Sketchbook 5

I drew six panels that captured a day in my life, as per prompt 28.

I wanted to make something similar to this short animation that shows the day cycle at one bench in Russia:

My panels start and end with me in bed. As the day progresses, the scene gets darker until I eventually use white to designate lines on a black background to represent night in a similar fashion to Luca Buvoli.

Exercise 4 – Perspective Drawing

Perspective drawing is the method by which a three dimensional scene can be rendered on a two dimensional sheet of paper. This exercise served as an introduction to perspective technique. Perspective art can be categorized by its number of vanishing points. The following three pictures are examples of that.

One Point Perspective

Two Point Perspective

Three Point Perspective

Perspective technique is not limited to straight lines. Circles viewed at an angle are rendered below to explore the technique. On the paper, they are drawn as ellipses.

The trick is to mark the diagonals of a square 2/3 of the way towards the edges, then draw the ellipse through those points.
