  5. Kevin,

    Can you explain a little bit about that perspective method? I've seen it only one other time and I'm not sure I get how it's done. Is it as simple as using a drafting ruler and measuring out, at the level horizon line, an equidistant scale on one side to a different equidistant scale on the other?

    It looks like the answer to drawing large without having to have vanishing points six feet from each other.

    Is it applicable to 3-point perspective as well?

    Thanks.

  6. You're right, Shane. The perspective guide lines that are coming in from the left side would have converged at a vanishing point off of the surface of my drawing table so I just measured out (and numbered) those tick marks.

    There's no math involved in establishing the space between the ticks. I ruled a couple of sample lines, based on my rough pencils and measured the space between them. The ticks on the left are 1/2" apart and their corresponding units on the right are 5/8". I put numbers on them -- counting up from the vanishing point -- just to avoid connecting the wrong ticks.

    For the lines coming in from the right, I used a traditional vanishing point but made a notation ("14.25") on the horizon line in the lower right corner so that I could find it again after I removed the paper from the board.

    It would probably come in very handy for 3-point perspective as well.
