Using Perspective
Added 2020-07-28 17:35:23 +0000 UTCSometimes, you gotta test yourself. You might just like drawing characters, but there is a joy from creating background environments that can't be beat. First off, you'll need reference if you haven't built the memory for it yet. I used streets of Hong Kong from Google maps.
Next up, you'll need to set a horizon line and vanishing points.
Vanishing points are usually far off the page. Doing it traditionally requires a long, long table. Digital is a little easier, and procreate has a great guide tool.
Most often, 2 vanishing points are all you need.
Same thing in this panel. 2 vanishing points.
Reference is essential to bringing a space to life. You'd be surprised the amount of things you'd forget to include.
This panel only needed 1 vanishing point. All other lines going horizontally or vertically are parallel. Now you can attempt fisheye perspective, but this approach is best if you're just starting out and have little experience with backgrounds.
I hope this helped a little and I hope you can go give it a try. It might be daunting at first, but once you got a sweet background, you'll get addicted to it ๐

This is great! Iโm gonna get a lot more mileage out of my iPad and Procreate thanks to this content!
