Chapter One: Planes and Circles
Assignment Two
Planes and Circles: One Vanishing Point
For this assignment you are going to practice drawing circles on planes that are receding towards a single vanishing point. You are using one vanishing point in the center of the canvas, but this would still function correctly whether you were creating something using one point or two point perspective.
Create three rows of boxes, making sure that the distance between the left and right sides of the plane decreases as you move closer to the vanishing point; this effect is known as foreshortening. As the plane turns away from the viewer, the distance between the two sides appears to shrink. The foreshortening creates the illusion that the far side of the plane is smaller than the height of the plane, the circles you draw will also appear more narrow as well.
To complete this assignment
Create a sheets of planes and draw in the ellipses (totaling 24) using a single vanishing point, as shown in the video.
