I've been having trouble lately with my sketches. I've gotten considerably better at drawing images (IMO). However, when implementing more than one of these images into a scene, things just look... off. Here's one I'm drawing right now(WIP). See how the path doesn't correspond with the perspective that the beach suggests? I've tried reading online, and I understand about vanishing point, etc, but I fail to understand how I can use this to apply to my images. Could someone post some pictures of how the path should look and some useful tips for me? I've been trying to read stuff on line, but it doesn't seem to help.
I might note that the image is not done. I generally move from "center stage" if you will to "downstage". All "Upstage" is done entirely on computer. It's too difficult to draw EVERYTHING, but I still want to set up perspective. |

uhhh. alright.
This is kind of hard to explain, but I will gve it a shot since nobody else has.
The deal with vanishing point, is that everything goes to it... Often diagonally. Like with your picture for example, the beach line wouldn't be going "straight" out from the veiwpoint, it'd be going diagonally in, towards the center. Same goes for the path.
I don't know if you've done this before, on your own, or in school, but you take a blank peice of paper, a put a dot in the center (horizontal center) and then draw a horizontal line going through it. Then you draw some block letters, and then "extend" all their points to the vanishing point. Kind of hard to explain without some pictures (which I would do, but my webhost is currently not axcessable) but I hope that will give you the idea.
Hope I could be to some assistance. |

Most important is ... your vanishing points are not all on the same line (horizon).
