lnmei:✏️ For the sake of documentation, here is my process for this drawing. I hope it’s helpful and interesting to someone, thanks for looking! Be warned this write up is quite detailed, it’s a pretty long post! Keep reading @solitarygrape: i do have a question if you have time/inclination to answer- how do the 1 point and 2 point perspective grids work together/why do you need both? thank you so much for writing this all up! The simple explanation is that I cheated 5-point perspective using 3 points instead:detailed explanation under cut. I’m not a perspective expert nor do I care about being accurate as long as the drawing looks fine. I love cheating drawings In 5 point perspective, there is:a vanishing point where your line of sight intersects the horizon line (the 1 pt vanishing point)2 vanishing points on the horizon line equidistant from the 1st vanishing point (the 2 pt vanishing points; mine aren’t equidistant bc I messed up lmao)2 vanishing points on the line of sight equidistant from the 1st vanishing point, which I excluded in my drawing just bc I didn’t feel like it and was going to cheat these using warp transformAll lines parallel to the picture plane in 5-pt converge to all 4 of the non-centered vanishing points and are curved (the 5-pt grid is like a sphere with longitude and latitude + a 1 pt perspective grid with vanishing point centered), so in my model I approximate this by converging lines to the left of the line of sight to left and central vanishing point, same with right side but to the right and central vanishing point, and for things in line of sight they converge to the central vanishing point.As my diagram says, I have straight horizontals for lines that are both parallel to the picture plane and intersect with the line of sight (I say this loosely; more accurately, these objects should appear as if they are coming directly towards the viewer).Straight verticals are lines that in an actual 5-pt would converge to the vanishing points on the line of sight. I planned my drawing out so that I could warp it at the end to cheat a 5-pt perspective look. -- source link
