In our third lesson we were looking at perspectives and how they effect the image.
We first looked at 1 point perspective; when theres only 1 vanishing point in the image normally on the horizon line. (A vanishing point is the point in which the objects angle towards and eventually disappear due to the end of range of our eyesight.) I drew the horizon line and picked a vanishing point then I drew a rectangle. from this I drew lines from each point of the rectangle to the vanishing point, joining off the ends of the rectangle, making it 3D. I continued to make more complex shapes like a pyramid, cylinder and letters using this method. For example, to make a pyramid I made a cube and out the centre point of the top face by making an x. From this I connected the angles of the bottom face to the middle point in the top face, making a pyramid.
After this we made a full 1 point perspective drawing, for mine I chose to draw a landscape picture with train tracks, a fence and a tree. I found this quite easy as I've done perspective drawings before however I didn't find the spacing of the fence panels and the tree as easy to draw but I am happy with how this turned out.
The next thing we looked at was 2 point perspective; this is similar to 1 point but it includes 2 vanishing points. Started by drawing a horizon line and placing 2 vanishing points close to each end of the horizon line, however, instead of drawing a square, we drew a straight line in the middle of the page. Once again I drew lines from the ends of the middle line to each vanishing points, drawing the edges from the perspective lines. To finish off the cube, I again drew perspective lines from each corner of the cube to the vanishing points. Finally I connected edges in the back which made the finished 2 point perspective cube. Much like with the 1 point perspective work I used the technique making the cube to make ma pyramid, cylinder and letters. I found this quite easy however I had trouble with my first cylinder as it was warped; this is due to it being out of the cone of vision, however, once I drew another cylinder within the cone of vision it looked much better yet I did draw it to the wrong perspective.
I then went to use 2 point perspective for my drawing of street. I found this easy as it was quite cube-like buildings so next time I would draw something more natural. However, I didn't get time within the lesson t finish my drawing but hope to continue it in my free time.
