Drawing in Perspective Sucks

[nibblezz]

 

Ok, so this is a bird feeder that has been tilted. Instead of drawing it exactly from a photograph, I decided I wanted to change it's perspective. It's a good exercise for when I get a client that wants an object drawn in many different angles/positions. It took me longer than I'll like to admit. Doing perspective was never my strongest talent.

In this case because I had to rotate the object in 2-point perspective, there was a need to add an additional vanishing point (vp), but only for this object. So this rotated object has the same left vp as the grid but a different right vp. I might shrink it. The perspective makes it look really elongated.

I have the same trouble with perspective--it never looks quite right. Super cute bird feeder though--it looks like it could be a laser cut project :-)
