Imperfect perspective, but radical believability

How I created a panorama from a bunch of photos that seems somehow real

Hello Atelier friends!

I’ve got a deeper dive into one of the drawing that was posted on Tuesday - this urban sketch isn’t a project to DO, but hopefully shows you that being perfect on your perspective isn’t necessary. It’s more about avoiding the errors that make your drawing feel like a funhouse.

When learning, a lot of people either want “rules” to follow to sketch their house or street. Where do the lines go, what angles do I use. Because rules seem like they’d be easier to grasp than my answer: what do you SEE?

I’ll show you an easier example below that you can try with a tissue box. And at the end we’ll look at the nutty perspective in the Bologna drawing in the video to see where those lines are wonky.

This post and video are available to Atelier Members. Upgrade to learn how to make perspective believable even when it’s wrong! :)
