The lens was pretty wide so the angles are rather sharp, with close vanishing points giving a slight warped result. I'll try a wider VP approach for the next one.

Worked through the book stack example and realized how beneficial the exercise is for developing the 2D perspective at varying heights and rotations on its axis.

added some 2pp parts to my drawing i did for 1pp

Must both vanishing points be laid on the horizon line?

👋🙂

I had to try to make a scene with two-point perspective and even though it kinda sucks I had fun and I'll do better next time

Gotta say, the complexity of perspective got much higher in this second video. And it makes sense that two-point perspective is used much more than one-point perspective. One-point seems much too simplistic to portray most scenes.

not sure if i really did right with these books since the second vanishing point is out of canvas... Was kind of hard.

will someone help me figure out what I’ve done wrong with these books? It looks like they’re just floating on top of each other, instead of following Newtonian physics. 🤡

i drew a two point room because i misread the first project's rules oops, so ill put it here instead

I tried to stack a few books on a desk while varying the vanishing points and trying to plot some estimates when the vanishing point was outside of the paper. It was also fun to use a pencil ! Any comments or feedback welcome

What is the significance of moving the two vanishing points closer, like how do I know where to place them? If the two vanishing points are closer (like in the top drawing), is that similar to like a fish eye lens on a camera in how it warps things? Just trying to understand it better, where these points should land.

Hi guys, one point perspective was easy :) Could someone explain me pleas why books I drew doesn't look like it's laying flat on each other? I thought as long as vertical axis is perpendicular to horizon it should look like it's flat on one another but apparently it's not enough. And how to figure out correct second vanishing point for the desk in my drawing after all?

You don't need plan and elevation view to rotate vanishing points. You just need to find you station point and use a 90degree triangle to rotate them.

just want to share that I did a painting with boxy horses (Swedish wooden Dala-horses) and receeding fences and realized how useful the X method and other perspective stuff was for this. Thanks Stan. 😀

I experimented with the book stack but found it difficult to see and draw. So I took a few photos from different angles. I'm not sure it was a good idea as it's not really what you demonstrated. With the random book stack I wasn't sure when looking at them the horizon or vanishing points, so drew the books and then extended their edges to what I considered the direction of the VP points. My conclusion is I'm still uncertain of which perspective I'm using, I think it's 2 point as most of the books are viewed corner on making the sides visible. I marked the suggested vanshing lines on the drawing border as suggested in the video and tried to use them, but that became confusing too, I think because the various books were angled differently so each would have created their own VP points. Any advice appreciated. Thanks

How do I know how far apart to place the vanishing points?

I think I finally figured something out with the kitchen drawing. I first have to find the box that is the SPACE in which the kitchen sits and ignore the spaces around it. This is a redraft of the perspective drawing of my kitchen, which is pretty close to what I see when I stand in the dining room and look into the kitchen from the side. I'd like to try this by doing a 1-pt perspective drawing, but I think it will be a distorted view. It might be easier, though, to depict the kitchen interior in 1-pt perspective.

Tried to draw some books with different vanishing points. Hope u guys like it. :D

Oh, g-dddd. Please, someone help! I know that there is 2-pt perspective in this very rough drawing. This is an alt-2 for our kitchen renovation. Showing an existing wall on the right, with extra cabinetry in the event we cannot take the wall down (X-ray.) I drew and redrew the corners of the cabinet several times because I got very confused by the perspective. .
