Lionel - I'm down with something today too. I don't have enough energy to see if what you said is right or not but it sounds sorta like what I wrote last time.

One point perspective is distorted b ...

O.K. I think I see what's going on here now. The half way line in the 2nd illustration is at 26.4 degrees instead of 22.5 degrees because of the distortion of 1 point perspective. In reality "what t ...

Hmm - come to think of it Loomis's second illustration is right for one point perspective. My guy's pretty clearly in 3 point perspective since he's tapering off at the bottom. Interesting.

Now ...

Lionel - Given that your field of view is 90 degrees loomis makes that correct assumsion that one half the picture are on the ground plane is taken up by a distance equal to twice the height of the vi ...

Lionel - Here's a diagram of the eye:

As you can see the part in the red square, the part that first picks up the light, sticks o ...

I think Quake is right.

Captain, I dinna think so!

Though the eye receives data from a field of about 200 degrees, the acuity over most of that range is poor.

Uhm try stepping away from Quake for a minute in the real world you actually do have a 180 degree field of vision. It isn't acute near the edges but it's there. Hold out your arms and wiggle your fi ...

I've been trying to figure out Loomis's explanation for finding depth in perspective:

The Real Mark - It's Photoshop. I used the pencil tool on the hair strands. It's one of the standard brushes.

_JD_ - No, it was done by eye.

helltaxi - Good! But I didn't!

Dryfire - No doubt the neck is too long. I've moved the jaw line up a few times but I haven't done anything to shorten up the neck to match. I really need to do that.

The Real Mark - I've been pa ...

I'm not digging the human chest structure. If it flies it's going to have a deep chest like a bird.

I haven't gotten to parts like the ears or collar yet. They're still in the stand-in stage.

Let me go ahead and say that this is not traced and no colors were sampled from the original photo. It's all done by eyeball.

Question, why upgrade? I have been using 5.0 since I learned about photoshop and have never upgraded.

Yikes! If you're on a PC upgrade to 5.5 at least, 5.0 had a bug that would cause it to imprope ...

I've finally managed to get a painting pretty close to photo-real, if you step back a bit to where the lack of detail doesn't show. I'd like to get it the rest of the way to photo-real, or beyond pho ...

I don't know about the background, but if you're doing an underwater scene you need caustics. You know, all those cool light patterns the waves cause? You could also use some floating debris and the ...

i have the same problem, when i do really fast circles i have not just a smooth circle but lots of corners in there!

<see>

I'd like to know the answer to this too. I don't think ...

aphelionart wrote - i'm just saying i wish the "fine art" or "high art" (a term I hate) part of art had at least as much public reveration.

Like Football or NASCAR Wink

The way I see it, all t ...

it bothers me so much to the point that if someone else doesn't do it before me, i plan on rebuilding fine art. and i'll die trying if i have to. i'm not trying to be cocky, but it's about damn ti ...

Luv it, colors are wonderful, must go improve my own work - BUT, I do spot a few anatomical problems. The pink dude's deltoid appears to be tapering down into his bicep, instead of into the outside o ...

I started this painting months ago and decided it was time to go ahead and finish it. I think I'm done with manga now, it's time t ...

Ah, crud. I read through the color section of Loomis's Creative Illustration

You're writing from Europe, aren't you? No doubt you're comment is more useful for gezstar than mine. I'm in the States and our industry couldn't be in much worse shape than it is. I'd take pretty ...

I thought American comic artists worked on a page rate - if they were lucky. One comic artist I met (not a big name) seemed to be happy at $60 a page. On the other hand the big guys, the Todd Mcfarl ...

Thanks! I'll have to check out the books mentioned in the thread you linked to. The one I bought looked good enough when I got it but it didn't even get into 3 point perspective!

I've been trying to figure out how to get a correct depth in original (not drawn from life) pictures. No exaggerated perspectives for me please! Unless there's a good reason for it, I'd like my persp ...
