Carl Dobsky’s 1 Point Perspectice

In the first section of this download, Carl takes the viewer through three perspective setups. In the first, he shows the viewer how to
set up a basic square grid in perspective while covering such topics as the station point, measuring points, picture plane, and the cone of vision. In the second setup Carl covers the concepts of the measure bar and anchor point in order to create a cube in a precise location in pace. Lastly, the viewer is shown how to take an elevation view and project into 3D space.

In the second portion, Carl takes a simple thumbnail sketch and fleshes it out into a finished picture. In doing so, he expands upon many of the techniques in the first section. While watching this video, the viewer will see how a professional artist applies the rules of linear perspective to fit the specific needs of a painting. This download works for both beginners as well as professionals in need of a refresher.

In the second part of this series, Carl Dobsky covers two-point perspective and inclined planes. He begins by showing the viewer how to make a square grid in two-point perspective. Next he constructs a cube, and then he proceeds to show how to create multiple objects at different rotations in space. Dobskinator also explains the concept of a vanishing trace to show how to construct objects that don’t lay flat on the ground plane. Finally, Monsieur Dobsky takes all of the abstract lessons and uses them to create a finished painting.
