How To Draw Distorted Perspective

How To Draw Distorted Perspective

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

I am taking a break in August, but I selected a bunch of videos from the archive this month.

In today's video, let's look at foreshortening; the distorting that we see, when things are in perspective and overlapping. It can be very confusing and even a little bit scary. Today, I will model for you and together we will look at ways to use negative spaces and lights and darks and to trust our eyes.

Materials used:
-Seawhite of Brighton A3 Sketchbook
-Caran d’Ache Luminance colored pencil, color: violet


PS. If you didn't already get your hands on a copy of my book "life is better when you draw it", go here: https://www.koosjekoene.com/book
