To draw a cube accurately, you first need to draw the orthographic views accurately, then you need to draw the perspective grid accurately, they you need to transfer the orthographic views to the perspective grid accurately.
You can not do the above freehand as you are discovering. Look carefully and you will see the angles in your drawing are incorrect.
The x,y, z axis should be 90 degrees.
You need to use tools like rulers, protractor, ellipse templates, so you may as well use the latest tool, which is 3d software.
10 blender default cubes. All the same size. The size and shape of the cube does not change. Our perception of them does as they recede into the distance.
3d software uses complicated mathematics to imitate our perception.
I am aware that these lines are not 100% accurate. What I am well aware now, is that if I have to go accurate and use rulers- I will be able to draw a perfect cube. And tilted cube.
To have an idea/ and understanding how perspective works, is for me more important.
And I did not have that before I have started this topic.
In fact, drawing a perfect cube in perspective is not easy.
So out of curiosity, I watched some videos on YT about: “how to draw a perfect cube in perspective.”
There are techniques for doing this.
Drawing using some of the techniques I saw (there were two) in Krita (or another app) can be a bit boring, even with several tools to help. Drawing on paper with real rulers seems more practical.
I would love to see a class by M. C. Escher on this subject
Yes, you’re right. Moreover, all these promising tools in drawing are an excellent tool to help you set out your plans, but by no means the basis of the basics. If you draw strictly following these rules, the drawing will not be natural, too broken for our perception.
Да, вы правы. Более того, все эти перспективные инструменты в рисовании, это лиш инструмент помогающий изложить задуманное, но не в коем случае не основа основ. Если рисовать строго придерживаясь этих правил, рисунок будет не натуральным, слишком ломаным для нашего восприятия
Yeah! It seems like we had an interesting topic to discuss and we came to a conclusion and we learned from it- what more to wish, hm?! Thank you so much all to participate and sharing your knowledge!
