I’ve been working on my “grid” this morning. (the pic is a bit messy right now) I may have discovered a little tip, although architects would probably laugh at it as they probably use it all the time (!)…
I used a compass to draw my circle. Used a ruler to divide it into quarters. And used the compass again to mark "longitude " lines so that they would be evenly spaced at the top bottom and middle, using my 1/4 markings to determine that middle of the longitude. So… where i marked the top of a line, i measured with the compass how far that was to the middle vertical line where it crossed the circle, and used that setting to mark my other three marks around the circle. Then I connected the “dots”. Turn your paper 90 degrees and do the same.
Great! I was hoping that this would be covered. Can’t wait for the lesson to be uploaded. When I was doing the perspective lessons on 25 Days course I woke at 2am wondering about what 4 point perspective would be. I went back to sleep happy that it was a thing. It’s like the fisheye lens on a camera.
Okay, I have caught up with Ashley for the convex drawing. I have been working through the “25 days to better drawing” course as well. I will keep posting as we go, but I usually watch live then go back and draw. If I try to keep up, I usually feel rushed and may miss some detail or critical comments. I tend to zone out when drawing and focus on what I am doing. I cant wait to tackle this challenge.
Good for you! I am a little intimidated by this one. I will try it eventually, but want to watch more lessons first. I can’t watch them live, but catch up eventually. Good luck!
