Perspective and Isometric Drawing
These are two forms of representation through which objects and surroundings are brought to life on paper. Isometric drawing is used to represent 3-D objects in its actual form. While perspective is how it appears to the human eye.
There are 3 types of perspective representational drawings. One point perspective, where there is only one vanishing point. Objects appear to converge at one point. Two-point perspective, this includes two vanishing points and depicts two sides of the object drawn. And finally, the three-point perspective is the least used method, It is generally used to depict buildings from low or high eye level.
I started with creating basic cubes in one-point perspective. Then followed it by drawing ellipses, which were a little struggle as hand movement was not that smooth. Finally moved to an actual scene of a room.
After one-point perspective, it was a predictable move to start with two-point perspective. This was a little tricky as well as fun to draw.
Once I studied these perspectives, I tried to compare all three with a medium of one object to better understand the difference between them. I used a basic sharpener on my desk and sketched it out in all three perspectives.
Isometric Drawing uses 30-degree angles to represent forms. I downloaded a grid and printed it out. I used the grid as a base to draw isometric projections on paper. It helped me understand the representational style better. I started with a cube and moved to basic forms. Then tried a path movement and finally ellipses which were tricky as always.
