Two Point Perspective Building Roughs

Assignment #2- Themes for is assignment- 

Old England, Old Medieval Buildings, Boat docks & Fishing villages, and London in 2 point perspective. Multiple buildings in a township point of view.

Gather reference and create multiple thumbnails based in 2 point perspective. 




What not to do...
( When Vp's are too close, and your subject matter too large, your subject gets fanned out, with a line of symmetry in the middle.) Vanishing points need to be far out away from the frame, or else the drawing won' t work and you won't be able to reframe your work.

Assignment 1- Downtown Cottage Market Place in One Point Perspective

  Design Brief- Continuing to work off the Elves & Gnomes story theme, please design a downtown cottage marketplace matching the design of your exterior house including similar organic plants and trees. (It does not have to be exact but should resemble the same world.) In this scene there should be a minimum of three store fronts selling goods, with one being the dominant visual read. This would be the local town where our main character goes to buy goods and interact with others.

DESIGN THEORY & EMOTIONAL CONTEXT

 Still the same -flowing, organic, movement, harmony, nature, water, fluidity, friendly, peaceful. 

Camera Angle= Two Point Perspective Angle - Mid to lower-level horizon line with surrounding foreground elements emphasizing a pathway for character animation to move from left to right, and right to left. Should be a wide angle shot with at least 2 field guides in sizes. 

STEP 1- Reference Sheet (all reference 11x 17 for wall display)

STEP 2- Design Sheet & Shape Construction-Start with sketch ideas of each marketplace store front just like we did with the house fronts. Not all store fronts need to be attached to buildings. Some can be portable structures that are pop ups or part of a mobile cart system. You will need to simplify thought and detail here keeping your most intersting shapes on the focal point. Then consider "Visual Identifiers".
