Can
HEY GUYS.
HERE AND I'VE GOT ANOTHER how to draw.
Perspective unit for you.
This one's a bit of a bonus with some digital stuff right.
I know not everybody is working with Photoshop or Eclipse studio painter or digitally at all right.
I tried to design the whole unit so that no matter what platform you're using whether it's a platform
that's an old drafting table your kitchen table or a giant tablet right in front of you that the unit
itself can be helpful to you.
I mean the whole course itself can be like you know 90 percent of it can be applicable to what you want
to do.
This one here though this particular unit is going to be more along the lines of helping people just
with a few couple digital tricks and stuff like that.
Nothing major nothing groundbreaking breaking in my opinion.
Clip studio paint has got the groundbreaking stuff for for the rulers and everything.
But this one.
Yeah.
This is just a couple of tricks I want to show you.
So I've got a full screen here what I'm gonna come over here and do is grab a straight line a straight
edge.
OK.
Have it a good size here.
Drag it long and this is gonna be my horizon line and I'm gonna make just a little note in the center.
OK.
Now what I'm gonna do here is start to draw through this center.
K so I'm gonna grab from one side to the other.
Just start drawing lines and I make sure that they go through the center.
Now each program has a slightly better slash easier way to go about this.
There's a few that give a nice little starburst type of thing right.
Okay.
There's some that you can do like kind of a measured starburst I guess.
Right.
That's cool.
I don't want this to be program specific so I'm kind of just doing it in a in a general way here just
dragging from one corner through then through the next going all through this one vanishing point.
So if this was one point perspective we can see how a grid like this might set us up.
Well right.
You know this might make things a little bit easier if if we were plotting things out if we're sketching
things from the beginning right.
You can have these big spaces between them and get a little bit tighter if you want start to get a little
bit more.
You know even tighter on the on the difference between the lines and stuff.
You know it's kind of up to you how how defined you want this and like I said you can believe it's photoshop.
I haven't used photoshop in a few years here a couple of generations ago but not my generation's programs
generations.
Yeah.
Anyways there's a few different ways to do this but this is one way you can do it is you can rough in
something like this right.
Okay.
And then just kind of faded into the background and use this as your sketch and it's all good right.
Another thing that you can do especially if you going to do something like a two point perspective is
grab something like this duplicate the layer and then move one off to one side
right and move the other one off to the other side.
And then you've kind of got the basis of starting from these two point perspectives.
Right.
Okay.
That you can come in here then and start using this as your sketch pieces.
You know you can come in draw you know it's coming this way it's coming this way.
Right.
You know what's going to come off this way come this way.
And you can start to use this as your your basis for for drawing a sketch for two point and obviously
you could bump it up and do three points if you really want.
Right.
So this is a little trick that you can do for using kind of a burst perspective grid.
Right.
Like I said some programs have this way to burst it and you can choose how many lines or multiples you
want.
Right.
Or you can do it by hand and drag them all out or whatever.
It's kind up to you which program you're using Photoshop is good for those kind of layer actions and
stuff like that procreate maybe not as much as many bang some of the free ones don't have a lot of ruler
options clip studio paint pretty much has the best for prospective rulers but I'm gonna get into that
an entire another unit here.
Something else that I wanted to get into here is you know I've laid down these lines and I've kind of
sketched out something for you.
Here right is a little box right now we've got this little box but I want to do some things to it.
Remember before we were talking about circles and stuff.
Right.
And we were talking about how to drag it into perspective.
Right.
OK.
Well I've got this box here.
And on another layer I'm just going to draw a little circle here.
Now what do I do.
I've got this circle.
But if I move this circle directly into the box.
No.
Even if I was to like make it so that it kind of fit it wouldn't fit in perspective.
Right.
So instead what I can do is do a dropdown transform and I could either do a mesh transformation or free
transformation.
There's a few different options that you can use in different programs.
Some of them actually have what's called a perspective transformation but in that clip studios the equivalent
would be this free transformation.
And so what I can do is grab each corner drag it in
and you can see how it fits in perspective.
I've dragged it out right.
Does that make sense.
So that's one way to do it.
Let's see another thing.
If I wanted to remember when we were talking about doing ellipses and stuff like that or like in the
curvature.
Well I guess I could come here and make sure that this this ruler is you know this angle is going according
to how I wanted to go right.
Maybe move this up just a little bit and I can even move this down as long as I'm gonna keep it in perspective
when I do this.
Bring it to here bring this one up a little bit.
I think you can see what I'm gonna do here is I can you know come in here
and I'm maybe going to adjust it again a little bit but now I can cut away you know I could have this
part here.
And why don't I just figure this out just a little bit better.
So keep it I'm keeping it with a perspective right.
But then what I might do for example depending on how what I wanted to do with this box I might come
in here use this curve and I would fix what's going on over here and stuff I get used this curve is
as a correct curve for what's going on.
And then you obviously come out here and this one would be fixed actually.
I would bring it across to here.
There we go.
So that's that's one way to do that kind of quarter ellipse in in perspective here.
Right.
Another thing that you can do is if we're gonna draw a circle within here remember we can find our our
dimensions and do all these cross sectioning and stuff I guess.
But it's not easy right.
It takes a little bit time.
So instead I'm just gonna go really easy here and drag this to the corners
and cut and just double check and make sure that it's kind of lined up reasonably correct.
Not bad right.
Yeah it looks OK.
Okay.
So now I've got this circle that's nice and in perspective right.
It's fitting exactly within.
But what if I want to add like a room inside you know a little bit of depth what I can do is duplicate
this layer and move it in right.
And not only that but I can just double check that.
It's following prospective lines and stuff.
That it's it's moving along these same same kind of lines I can use this upper guideline as a marker
and actually.
So what this is going to do is this will get slightly smaller.
If I really wanted to line this up I would find the center and just make sure that my my center marker
here is following the center marker here and it's following along this prospective line.
Okay.
Does that make sense.
I actually know what.
What do we do that just to just to make sure that we're doing it right.
Okay.
What we can do here is find our center.
When I do it on a better layer here
find our center.
Okay.
I'm gonna.
Then I'm gonna back it out and I'm gonna bring it in perspective along with these lines here.
There we go.
So now I know that if I'm gonna do this properly I want to come back and I want to duplicate this circle
that's in the middle here.
And I'm gonna move it back
and just double check.
I can see that it's off center okay that the center line has moved just a little bit.
Okay.
There we go.
I would say okay.
I could come in start to delete and that would be how that RIM might look.
Does that make sense okay.
So there is a little a few tricks to save you some time that you can you know use some straight edges.
Use some circles and ellipses and that kind of stuff and really shave some time off of off your process
even if it's just to rough things out.
Maybe you want to come back in here.
Whoops and you know start to do more technical stuff with it.
You know you want to measure things out just a little bit better and stuff that's OK but it's honestly
instead of free handing your ellipses if you've got a computer program use it.
You know I would really suggest using it to do your circles ellipses squares all that kind of stuff
and it'll make things a lot tighter for you.
There.
That's pretty funky looking right.
Not the same depth.
So what I would actually do if I was doing this as an official piece is come down here measure it and
then you know measure through that this circles cut.
So it's like a tunnel going through the middle here.
Right.
But I hope these little tricks have helped you out using that burst idea for setting a perspective grid
and then using cutaways with circles ellipses and all that kind of stuff right.
All right guys.
Hope this was helpful for you and I really hope that you're working digitally because it's so much easier.
