Finished Day 3 of Week 4 too late yesterday night to be able post anything, so here you have it.
Represent a box in perspective
To represent a box that is not sitting on the horizontal ground plane:
- draw the front edge (at an angle)
- decide where you want to have the horizon line
- it should be perpendicular to the front edge
- decide where you want your vanishing points to be
- continue drawing the box as normal, but using the slanted horizon line
Splitting boxes
- the center of a box side is where its diagonals intersect
- you can split a side into quadrants by:
- finding the center
- drawing lines parallel with the sides (the line should converge at the same vanishing point the lines it is parallel with converge to)
- use this process to slice your cube and find new complex forms
Assignment
- draw 25 boxes in perspective, with different sizes, side ratios and space orientation
- draw 5 boxes:
- divide each plane of each box in quadrants
- practice slicing the 5 boxes to create new volumes
Everything could be done from imagination or using some boxes as reference.
Materials used:
- graphite B pencil
- wrapping paper
