Perspective Homework and Resources



Assignment due 9/8/12: Just pick a bug (or make one up) and draw it at a 3/4 down and a 3/4 up view. Examples below. Start a sketchbook dedicated to drawing environments. Studies from films, games, life, or even concepts are what I'm looking for.

example 3/4 down shot. (Note: The horizon line is above the bugs for a 3/4 down shot.)


Other cool reference.










Build an inspiration folder, and study the stuff you like. Looking at cool stuff will teach you how to make cool stuff.

He's really good, really fast, and his images have strong structure to them. Watching people draw/design helps tremendously. In fact, this video goes over some of what last weeks class was about. So if you need a refresher throughout the week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1McYZX6KScg&list=UUbdyjrrJAjDIACjCsjAGFAA&index=130&feature=plcp
