So now that we've learned just the basics of perspective, now I'm going to give you,
I know you're saying, "Wow, how do I use this?" You know, how do you draw something in real
life? Well, just to give you kind of an idea, just the basics. Eventually you want to train
your eye to this naturally so you don't have to use this guy or make a straight line. Eventually,
I'll show you hot to be able just to see it by yourself and you'll do it freehand. You'll
just be able to come up and draw a box real fast in perspective, real quick. So, that's
the goal. So, let's say this is a road right here, let's say we're looking down the road.
So, maybe you can't quite see it. So, let's start to make this like the end of the building,
okay. So we obviously got a sidewalk. We're going to go to the vanishing point so let's
start by drawing a line. And then the sidewalk is obviously getting very small towards the
vanishing point but it'll get bigger when it comes towards us. So start it off and,
at the same time we'll be drawing on like a massive scale, because you see how it kind
of vanishes, it converges with this line. It just kind of happens so don't worry about
that. And so, the (sidewalk), it's going to want to come around the corner, it's going
to run parallel with all the other lines that are running parallel. All these lines are
running parallel with each other back and forth, up and down. All the ones that aren't
are the ones that are pointing towards the vanishing point, so. And f you want to be,
I mean you can get lot of detail if you have. You can draw all the lines that run in a sidewalk.
But as they converge, they also become smaller because they are going into the distance.
Next time you're on the street look at it, you'll actually notice this, you'll be like,
"Yeah, they do get smaller." So, and they'll continue to get smaller as they go down.
