Thanks. That was helpful. To know that a perspective drawing in architecture is pretty much the same as in regular drawing. Are there rules about the point of view or maybe customary practices? Do 3D computer programs make perspective drawing that would be acceptable for one part of a presentation to a client or to go to a planning board or zoning meeting or to be filed as part of the official plans?
Thanks again. : -)
*realistic* : manner that is easy for laypersons to understand. Perspectives can be done : freehand with a loose interpretation to the
*rules* or it may be done with : mechanics, straightedges and templates, and a strcit adherence to the :
*rules* depending on the amount of effort required. I do freehand : perspectives almost everyday and mechanical perspectives rarely anymore. : Perspectives are governed by the number of
*vanishing points*. I usually use : a
*2 point* perspective when showing the exterior of a home and a
*1 point* : perspective to illustrate a straight on view, like if one were to stand in : front of an entry porch on the front of a house. Describing the perspective : drawing process is difficult to explain, and more difficult to grasp, when : you are dealing with the written word only. So I googled this site to show : you the basic thought process behind perspective drawings. If after viewing : this site you have any additional Q's, just ask.
