Perspective Tutorial: RS 3

For Fig. 7, the vanishing points and the 65 degree point are all in the same places as before, the bottom line is just as far down, and even the line from the 65 degree point is the same as before.

Once again, we draw in the same exact first shape- a rectangle- all the same as before.

BUT- this time, let's use the trick from the previous page.

Fig. 8 adds the three new squares- in the same way as before, in Fig. 5.

And as before, we continue on and outward.

Until you end up with something like Fig. 9.

Fig. 3 reborn. But did it come out right?

Yes- the rectangles all can have a 65 degree line drawn through them! The area in the darkened lines, which now has 24 rectangles (why not?), isn't "sort of," but accurate and nicely done.

A checkered floor with rectangles, not squares. Now it's been done twice!

All is well.

And by the way- this method can be used with a 45 degree point- squares- too. It'll work, and there are times it'll be easier this way.
