I want to say this about this video because I think many may also run into this problem. I fell into the trap of drawing the human head always on the eye/camera level. I always wondered why the people looked weird in my drawings. Some would look larger than life and some would look, super small. So sometimes I'd stray from that line and place figures in haphazardly. It was until this video that I realized that the eye/camera level can be different from the horizon line AND/or the human head level in the scene. I know that sounds dumb not to realize that. However, most videos I saw before this one always had the eye/camera level at the horizon line and drew the figures heads on that same line. Once I saw you choose the height you wanted for the door, windows and people to be in the scene, that's when I realized that was what I was making errors on. I now see once I choose a point on the scene for the figure's (or any objects) height, I draw a perspective line and adhere to that line for the height of that. I knew this but at the same time, for humans I didn't do it for them because I thought eye/camera level was the eye of all humans (well most at the same height ) in the scene... This is only true for when the camera/eye level lines up with the horizon line. Do you see where I made my mistake at?
I’m so glad this video helps you make sense of this topic Ratus. Because I don’t really create scenes from imagination in my drawing , I don’t have to worry about it normally, so this video took a little more working out than usual before I videoed it. Sounds like it’s fallen into place for you now, which is great. Have fun drawing with it all. 😀
Another great video on perspective!
Glad it was helpful for you. 😀
