everyone can draw.” Still, I guess the idea was that I know some physics and so must understand how 3D geometry works.

So that’s basically all the elements of a perspective drawing. We will talk more about vanishing points in future lessons. Vanishing points are a huge component of perspective drawing because they help artist to determine how to draw all the straight lines in the drawing. Therefore, in a perspective drawing, as things recede away from the observer, they get smaller and smaller until they appear to disappear (or vanish) into a vanishing point. Vanishing points are created because of the fact that as things move further away from our eyes, they appear smaller. It takes in all the 3D images in the scene and transform it into a 2D drawing. The picture plane can be though of as your drawing paper itself. Therefore, it is much better to remember that the horizon line is always the same as the eye level of the observer. This is a true and useful definition for outdoor landscape drawings where that line is clearly visible.īut it is not a useful definition for scenes indoor where the sky and the ground are covered up. Some artist like the define the horizon line as the line where the sky meets the ground. The eye level is also one and the same as the horizon line in a perspective drawing. If the observer’s eyes are 6 feet off the ground, then the eye level will be at 6 feet. The eye level is quite simply the height of the observer’s eyes from the ground. The cone of vision is important because it determines what is going to be in our perspective drawing. The cone of vision is defined as the scope of what the observer can see clearly when looking into a scene. The observer is like the main character and we are essentially see the scene through his/her eyes. For a more detail explanation, please refer to the video above.) The ObserverĮvery perspective drawing or picture is seen from the point of view of the observer. (Note: Below are a brief summary of the definitions of all the perspective elements. So here are all the elements of a perspective drawing that you need to know about: So in today’s lesson, we are going to break down all the basic component of a perspective drawing so you can have a really comprehensive view of the whole picture and really know how everything fits together.
