Hey art res, I'm drawing an indoor scene. I have a stage, a table and bar. The table seems way too small next to the stage, even though the table is an okay size next to the bar. The stage is (mostly) okay for normal portioned people. )I hope). My main problem is that when drawing spaces not from real life and not directly copying a photo, I can't size anything. (the table would be a foot high, the person would be eight feet, etc etc). How do I fix this without math or calculations? thank you.

Hi @dank-space-memes!

Your answer is in understanding perspective!

There are three main types!

Once you understand how these grids work, you won’t have to measure out things or copy from a photo; you can design scenes in your mind! You can also move stuff and it won’t look weird because you will see how things appear to be different sized depending how they move away from vanishing point/focal points.

Keep in mind that things farther away generally look smaller and things that are closer generally look larger to you.

One Point Perspective

Here’s a rough thumbnail of 1 point perspective:

& then an overlay with what I imagine your scene to look like.

Note, your focal point can move but you’re going to want to adjust all the radial lines!

Two Point Perspective

& now with a weird angle of the props from before:

Three Point Perspective

Basically, you have 2 point perspective but with a bird’s eye/worm’s eye view.

& now with your props:

Hope this helps! :D

If you want to help me pay for this blog, I made a premium version of this as a PSD file with all the layers so you can toggle them on and off as you please: bmc.xyz/l/perspective.

This requires a bit of initial study, but I also definitely recommend following along with some tutorials.

Here are a few favorites:

[TRANS] Early Noise 2018: Stray Kids

I.N on his favourite line from My Pace:

For me I think the lyrics from the hook, “There’s no need to rush My Pace / Don’t try to compare / It’s okay to run slowly” are the most memorable lyrics.

Seungmin and Hyunjin on their favourite tracks from I am WHO:

SM: I really like ‘Insomnia’. It reminds me of images of talking a walk at night, which I really like to do, and the track itself matches my emotions, so it’s a song I really like. HJ: Yeah, like Seungmin I also like ‘Insomnia’ the most. The song I listen to before bed is ‘Insomnia’, and I think it’s the best track to listen to with earphones in so it’s my favourite song.

Felix and Lee Know on their favourite tracks from I am WHO:

F: My favorite song in this song is our title, which is calle ‘My Pace’. The reason why is because I believe that listening to this song really helps me focus on how I wanna keep my pace, and without being rushed I can just go however I want. LN: On this album there’s a track called ‘Mixtape #2’, all nine of us composed it so when we recorded it I think we were able to input our emotions well. Maybe that’s why, but I really like that song.

HAN talks about inspiration:

When I make songs, I get a lot of inspiration from my conversations with the members, and also ]I think I gain inspiration from movies and dramas and books and the indirect experiences I get from them.

Changbin on writing their own songs:

Usually when we have schedules the three of us divide the parts and work on them. When all three of us are together we work really quickly until the guide recording is finished — we usually work really fast anyways — once the guide recording starts, it often takes a lot of work when recording so that takes a bit longer.

Woojin and Bang Chan talks about Stray Kids’ message to fans:

WJ: Our title track ‘My Pace’ has these lyrics in the chorus, “There’s no need to rush My Pace / Don’t try to compare / It’s okay to run slowly” I think it’s exactly as these lyrics say. For us, or whatever situation there is, and for fans, just there’s no need to rush, we can go at our own pace. We wanted to convey that. BC: For sure each person’s pace is different, so there’s no need to compare with others. Just at your own pace, as Woojin said you can just go. Through this title track we want to show a different side of Stray Kids, we want to show Stray Kids’ energetic side as well.

“When I was a child, girls would never wear trousers. But then women’s lib came along and they started to wear them all the time. So I figured, if women are allowed to wear trousers, men should be allowed to wear skirts. That’s liberation too, right? So I started with a kilt and realised I quite liked it. After that I tried other skirts. I now I wear them regularly. Not all the time mind you - just whenever I feel like it.

People sometimes tease me and ask why I am wearing a woman’s skirt. But look at me. I am quite clearly a man. So this is not a woman’s skirt. It’s MY skirt. It’s a man’s skirt.”
