Photoshop Perspective tutorial- Batmobile

Jokerman · Mar 16, 2012

This is Jokerman here, and I'm posting my first guide. It's about single point perspective.

so lets begin...

What is Perspective?
"Perspective (from Latin perspicere, to see through) in the graphic arts, such as drawing, is an approximate representation, on a flat surface (such as paper), of an image as it is seen by the eye. The two most characteristic features of perspective are that objects are drawn:

* Smaller as their distance from the observer increases
* Foreshortened: the size of an object's dimensions along the line of sight are relatively shorter than dimensions across the line of sight"

Credit~ Wikipedia.

Basically, that's what perspective it- objects closer to you appear larger than those behind it. Simple, eh? but I find many new artists not using perspective in their drawings.

I'll probably do a guide on 2,3 & 4 point perspective next. And Maybe curved perspective afterward.

(sorry for the huge images. )

btw, the images are self explanatory. If you are still confused then I'll explain further.

(this tutorial is divided into parts, since it is quite big.

If the images are too large for you, then you can zoom out by pressing (Ctrl & - ).

THE BASICS-

Step 1: Think of what you want to draw. To begin with, you'd want to draw cubical/cuboid resembling things since their edges are straight.
In this tutorial, I'll be drawing the Batmobile.
