Perspective 6: Referencing & Measuring in 2 Point

Artist and veteran instructor, Erik Olson begins by discussing the concepts and content of Lectures 01-05 in the context of now having experienced and drawn with them as an artist. This Lecture then proceeds with demonstrating 2 point perspective with both “in picture methods” which are estimating foreshortened space, as well as “fully measured” perspective.

Hi,

I have a question about diagram 52.

If in fact the 45 degree is where you put it, doesn’t it mean that the picture will be distorted because most of it will be out of the cone of vision? (30 degree from each side of the mid point)?
