fuck this

whos even saying that? How is it hard, perspective is literally a mathematical equation, you cant get it wrong.

Perspective is easy when you draw simple boxes but try anything more complex than that.
>>2397383
try anything more complex than that, and then transform everything into boxes. Are you talking about foreshortening? Forced perspective? What was even the point of this thread?
>>2397388
foreshortening it is
>>2397381
math is hard for normies
>>2397410
SO you are teling me that I have to be good at math to draw? Good to know...
>>2397419
if by good, means know how to to multiply the size by the division between of the closest and further points. Then yes, you have to have a 13 year olds grasp of math.
>>2397440
How to do that though
>>2397443
By not being a retard that skipped out of math classes.
>>2397583
You know you're dealing with retards when they say maths and physics have no relation to art. How are you going to depict the natural world when you haven't got a clue how it works?
Art is a multi diciplinary subject.
>>2397583
Are you fucking retarded? A mathematical approach to art is how you fucking get anywhere beyond highschool art class tier shit.
>>2397583
that's not how that works anon
That's because drawing is literally just manipulating perspective. It all comes down to using your brain as a 3D program to run simulations on what shit looks like and then put it on paper.
also there's stuff like creativity and fun that are important
>Draw thing going towards point
>Hard
Nice

/ic/ is the only place where a thread can go worse after this shitpost.
op sucks fzd dick.
How do I learn foreshortening
>>2397379
i remember a little while back the were a bunch of anons always posting stuff about perspective, hard stuff, very technical minutiae about the picture plane and drawing a perfect cube and stuff. it got me really down in the dumps too because i had dunning kruger because drawing from photos and life comes relatively easy to me. then i remembered that Michelangelo quote from when he was 87: "I am still learning." and i realized thats the most fun about art, learning something new. If i ran out of new things to learn i would never get that rush after finishing a really good drawing ever again. Theres nowhere to go but up so dont be so down.
>>2397383
As long as you understand construction you can reduce most things into basic shapes, then apply perspective to those shapes.
The fundamental notion of perspective is that the size of something is inversely proportional to its distance
Something twice as far away will be half as wide and half as tall
This is connected to the "inverse square rule" which is a rule regarding the intensity of light over a distance
>>2398763
I dont like it tho. It means that there is always something missing in my art and I will never do it in a complete way.
Just go through perspective made easy, if you can't handle that you won't be able to handle anything in drawing.
The Scott Robertson type of stuff is only really necessary if you want to go into design or something like that. It's useful to know about but you don't have to go through the whole crazy process of mirroring planes and whatnot every time you draw. Once you understand it you can just rough it all out.
>>2398835
Don't listen to this anon. Scott Robertson's is one of the most important drawing teachers alive today and everyone should study his methods religiously.
