I just go to this viewpoint perspective with cubes, but thank you so much for pointing out the obvious, that lmao this applies to circles as well. I was subconsciously struggling with this, thank you for clarifying. Within first ten seconds, I exclaimed out loud, “ohhhhhhh!”

7:50 what you are drawing there is not a rotated cylinder. It is more like top and bottom face (circles) tilted on parallel tubes. Because if straight lines are connecting to one vanishing point, it means those lines are parallel to each other.

@theapexpredator157 8 ай бұрын

I agree that these may not all be hard and fast rules... Although it may be that Ellipses have their Minor Axis point to a VP, I've seen an image that would suggest that this may not always be true... It's a bit disappointing because I really like to have Absolute Truths to go off of...

@miklospinter 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! This is a great tutorial! The only thing that might be a little confusing is the glass you have used as example. It looks much wider in the top than in the bottom, but when you start drawing in perspective, those are supposed to be perfect (straight) cylinders, right? So in my opinion, a straight glass with constant thickness would have been better for the demonstration. But I guess you don't have any, do you? :D

Marshall Vandruff says in his perspective videos the fastest way to see if an artist is untrained is to look at their ellipses. So if you think gosh I don't want people to think Im untrained then you should properly learn your ellipses.

@chandandolai7022 7 ай бұрын

As you mentioned kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNWppcikxpi9YZc.html, as the eclipses move towards the vanishing point, they become more circular. Consequently, if I were to draw a circle halfway to the vanishing point and subsequently add another cylinder behind the initial one, how would the overall depiction appear?

@elrichmc5336 Жыл бұрын

yo, I have a question. What would happen if when looking directly at the top of the cylinder instead of aprefect circle, it were an elipse? I hope I made myself clear

The technique works for every ellipse that is on an axis. If you wanna draw loose ellipses then you have to reference the geometry around the ellipse for perspective.

@@robertlkiss o i see, you mean dividing the rectangle into several parts and placing the ellipse as measurements in the rectangle. Thank you for the advice.

@LAN-w- Жыл бұрын

So does it also mean that the side left and right of the cylinder always parallel to each other? Meaning both side have the same degree no matter the perspective?

@robertlkiss Жыл бұрын

Yes … ish. Imagine having your cylinder in a rectangle, and your cylinder fits perfectly in it. WIll the sides of the rectanglebe parallel to each other? The only case they are not if one of the sides is slanted differently, has a wedge or something. And disregards this if you are still at the beginning of your journey and this is more confusing then helping, but when you draw in perspective nothing is paralalel because everything is running towards one perspective point. So in that case the anwser is no, becaue the ellipse(in this case the side) that is further away from you is always slightly more open(meaning the minor axis is a little bit longer)

Where did you learn that ellipses are more circular the closer they are to the vanishing point? I don't remember that being in How-to-Draw,, maybe its really intuitive, but i haven't ever thought of it like this, so thanks! have been really struggling drawing multiple simple forms in space with different vanishing points with high accuracy,,, such as 3 detailed curvy space ships in the same scene at different xyz angles, this trick helps alot! Any recommendations for this kind of drawing? (multiple rotated objects in space?) example at 21:41 how do you pick where all the vanishing points are going to be accurately? say for a mechs

@robertlkiss Жыл бұрын

Ellipses are only more circular going towards a vanishing point if they are part of a cylinder, and the central axis of that cylinder(which forms the minor axis of the cylinder's ellipses) is pointing towards that vanishing point. And i guess I learned this by observation, and later during industrial design sketching classes.

I hate to be that guy, but you're not drawing the center point of the circle in perspective, you're drawing the center point of the elipse itself. Now that might not seem to make a difference but it does! You can find the center of an elipse by drawing a box around it in the same perspective and drawing diagonals through the center of the box. What this looks like, is the center of the circle being off-center from the center point of the elipse.

@robertlkiss 3 ай бұрын

Technically the center of an ellipse is not exactly in the center of the box that you draw around it. I made that mistakes in one of my previous videos and had a mend it. If Tha is what you are talking about.
