\"5pointballBW\"<\/a>A handy time saver when working in analog or digital mode, is to lay in under your art, a perspective grid to follow when drawing objects in space!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve made and used many over the years. To the right is one I found on google, looked up the site credited but it’s malwared and gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those below were copied from transparencies printed on mylar for use at the Animation studio my mother, and later I worked at. I used them on a light table to save time working things out. Especially lets you off the hook for vanishing points and horizon lines off the page\/paper-the main theme behind this set. Feel free to download them for your own use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some simple methods to drawing out one by hand, I’m working on a set of clips about that. But it’s a time intensive job. These days there’s some good digital tools to do the job faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe the easiest trick of them all, is to install sets of perspective grid brushes for photoshop, like this one<\/a> by by<\/span> adammiconi<\/a> on deviantart<\/a>! [Remember photoshop CS2 is free now<\/a>] I really like this, one click and presto. There are a few sets there to install! Probably more to be found elsewhere on the net<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

This simple stand alone app called Carapace<\/a>, lets you make very dynamic multi point grids and export them, and import photos to use as a guide\/baseline to create them with too. It’s a bit tricky to get the hang of at first but once you do, pretty easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second clip I’m going to embed in this post <\/a>is a simple tutorial for a method of using the shape tool to make grids right in photoshop<\/a>! This method is very handy either for print or digital work, and if you keep your shapes un-rasterized and in layers as a PSD or Tiff file you can modify it later as you need!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
