Drawing 3D, like any intellectual action, very good training and “gymnastics” for the brain. A diversified brain in any direction works more efficiently. Learning to draw 3D drawings, you will train your brain, and the brain will last you longer. Your brain will remain clarity and health longer.
ByВ drawing 3D drawings, you will postpone the meeting ofВ your Alzheimer, Parkinson and other older satellites for several years.
Drawing a 3D picture on the pavement is also good physical education. Drawing a 3D drawing on the pavement, you have to squat a lot. After drawing my first 3D drawings, my leg muscles were very sore. With a noticeable effort, I sat down and got up from my chair. But constantly drawing, “training”, squatting, the leg muscles got used to the loads and stopped hurting.
Errors inВ 3D drawing
About how many wonderful discoveries weВ have
Prepares an Enlightened Spirit
And outliving the son ofВ ERRORS is difficult
And the genius ofВ the paradoxes is different.

Having analyzed the perspective errors in 3D drawings, I realized one interesting thing. Parsing perspective errors is much more complicated and longer than drawing the same picture with the correct perspective. Therefore, do not be alarmed by this chapter. Do not be alarmed by these “complex” schemes. This chapter is much more complicated than 3D drawing lessons. Learning how to draw the right perspective is much easier than seeing and understanding the errors of the wrong perspective.
Drawing 3D drawings, IВ made aВ lot ofВ mistakes. Even after IВ drew about thirty 3D drawings, IВ was mistaken again and again. On the Internet, IВ sometimes encounter perspective errors inВ 3D drawings byВ other artists.
My mistakes, mistakes ofВ other artists, and encouraged me toВ write this course on building the perspective ofВ 3D drawing.
The course will be useful to experienced artists who draw 3D drawings. Since I have seen mistakes in building perspectives, even among experienced artists. I am familiar with some of these artists. I hope they don’t take offense at me if they recognize their drawings.
All the errors ofВ other artists that IВ found do not say that IВ consider myself the smartest or the most talented among all the artists who draw 3D drawings.
IВ participated inВ the international street art festival Internationales Street Art Festival inВ Wilhelmshaven (WHV) northern Germany.
www.streetart-wilhelmshaven.de (https://ridero.ru/link/T5C4El7x-jVQAm)
The festival was attended byВ 38В artists. InВ my humble opinion, IВ did not even take the 38th place, but approximately 70В or 80th place. The drawings ofВ all other artists were much better made than my drawing.
I do not describe the mistakes of others in order to rise above those who are mistaken. I do this only in order to teach those who want to draw the perspective (geometry) of a 3D drawing correctly on my own and others’ mistakes.

Like any creative person, IВ am not unambiguous inВ criticism. Here, IВ myself am forced toВ act as aВ critic.
BUT! I do not criticize the artistic merits and demerits of the drawings. I criticize only the prospect. Artistic qualities cannot be evaluated objectively. As they say – They don’t argue about tastes. One likes one, the other likes the other.
In this chapter, I criticize only the wrong perspective of 3D drawings. Perspective is geometry. Geometry is a branch of mathematics – the queen of sciences. Geometry has laws, and these laws are not subjective, they are objective. The laws of geometry do not depend on tastes. The laws of geometry do not depend on whether you know these laws or not. The laws of perspective do not depend on whether you like these laws or not. The laws of geometry do not change from whether you draw according to these laws or draw without observing the laws of perspective (geometry).
There are exceptions toВ perspective laws. An exception is the reverse perspective on some icons inВ Byzantine and Old Russian icon painting. Rather, this is not even an exception, but aВ rare special case based on the peculiarities ofВ human perception ofВ aВ part ofВ space very close toВ the eyes. But! ToВ make exceptions, you better know the rules.
In order not to violate copyright laws, I will not use photographs of other people’s drawings in the book. Of course, the most striking “mistakes” will be hard not to recognize. But most of the drawings with errors in the future, it will not be easy to find out. I outlined only the contours of the erroneous details of these figures. I redrawn, preserving the distortion of perspective that I noticed in these figures. Without retaining most of the details, and even slightly changing the picture.
The essence ofВ this chapter is not toВ indicate toВ aВ particular artist his mistakes. The essence ofВ this chapter is toВ show the most common mistakes inВ building the perspective ofВ 3D drawings.
So, let’s begin. Let’s start with the obvious mistakes. I hope everyone sees these errors. It is strange that the artists themselves did not see them.
But! This is apparently a feature of 3D drawing. Or a feature of the brain’s perception of a 3D pattern. I also saw many of my mistakes only the next day, and even two days after I drew the picture. Apparently, this is how the human brain works. When I wrote this book, I did not immediately see my mistakes in the illustrations. Sometimes I noticed errors in the illustrations in a day or two, with a fresh mind. I corrected some illustrations from 3 to 5 times. I corrected it after I decided that this was no longer a draft, but a complete illustration. No wonder there is a saying – Good thinking, comes afterwards. This saying illustrates very well the process of finding errors in a 3D drawing.
Besides. It may well be that all the “mistakes” I noticed by other artists, not mistakes at all. Perhaps all of these drawings were so conceived. Artists (I know for myself) are a peculiar people, and they love everything unusual. Perhaps this is such an artistic device? Maybe all the “mistakes” I saw are a kind of surrealism, intentional distortions of perspective (geometry), or such a vision of artists. And I just did not understand their plan, and took this for a mistake?
It may also be that the customer chose the photo for the drawing, and insisted on that particular photo, the customer was the buyer. And the buyer, as is always known, is RIGHT.
The customer does not always understand what will happen if aВ photograph with inappropriate shooting conditions (inappropriate perspective, geometry) is simply transferred toВ the drawing. AВ photograph taken at aВ different angle, or taken from aВ different distance, cannot be correctly transferred toВ the drawing. Definitely will be visible distortion inВ perspective.
Itself faced a similar situation. I was once offered to draw something like that. I refused. I can’t draw if the result is an obvious and very noticeable error in perspective, in the geometry of the drawing.
Perhaps, and even for certain, the mistakes ofВ perspective, not all viewers will see or notice. But you must admit, it is better toВ draw without errors than toВ hope that not everyone sees the mistakes ofВ perspective.
The most common mistake that IВ saw was the incorrect construction ofВ the perspective ofВ the picture. One ofВ the signs ofВ such errors is the discrepancy between the horizon ofВ the site and the horizon ofВ the drawn 3D drawing. Simply put, we look at aВ drawing from one angle, and the photograph (from which painted) was taken from aВ different angle.
Such perspective errors are obtained because many artists draw a 3D drawing without building a projection according to the laws of perspective. They transfer the drawing on the asphalt in the cells from the photograph, or from their preliminary sketch. From a photograph taken from a different angle, or from a different distance. From a sketch that is also drawn “by eye”, and not by a method of constructing a projection according to the laws of perspective.
In order for the 3D drawing made from the photograph to work out correctly, the distance to the object and the angle of shooting of this object must absolutely exactly coincide with the viewer’s angle of view of the drawn 3D drawing, and with the distance from the viewer to the drawing. But this is not always the case. This condition is very difficult to observe if you don’t know from what distance and at what angle the object that you want to draw from this photograph is photographed.
If you want toВ draw from aВ photograph. It is possible toВ avoid mistakes inВ the perspective ofВ the picture only if you yourself are photographing the object you need. If you are photographing an object from that distance, and at the angle from which the 3D drawing will be viewed and photographed.
If the shooting angle ofВ the photo does not coincide with the angle ofВ view inВ the 3D drawing, distortion ofВ perspective is obtained. If the distance from which the subject was photographed does not coincide with the distance from which the picture is photographed, distortion ofВ perspective is obtained.
InВ order not toВ make such mistakes, it is advisable toВ draw aВ 3D drawing, having previously built the projection according toВ the laws ofВ perspective (geometry). How toВ build aВ projection correctly, IВ will explain it inВ detail and inВ detail, and show you step byВ step inВ this course.
What should IВ do if the customer ofВ the picture insists on aВ certain photo, or if the artist himself likes aВ certain photo and the photo has an inappropriate perspective? You can preconstruct aВ projection ofВ objects with the correct perspective, and then superimpose on this projection, details and texture ofВ the photo or sketch.
InВ everything else, except for the perspective, the drawings cited as an example are well drawn (inВ my humble opinion).
Parsing errors
Not does error, he who does nothing.
В В В В Proverb.
The first example.
This is my drawing from a photograph of a 3D drawing of a watch. I didn’t distort the watch like that; it looks exactly like that in the photograph. It may very well be that there are similar oblate, vertically compressed watches, with a dial in the form of an ellipse. Watches with different sizes of numbers. Personally, I have not seen such a watch. Perhaps such a distortion of the clock was conceived in the plot of the picture. Perhaps this is just such an artistic device. Perhaps I do not know and did not understand the plan, or the plot.
I “saw” the error in building the perspective in this figure, and decided to make out why the clock could have turned out to be of such an “irregular” shape. For me, this is one of the good examples where you can parse the perspective errors of a 3D drawing.
This watch is beautifully painted inВ terms ofВ painting. Colors, shadows, highlights, reflections, all is well! BUT! With very large violations ofВ perspective (geometry).
The picture is probably made from aВ photograph. Perhaps the photo was not stretched vertically, or not squeezed horizontally toВ make the dial look like aВ circle.
InВ the left picture is the original.
InВ the right picture.
It was this pattern ofВ watches that IВ stretched vertically and squeezed horizontally. Made the dial look more like aВ circle. Even inВ this case, the correct, normal perspective (geometry) ofВ the picture does not work out. The watch seems toВ be standing on one left (for us) leg and tilted (falling) towards the viewer.
Why, inВ my humble opinion, such aВ mistake was made.
If the subject is photographed from the top point, then inВ the figure it will look as if we are looking at it from above. But! We look at the drawing on the asphalt not vertically from above, but almost horizontally from the side. The photograph ofВ the clock byВ which this picture was drawn was not taken at the same angle from which viewers look at the clock pattern.
This figure shows why such aВ distortion ofВ the perspective ofВ the picture occurs.
InВ the picture toВ the left.
The angle and distance from the clock toВ the camera while taking aВ preliminary photo. InВ the photograph on which the drawing was drawn, the clock is photographed almost vertically from above, from aВ short distance. About the small distance between the clock and the camera, says aВ big difference inВ the sizes ofВ the numbers 12В andВ 6. InВ the picture toВ the right.
The angle and distance from the picture toВ the camera while shooting the picture. InВ the drawing, viewers look and take pictures, almost from aВ horizontal direction, but see the clock as if they were looking at the clock from above. Therefore, there are similar distortions ofВ the perspective (geometry) ofВ the 3D drawing.
