About This Class

Linear perspective drawing is the art of creating the illusion of depth on flat surface of sketch. In perspective all the objects seem to gradually decrease in size when the distance between them and viewer increase. And each of the sets of parallel lines coming out from the objects in the sketch appear to meet at one particular point.

In the first video I'll explain you what is the line of horizon, what is vanishing or melting point and which lines are known as orthogonals or convergence lines. We'll be speaking about two mostly used perspective schemes: one-point perspective and two-point perspective. These two types of linear perspective give us enough freedom in sketching to achieve a good result in big variety of landscapes.

In the two next videos I'll build up examples of landscapes based on one-point and two-point perspective schemes. And, of course, I'll show you some of my tricks and hints for avoiding unnecessary work and trouble drawing landscape.

This class gives you basic knowledge about linear perspective and step-by-step instructions for using this knowledge in drawing.

Teacher

Hello, I'm Evgeniy.

I am an artist from Moscow but recently I moved to Barcelona. I graduated from Moscow Padagogical University, Fine Arts & Graphic Department and have practiced both fine arts and teaching ever since, simultaneously more than 20 years.

As teacher I have always aimed at creating an integral system, a consistent range of methods that would allow me to effectively teach drawing and painting to any person regardless of skills. These methods come as the result of experience; they are tested in practice and proven to give fast results. As well, I have a vast experience in creating specific short-term courses, not to mention fine art workshops, etc.

In Barcelona I organise sketching workshops for tourists. We are sketching the architecture landmarks inc... See full profile

1. Introduction: Hi everybody. This time our topic is linear perspective. In perspective, all the objects seem to graduate degrees in size when distance between them and viewer in Greece, each of these sets of parallel lines coming out from the object, in this case appear to meet at one particular point. Speaking of linear perspective, we have to notice this system we apply generated with a box-like object. I mean rectangular boxes. We use it for trolling the rooms with furniture. And of course, the streets with buildings. Landscapes. To mostly used perspective schemes, one-point perspective and two-point perspective. In the next videos, I'm going to build up examples of landscapes based on 1.2 perspective schemes. See you later. 2. Types of linear perspective: Hi everybody. Are more than two types of perspectives, hemes. But for beginning, one-point perspective and two-point perspective give us enough freedom and sketching to achieve a good result in big variety of landscape. Boxes surrounding us in daily life usually are standing on the horizontal surfaces, horizontal planes. How we look depends on reposition. More precisely on the level of our eyes. Level of ice is horizontal plane true. But we see it like line, line, we call the line of Horizon. Boxes on this gauge. First box is below eye level. We see it's topside. Second is overworked. I live in and we see its bottom side. Box is directly on where eye level. And we don't see neither its bottom side. Note. These third box is in position of a building seen from the street. Level normally is higher than base overbuilding. All the parallel lines are getting closer and closer with a distance. You can remember how parallel alliance of railway track seem to meet at a distant point. Parallel lines belonging to the horizontal plane meet at a point on the horizon. This point is called the varnishing or melting point. Lines meeting more nation point are known as orthogonals or convergence lines. To mostly used perspective schemes. One-point perspective and two-point perspective. Here we are speaking of quantity of melting points. The one-point perspective scheme, outline of sight is directed in parallel with lines of depth of our boxes. Here is the top view, VR outside of viewpoint in which scheme? When we are looking from viewpoint, vc line of sight like point on the horizon line. It is the melting point. All the rest of the lines of depth meet at this point. Vertical lines in 1 perspective scheme are vertical and horizontal lines or horizontal. It is very convenient scheme because here is only one melting point. It is placed inside of a sketch. But this time over linear perspective has its flow. It looks sometimes not very realistic. Threats are not always organized like chessboard. In two-point perspective scheme, our line of sight is directed diagonally, relatively basis of our boxes. We have to melting points from foldLeft an hour for each one, for one set of parallel lines. The lines of vertical set are vertical. This type of linear perspective is more realistic, but it has its flow to usually both melting points are far away outside of our sketch page. Northern these schemes on location, they can choose position to draw the sketch. Before sketching, we can draw small schematic sketch to put horizon, line and all the melting points in proper place and take a look how perspective works in our sketch. Now, you can try to build up a couple of small sketches with boxes using two types of perspective schemes, one-point perspective and two-point perspective. It makes fury list abstract and more usable. In the next videos, I am going to build up examples of landscapes based on 1.2 perspective schemes. And of course, I will show you some of my tricks and hints for avoiding unnecessary work and Chapel. See you later. Bye-bye. 3. One-point perspective scheme in landscape: Hi, everybody This time will be true in landscape using one point perspective scheme on the photo VC Nice street We've built our two goals from left on from right off bell tower are facing us well, the rest over walls are going in parallel with our line offside in depth over the landscape . It is perfect. Scenery, um toe apply one point perspective, but from to start in case of this type of street view, they have to decide which part of landscape will be main parts and which part will be secondary, secondary part. We can cut off at any place in order to adjust image to our sketch page. Obviously, main part must be to central rules. We built our and facade to write ended with Blue Peric. Insane Kai's point in the main part will be chimney and based off to central balls. Will. The bottom level main part is more or less square. Let's mark place for main part off landscape. In our page, we have to prison the lines the divide page into three parts, upper part for sky lover for Earth and middle part for our mind billions. We have two vertical lines leading sound space from Leftem from right The America Week Off Our main part we make with equal toe height. So in middle off page now is square frame. Now, using our baby the device, they find out proportions inside square frame. We move great closer to our eyes or farmer to feed even quantity of squares, Toby for main part of scenery. So I think four skirts and we'd and five squares in height. He's gonna be in greed in our sketchbook remark, communal off bitch over the square frame and after middle off each of two parts. Now it is divided into four equal parts. We put five of these seven parts in kite andro, great with white lines. Let's take a look have one scapes its into these great cost of lived from bell tower is exactly four squares in height and one in the image. The line of off its pitched roof goes from top right corner off four square toe left and up in fifth square and the middle of the roof. They put the chimney chimney ends on the top of that line off fifth square for self toe the right engine with blue parking sign is one, and health scares me in hurt. It is free squares from left side and four and health squares from right remark, these points and Lincoln Ville. We get a roof line. These roof line is one off diagonals, So now we can find the melting point on the grossing. Off this line, these lines off charism. The street in our landscape goes up here, so lives offside balls and level off heads off. People can't help us to find decoration Lee, but we can use brick pattern on my left ball causes to us. The line off horizon is on the level off one of the articles from Brick Pattern, which is horizontal. It is a little higher, a Bonn based off to center of walls. Bottom off are great. So we drove a craze in line and find it's grossing the roof or juvenile melting point. Now the divide site off building close to the blue parking sign in three parts in height, ground floor and two story up, and will increase marks with melting point. It not only gives us great for this building, but help us to find proper place for all the buildings going in depth towards the bell tower we divide with clear beneath built our in four parts vertically. Three off well lived are facades off free, far buildings. Mandel is over the same height. Two story above ground floor left and right here, one store more last off beach. The roofs have their own direction. They are not related to our melting point. Build our takes one health over square and keep off if inspire ends on the line off left pitched roof. No, we have to divide windows and gaps in between. On, we're ready for said, because of perspective causes. Windows look wider and far. Windows look nearer. How to find out there We have easy way to do it from top right corner off Assad we drove hold it into line and from bottom right corner Vidro diagonal lying toe, left toe could and forever until it cross horizontal line. Now we need to mark with over windows and with spaces between them. On these line segment, as if we saw them right in front of us. Without perspective, distortion to the right. We have free windows very close to each other and got on the right toe left very are two windows and bigger gaps. So they have to divide right half off. Where is the line? Into four equal parts off their tough view. Place to windows, using our eyes with only one thing to note a bit off. Each vino is the same like all right, 14 This is precise work. So we need special measuring too. And these two is It can't already be a tear off. Strip off paper and Marconnet this off our course into line. Then we fold it. Now it is divided into house and one over calls We fault two times two divided into force. If another stripe remark 1/4 from first tripe and win mark two equals lane segments for two left windows. The transfer marks from the stripe on the horizontal line segment, then villians of Indo marks on horizontal line. We've bottom right corner off Assad in one point to find out very, very cross the roof lane. I do it with help off postcard, using it like a ruler from points where these lines are crossing the roof line. We drove vertical wives and now they have a row off being those gradually dick reason in perspective when we drove up and both of lines off windows, the use of these top and bottom lines off windows to drove windows on the far facades toe. But Woodrow these windows with fi and vertical lines only January trying to keep where top end along of our terminals. This drove lance off sidewalks and bass lines off buildings on the street. Place off red sidewalk goes caravan courageous and land. As I mentioned, the streak goes up you. So these lines have their own melting point higher than our Milton Point on a raid on line . Their first shot from the left closest to us because it's all melting point to it is on the horizon line but shifted to the right because this facade goes not exactly in part of our line offside. Using these extra melting point, the windows of this building, part of building from right Vidro using our first Milken point we're in schematic is radium , the race construction lines and begin working on the does the earth. Some objects, some patterns, making sketch more livid. Now we can use the line language to give impression off depth and feeding off. Picture the check sickness off lands closer toe of your They have to be stronger and we have distance. We have to become gener and later and sketches origin. No, you can try to create your own skates using one point perspective. Skin. They have a clear understanding off needed steps. It is easy. So I hope you enjoy the process and result. Bye bye and good luck way. 4. Two-point perspective scheme in landscape: way, everybody, It's time to throw landscape using two point perspective scheme Here, you see Nice one scape Very line off site is directed diagonally related Lito basis over buildings. It is the corner of you. We have to melting points here one from left, an hour from the right. Both melting points are outside of her picture. But I know one trick which helps us to deal with this problem. What? From to start, we start again deciding this part off landscape will remain part and which part will be secondary? Obviously main part off our sketch is a building in the mid Oh, let's murder, please. For main part off landscape in our page video face into three parts We have two horizontal lines upper part for Skylar for Earth and middle part for our main building. Now, using our greeted device, we will find out proportions for our main building. But here will be one important point. I keep the bottom line of great on the level of horizon level of operation is very level over people's heads in landscape in building could be here ground floor and three stories up. So I put four squares in height, and it fits in the horn squares to the two vertical lines. The mark bit off our main part, equal toe cried and divided in tow. Great forced person carrot and forced person with Vidro vertical line in the middle over third square. It is the corner over building, and now we have to find out their angles for a roof. Lines very is one easy trick for it. We need straight off paper for our measuring. It is very easy to make the stream the snap off life. Using Ben Press cut technology. When the strip is a radio bended and moving, it fingers. The change on between two ends off our streets via just trip ages, toe crushing off corner line and roof line. When it fits, be just praise with bended part. And here we are. People have been stripped of a sketch and mark angle. Now we have to our Logano's and Horizon Line. How to find all the rest of our Fogel's for our 1,000,000,000 without melting points Very easy. Our vertical corner line is already divided into four equal parts for quitters. Now we divide red and left vertical lance into four equal parts each to and drawing in. All remarks bigot. Our totals toe bass lines to a building. The just extend vertical lands and mark on each of them held off quarter than to distribute windows on the left wall. The use differed from previous video about one point perspective. Skin from top quarter. Be true reason. Tow line toe lived. And from bottom corner, Vidro they are gonna line toe left 1/4 and far until it grows horizontal line. Now we need to mark this line segment as if we so windows right in front of us. If our perspective distortion, then the link lands. Being toe marks on before is on the line the bottom corner off Assad in one point to find out very gross but roof line from points where these lines are crushing the roof line. We drew vertical lines, and now we have ah ro off windows, gradually decreasing in perspective. The mark windows on Grateful Way will be drawn. Beef vertical lines only accept the last windows to read Ven Vidro, part of left billions using or totals off our main building part of the building. On the right, we grow in an arbitrary manner and the some trees. Now Woodrow Top and bottom lines off windows over left full. The use these open water marks to drove windows on the right hole toe at some details there , at shadows on windows and doors to give them their the other drove stronger all the lines from shadow. It sides over objects to show the reaction of light in our scenery, we check thickness off lines. Cool it, the viewer. They have to be stronger and your distance. They have to become thinner and lighter. And finally we at some patterns, making sketch more, viewed it so sketches radium. You can try to draw your own Skitch using two point perspective scheme Not, you know, Treek helped to create or to organize the world milking poise. It makes this schematics face much either. See you later. Bye Bye way.
