  1. Math aside; the final illustration is like some wonderful Japanese woodblock. Maybe it's the proportion. Any way, it's just elegant in composition and lighting.

  2. I can't believe I'm saying this, but perspective's interesting! Thanks for the tips, Rad. That is one cool looking treehouse by the way.

  3. Great hints. When you said "Radiating lines pass through the same points on parallel lines", I had to reread what you meant a few times. I didn't realize the second line was actually scaled from the first. Great tips.

  7. Here's something you might wanna add.

    The way to break down a piece into thirds in perspective!

    Something I stumbled upon in my own studies that a LOT of teachers and even some perspective books fail to point out.

    If you draw a line through the x that halves the rectangle and the two x's that break it into fourths, you'll get lines intersecting it perfectly into thirds.

  9. Stone: it looks like you can use the same points and divide it in thirds sideways as well.
