Description
This tutorial is new. It includes additional notes and will replace the preview version, as it includes one through three point perspective and other things....Murr... I haven't signed on in months, but I thought I might upload a little somethin' somethin' for you before I lose my internet. So yeah, I won't be replying to notes, comments et cetera, but I hope you will enjoy this tutorial.
Heh, lots of typos I'm sure. u__u Careful before you download; the image is around 15 thousand pixels high.
D.A. LUV,

UPDATE: Thanks very much for support via faves and comments. I'm also really happy to get a DD for a tutorial (my favorite devs.)
For those of you using this for classes or as a teaching aid: I'm happy you find this so useful. I don't mind if you use this as an outline for your work. But if you could credit me with the text, point your students to my website or DA page that'd be awetastic. Also, if you could provide me some info where you are teaching it (name of school, location, etc.) or pictures of your students using my text that be great : ) I'd like to combine these and other tutorials into a mega thick book, and I think it would helpful when I create a book proposal.
Thanks very much,
Sasha Lynn Stowers
I make my tutorials for free, but if you enjoy my tutorials and want to donate some funds for gas, art books, and such, I would appreciate it. [link]

Ah! Thankyou so much! Your tutorial has been such a big help! Usually I just avoid drawing backgrounds altogether due to my not fully grasping perspective during art(thanks to lovely art teacher who didn't actually explain it properlly XP) but now I shall conquer the world with backgrounds! AHHAHAHAHAAAA! Congratulations on the DD n_n It was well deserved!

Nice!
You know about all these things, have seen them here and there, but never compiled on one spot, like you did here. A commendable job, so the DD is well deserved

Umm, Question! When I want to make a 3D Respective, I normally use shading, I shade the parts which has less light on it, But I never heard of one, two and three point perspective, How can I apply this into action for example, when drawing a person? Until now I only understood the lighter shades and overlapping objects only, lol

Wonderful tutorial! this helped me greatly, and I think I've come to understand something new about perspective. owo
I have a question though, how would this work with human perspective, plus getting the anatomy right? ;w; Im having trouble here..

how do you decide the distance between vanishing points and the starting line ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The distance between the vanishing points and the starting line is up to you. Just make sure that you place the starting line between the two points. Also note that the closer a starting line or a starting shape is to the vanishing point, the more distorted and warped the object will appear.

You brought up a lot of interesting points. I've learned perspective in a variety of classes but I didn't know about the objects at the top looking farther than those at the bottom. And I hadn't realized that bird's-eye and worm's-eye were the same thing. Great work with this tutorial!

I never learned any of this and it's -dead- useful.
Definitely food for thought for those of use not well versed in perspective drawing.
Thank you!
