Especially the 3-point perspective, are there any rules if how far is the 3rd vanishing point or must they always be in equal length like triangle?

Mr.Hoothoot it depends on the scale you're making the things. The vanishing points should be close if the subject is in front of it and farther apart if they're looking at a landscape.

I have always STRUGGLED with finding a horizon line. I was told, make a horizon line, find the perspective points , now you get perspective, the line goes where your vision is. . But If i wanted to draw a room, with different floors, and people, where would the horizon line be? I have never once, In my 30 years of life been told the line is the height you want to see the room from, I was told its from your eye leve, so im looking at the page like OK my eye level is here i guess?l , its basically the same explanation, but the minor TINY change in what eye-level means was a incredible game changer just now. one of those OOOH moments where ive been told this a million times and felt like Im just unable to see what everyone else sees so clearly.

so basically 1 and 2 pt perspective are bastardizations of nature, and 3pt perspective is how stuff actually looks cuz even my window blinds, which look parallel, would converge like railroad tracks if they were long enough did i say bastardizations? i meant "shortcuts" thats a little friendlier, yeah? thank you for the video cuz i suck at drawing 🧡 your explanation of why there is only 1 VP is actually the most helpful out of all the ten or so videos i've watched on this
@Swatches4 жыл бұрын
Anita, you are correct, everything really is 3 or 4 point perspective. We use 1 and 2 point perspective as visual "shortcuts" when the 3rd and 4th point's affect is negligible. It also helps the beginner learn the principle when you can start with just 1pt perspective.

Good video! I do have a question about the first image you used. the castle in the background behind the pool is physically sitting at a different angle in relation to the pool. it's actually in 2 point perspective. how would I go about reconciling those two perspectives when sketching that out? I hope that question made sense. Thanks.
@Swatches8 жыл бұрын
Objects at different angles use different vanishing points (VP), only parallel angles use the same VP. Every plane on the castle would use its own VP, not that of the pool's. You could very well end up with a lot of different VPs, one for each different plane angle. In this case, the only relationship between the castle and the pool is that all the VPs would sit on the same horizon line we established from the pool and trees.

Oh. Oh my god. The trick with the repeating perspective. I have never ever known that and it blew my mind, holy mess. My question about that would be how to apply that to stairs that change angle and making it look correct? I've always had to guess or use photo references, but if I want to put an angle of stairs or crazy type of staircase into a comic or something sequential where I need to have that staircase at different angles in different panels-- and I can't FIND the refs I need for it-- how could I manipulate that trick to work for that? Or would it come down to less of a trick and more of a matter of having to find the vanishing point for each and every step as the angle shifts?

@partingmist85504 жыл бұрын
kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2fXlXprhtR1gbc that is a video where he deals with the middle space. so he went from pole through pole. if you want space in between its like this. when he placed the x inbetween the poles it found the center in perspective , draw a vertical line through that center. now instead of going from top of pole through center of other pole, go from the top of the centerline you just drew through the center of the pole. where you touch the ground is the center of the space between. now you have the center of the space.

hey clint in the picture at 06:04 min how would you draw the towers (or castle) in the background would you just add more vanishing points?
@Swatches6 жыл бұрын
Sorry about the delayed response, but yes, that is correct. All parallel angles can use the same vanishing point (ie. the two sides of the pool) but as the castle and the pool aren't aligned it would need its own vanishing points. You'd place one on the right and one on the left. The one on the right side would be reasonably close since the angles on the right sides are more acute and the left side VP would be far away as you're seeing that side almost flat-on. Even though you're looking up at it I wouldn't even bother with a vertical VP as there is so little vertical distortion (that happens the farther away you are from the subject and the more telephoto your lens is).
