Week 06 - Perspective on Photoshop

In the last visual design lesson we looked perspective in Photoshop.

We were given a selection of pictures to look at the perspective of. We used the ruler to drag down a horizon line. We then used the pen tool to create a line from where we guessed the vanishing point was. We continued to copy and paste these lines and manipulated the ends to meet the edges in the picture as well as moving the horizon and vanishing point to make it as accurate as possible.

We then tried a picture with two point perspective. This was slightly different as even if the horizon line was at the same angle, the two vanishing points were out of the picture in different distances.

Lastly we tried a much wider picture with very stretched vanishing points. This one took a lot of getting used to as the slightest movement made a huge difference.

These activities were very useful for me as I don't draw architecture often and perspective is very important when doing so.
