Usually when you do any area or room, you'll want your vanishing
points to be off the page somehow. It's usually if you have them directly within the page and
everything gets a little bit too close together, and it can start to warp, so it's good to have them
a little bit farther off the page. Especially when you do rooms generally there's like a
corner that you're going to go towards. Let's pretend that this is the corner of the room.
More likely than not our floor probably won't be directly horizontal like this
so using the single line that we've chosen as our corner of the room again it's probably
better not to have it in the middle. You can go towards using your vanishing points. Now if you
have some kind of line tool, you can definitely use that when drawing. To get this next part of
the ceiling up, you're going to want to follow this way. Find the top point of that corner wall and
come back to these vanishing points this way. And then using the two vanishing points now
we have our floor and we have our ceiling. Because when it comes to an enclosed space,
we have the obstacle of the floor and the ceiling.
The issue that I always see a lot of people coming across is, you know, how do I fill in this space?
How do I make it look a little bit nicer, you know, organize everything? Because you're
digitally illustrating something, you have a lot of shortcuts that you can work with.
Taking advantage of these shortcuts is not cheating, it's efficiency. It's learning how to get faster!
Within digital illustration, learning these efficient points will really
really help you in the future. Something very easy that you can do, especially when it comes to
you know a room or a floor plan, what you're doing is you're laying out everything
before you actually draw it in the space. Creating a floor plan first before you do any of this is
a really fast way to draw something. So let me actually just create one real quick
We're not going to worry about this wall if the person is coming up from this side
so let's say this is our huge floor plan, right? This will kind of help us organize the space
as well, kind of figure out where everything is going to go first. Taking this floor plan
what i could actually do, is if I took
this kind of little concept that I have here,
find this corner and then warp it
warp my floor plan
to fit the perspective of this room. Based on my floor plan
you know that I've created over here, now all I really have to do
is just draw the verticals. Bring up everything from where I drew it
Of course you gotta draw stuff back towards your vanishing point as well
It's certainly a much faster alternative, you know kind of figuring out all of the objects afterwards
It's a very quick and efficient way to get your backgrounds done. Making that 2d floor plan
first and then putting it into the space is a very fast
kind of way to fill out a space very quickly, plan out how you want things to go and
it gives you a different perspective on how you want to place things in as well.
Right now I have the room just in general set up here. This looks like a
pretty big room, so I might want a larger floor plan. Let's plan in this room on another layer.
When you kind of have your floor plan layout, that's when you can take the corner
(corners) drag it around so it fits the perspective of your room!
