I like the 3 point perspective, I also like using it when drawing scrapers;) The thing drawn is also very spectacular;) But I prefer another style of drawing, a bit softer, more "artistic" and less "perfect" if You know what I mean;) And this <--- is also my style.

But still- Your drawing is really great!! Congratulations

That's amazing! There's alot of detail put into it and it's from a unique perspective.

Around how long did it take to make the drawing?

MiCH

I think it took me about 6 hours, spread out over one month.

They are very good! This one and the other one of the first page is amazing!

Thanks..!

I thought I'd try something new...this perspective, which I like to call stretched 3-point, is hard...there are 3 vanishing points, all placed on the horizon. Drawing lines towards the one in the middle is easy, but you can't do that with the ones on both sides. Those lines bend a little, so my ruler can't help me with that. It creates a cool panorama effect though.


Here's a preview..

And this is where I got the idea...see how it's bent?

Well done Mich, how long did it take you to do that?

Im currently doing a similar sort of project, where I am designing the entire city (or atleast the downtown section), along with graphics for local companies and transport infrastructure. Im a graphic designer, so Im going to fill a whole portfolio for this project.

Really cool! We want more! :D
I used to draw cities like these when I was younger... Although not nearly as good as these. And I did 'em all in 1-point perspective. How does this 3-point perspective work?

It's really easy, you just place 2 vanishing points on the horizon and one pretty far below, right in the middle. And then the rooftop lines point towards the two horizon vanishing points and the vertical lines to that other one. Easy enough right.

@ MiCH, no thanks for the side-note....

I want both of your drawings in a poster-company asap!

(but I could pay you a visit in Rotterdam one day... visiting Pro-Logic will be much harder :P)

btw: do you study Architecture or what MiCH?
