2 Point Perspective Study.
I took screenshots from the game Infinity Nikki and recreated the scene. While i did not construct this from imagination, I learned a lot about what it takes to make a believable environment from this study and focused on pushing line weight to create depth within the picture.
In the previous room study I did, I was struggling with making the space feel believable, so I think paying attention to some of the elements I learned from this study will help in future processes.
Some learnings from this study:
1. Including people going about their daily activities helps to tell a story and create atmosphere
2. Paying attention to details on surfaces is important. Think about what materials everything is made of.
3. Breaking objects out of alignment with the main perspective points helps everything feel more natural. Objects in the real world aren't always aligned perfectly with one another.
4. Learning 3D and being able to construct and block in first-pass environments in that software will help elevate your work.
5. Vanishing points can be off the page as long as there is a grid structure to guide your lines in place. You don't have to draw to the points every time, but can use the lines as a guide.
6. Line weight is important. Thicker outlines bring things to the foreground and show overlapping structure.
