Trust Your Own Eyes When Painting And Drawing Perspectives

by Michael Dale

There are hundreds of art books that will show you the basics of perspectives…

Essentially, they will talk about horizon lines, vanishing points and view points. They are an important guide for an artist to master drawing and painting realistic looking art.

With full knowledge of how to create realistic 2-dimensional drawings, an artist soon gains confidence that they can create lifelike paintings…

* Your picture appears to have depth and substance even though it has been created on a flat surface

* Mood and atmosphere is captured by your pencil drawing

* Your portrait painting subject looks like they could jump out from the canvas and shake your hand

However, for an art beginner, perspective drawing can be a mystery.

Even top professional artists and illustrators can rely too heavily on the rules of perspectives. At times they produce artificial paintings although every effort has been made to honor the perspective laws…

* Objects appear to be distorted

* Extreme flatness is the overall effect

Recognizing your own unique artistic viewpoint is the key to getting the best from perspectives.

You see the world differently from the person standing next to you. Here are some of the reasons why…

* You are physically different… You could be taller or shorter in height

* You could be short-sighted while your neighbor is long-sighted

* You will see colors differently… You could have perfect color vision while others are color impaired

When you have a passion for the art subject your interest levels will be high. Your emotional response will result in you producing better quality drawings and paintings. Your artwork will be inspired.

The great advantage of knowing that everyone sees the world around them differently is that you can justify your art. Whatever art critics might say about your painting and drawing, you will know your art is your own view of reality…

Your Art is your own perspective on life… “Enjoy your painting and drawing”
