Practice 7: Drawing with measurements

those studies are amazing!!! the only advice that I could give is maybe to study also some nude figure photo references because it will help you to follow correct proportions and start training the eye for the different muscles, but seeing your works you seem an advances student so doesn't matter keep it up!!

Thanks a lot. I appreciate your kind words. I will take up more nude figure drawings too.

This is my entries to the perspective assignment. Have been busy with my full time job but will continue to update as time allows.

My figure drawing sketch assignment based on Noah Bradley's photo bundle. Comments and critiques appreciated

Well done! I have 1 comment and 1 question
The perspective of the book in the lower-left corner seems off.
How did you apply the perspective lines? I miss the pixel version of the lines so much and am still searching for an alternative (the shape version ist crap).

Your assignments are looking pretty good! I think for the 1 point perspective, some of your vertical lines and horizontal lines are at inconsistent angles which makes things look a little warped. Could be a style thing but a super easy fix if it isn't!

@mmatias.mail thanks. Can you point out where it is warped? It's not a style but an oversight on my part

ashwingjose 2020-11-30 15:15:12 UTC #18

@Julia_J Thanks for your feedback. I am still confused about how to do perspective lines for the book as it is at a different angle. I am using Procreate for my painting as I enjoy drawing directly on the screen. There is a perspective guide tool in Procreate that is handy. In Photoshop there is a Vanishing point tool that allows you to define planes. See screenshot. I am also attaching my perspective guides for reference.

Yeah, it's not easy and I can't tell you how to measure it exactly. But by eye-balling, you can see, that the book is not consistent in height. If you want a difference due to perspective it should be higher in the front... I hope this is understandable
I loved the PS perspective grid possibilities, they just decided to de-activate them, nobody knows why

Hey Ashwin! Your horizontal lines and vertical lines should be parallel if they are following the same plane. Going completely vertical and horizontal will look really static though but you can always warp your grid into another perspective afterwards.

The tissue box is also slightly out of your grid and should follow the perspective lines of the left wall if it is attached to it. Basically whenever you place a new object that breaks your perspective grid it will create a new grid with its own vanishing points (e.g the books, the small clock, tissue box), so it takes some tweaking to make it look correct - especially if you're eyeballing it!

Very easy fixes but your work looks great! Keep it up
