The simple situation of a street in the desert helps us to understand
Watch the film and try to do the same.
Script
Hello. New situation for perspective. We have the horizon as always, we have it here. Name it. Horizon.
And we have a vanishing point in the middle because we are walking on the street and rectangular to the vanishing point. This is my standing point. And because I am walking on the left side of the street, I have here a line. And I have here another line that is quite tending to the right.
I’m standing on the left side of the street.
Okay, I want to ask you to draw some street lights. Streetlights are very tall, so taller than me, meaning they are above eye level, I don’t know, somewhere here, maybe somewhere here, or even here. And they behave to the vanishing point like all lines that go along the streets like this. So this helps me. If I want to draw some street lights here and here, or here, I can draw them.
I can draw them very easily. And another idea is that I have close to the street lights, I have some small Pillots that are standing here. So only sized 30, 40 centimeters, something like this, or even a little bit more. So I can use the same concept. I have a line that helps me.
And then I can draw all these pillars because they have all the same size along the street. That’s it. So you understand this concept and you can do a drawing by yourself.
