Simple Perspective

I was watching people point and curse at each other in perspective, so i tried it, i think it came out ok, some problems here and there.... and hopefully not a whole lot



this was done before the entry for the drawoff with b

interesting....i dont really know whats in the background, or what weapon he's holding...but hey! cool stuff. where's you come up with the concept of the robed masked man?

i wish i could do perspective too ^^

-flames'

Does he only have one wing? (Assuming that is a wing, of course . . .)

are you referring to the large shield type thing behind him, or the mini buster sword behind his back?

yes, yes it is, a queer one but who cares
and what hes holdin is a poleaxe, its like an axe and spear merged together and was used by who-knows-who a long time ago

probably the greeks or romans. they used those types of things. but speaking of the sketch, whats the object in the background?

*cough* 1000 posts *cough*

congrats on your 1k1 post

behind the poleaxe is his wing... then its the wrinkled paper you see before you

well thats a funky-ass wing.

thanks.

and uh.....just out of curiosity.

how much does a scanner cost? in the general area...

thx, the paper wrinkle was actually an effect called "i forgot it in my schoolbag and when i took it out it was all "ehhh....."" effect... yes, i found this in the corner of my schoolbag and tried to unwrinkle it
(yes tis a mask)

and scanners cost anywhere from a crappy 80 bucks to a whopping 200+ (not really whopping but who cares), DONT get one that helps you send files over the internet, it usually costs more and is less in quality... most of them (we all know how to do that right?)

Had a xerox printer a while ago, and despite thinking that the name should reflect the qulaity, the thing was rubbish. Got an Epson printer, and it wasn't all that great either, though marginally better. Then I got a Canon printer, and it was of great value. I trust the name now, and bought a scanner of the same name half a year ago for 100 CDN, and it still works like a charm. No need to get too expensive here. If you're thinking to use your scanner only for the purpose of putting things on the web, it truly does not need to be expensive at all.

The poleaxe was most commonly used in medieval times. Romans usually used the gladius (sword), and I don't really know what the greeks used. But I know for sure in pre-medieval and up to the renaissance the poleaxe was a favorite weapon.

Good foreshortening on the arm there. Organic forms are probably the hardest thing to do in proper perspective. If you want to do some classic perspective studies, do some two and three-point perspective studies with buildings. Those are always fun. If it's on a small piece of paper, you're things will look strange if the vanishing points are too close, so you might want to try it on larger paper.

Good luck.

buildings are far too easy, will simple ones that ARENT just blocks, i added balconies and crap like that... too easy

what bogs me down are TREES, how the hell do you draw THOSE in perspective?

A tree is a cone...

or a spherical structure...

The thing is that you need to angle the internal elliptical sections to the vanishing point.

Or go out a look at trees... which happens to be one of the most relaxing ways to learn... and it's fall... lots of reds and oranges... like the palette of a sunset...

Are you sure about that? They can be as easy or difficult as you make them.

You get the idea. Be creative. Try doing interior spaces if you find exteriors to be too easy. Learning to draw ellipsoids in perspective can be pretty daunting sometimes, and it's not that bad an idea to nail the basics on the head first.
