3. Apply the knowledge of shading to push the three-dimensional look by using colored pencils

Two point perspective students' examples

What Is Perspective?

Perspective is a method of drawing objects on a two-dimensional surface to give the right impression of height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other.

What is Linear perspective?

There are many types of perspective drawing. Linear perspective refers to using a set of rules that guide a drawing’s lines towards various vanishing point(s). This converging of lines is what helps an artist achieve the illusion of depth within a drawing.

There are 3 main types of Linear perspective drawing:

1 point perspective

2 point perspective

What is the two-point perspective?

2 point perspective shows objects from a corner view. Draw the object/character from a corner view with left decreasing towards the left and the right decreasing towards the right.

Theme( title): My musical life

Big idea: I enjoy playing music on piano and cello, and I love mixing and improving the music. In other words, music plays an important part in my life, especially as a creative process. I also love listening to music in my free time to relieve stress and rejuvenate my life.

Great artwork, but ... need to crop off the unnecessary background
