How to Get Simple Perspective in your Drawings
Your brain has two sides; the right hemisphere (right brain) and the left hemisphere (left brain). Both sides of your brain play an equally important role in drawing.
Right- brain thinking is visual, perspective, intuitive, insightful, and creative.
Creative side: The right side of your brain is responsible doing the following;
Seeing relationships and likenesses between shapes and spaces.
Combining various visual elements to form a whole image.
Seeing harmony and balance instinctively.
Analytical: The analytical left brain is responsible doing the following;
Using mathematical logic to establish proportion.
Planning a drawing according to the rules of composition.
Analyzing the step by step procedures of composing a drawing.
In order to draw in a way that gives an effect of three dimensions you will need to learn a little about perspective. Perspective gives us an ability to assess the placing of objects and people in relation to one another.
Waking up the Right side of Your brain: For most people, the left brain gets plenty of exercise in everyday life when they make routine decisions (habitual pattern)
Circles in perspective:
1. Put a rectangle around your circle.
2. Find the centre of the rectangle, is simply a matter of drawing lines from corner to corner.
3. Extend the centre points upwards to find the tip of the gable roof.
Circle in 'Perspective':
The top and bottom lines would follow through to the vanishing point at eye level. The circle has become an ellipse, with the central point closer to the 'back' than the front.
Ellipses: Curved forms
From other angles, circles become ellipses, and you need to bear in mind those points in mind.
