So, I choose 6-point perspective instead. The left sketch is ok on it own, the buildings look tall, the sky brings some spaces to the drawing, but something is missing. Remember, there’s no right or wrong, depending on what feelings you want to bring up in your drawing, choose your ruler wisely.įor example, let’s use my art. With 360-degree of the visual field, this kind of perspective brings more depth and space to the drawing. Some horizontal vanishing lines on the right hand side (windowheads) intentionally miss the relevant VP to meet an imagined intersection between themselves and the horizontal vanishing line of the window sills, beyond the horizonline this is another kind of perspective force.In my opinion, although 5-point and 6-point perspective are both for wide view angle, 5-point perspective appears to be a little ‘flat’, while 6-point perspective appears to be more extreme.ĥ-point perspective is quite symmetrical, it creates a feeling just like looking through a door's peephole.īecause its features are to create only 180-degree of visual field, 5-point perspective brings narrow and oppressive feeling to the drawing.Ħ-point perspective on the other hand, has additional focal point which means it has more freedom. Though this image seems loose and casual, it represents a lot of time and work to have put together, and from what I saw in a quick survey, the same is true to all the images from this series.Many lines are curves, including the horizonline, and all vertical lines as well.In the case of this image, the left-hand side horizontal / vanishing lines are heavily arced, and though they all do share a singular centrepoint ( the crying child) its not the same centrepoint as the few arced horizontal / vanishing lines on the right - the sphere distortion on the left is very strong (the arcs are tighter) to make for a more distorted, warped result.Īfter throwing a quick sketch together over this image, I'll add some details:

It's an intentional push into the uncanny valley, for a specific desired effect.Īs to how to construct the perspective grid for this image? Horizon line very high (1/6 paper height) (because bird's-eye) and tilted to the left almost 30º vanishing point roughly 2/3 right versus centre of paper once all main perspective grid lines drawn, if you want to add a spherical / lens distortion feel, redraw each perspective gridline as a long-chord arc passing through the same points, with all lines sharing a singular arc centrepoint. These are all used as a storytelling device to make the viewer/reader feel more injected into the action, and to feel like things are all a bit. There are also a number of examples of exaggerated "lens effect", where there is an approximation of the spherical distortions you get with a wide-angle or fish-eye lens when the subjects are closer to it than the lens was designed for - also another kind of of perspective force.
#Fish eye sketch series
This series of comics, manga and animé seems to frequently use very low eye station point (worm's eye view) or very high eye station point (bird's eye view) to add a sense of exaggerated perspective which is often called perspective force. In this video I show you how to draw a 5 Points Perspective Fish Eye Grid in a few easy to follow steps - youll be drawing like Kim Jung Gi in no time Show. Spherical warp in the left-hand side barycentric to the wailing child in the column of walking people. This is an example of a classic one vanishing point bird's eye perspective, but with a
