Arvind’s got a great video over at DrivenMavens detailing a technique that includes drawing what you see and NOT what you think you know. The technique forces Designers and Artists to reference photographs and real-life situations, purposefully forgetting what we are taught to know about perspective, to get an image to look and feel correct.
Case in point: in real life, we know that everything falls in 3-point perspective. Normally that’s how we draw. For basic Design this is a great start. Photographs, on the other hand, add in an element of fish eye, vantage point, and even emotion that you just can’t capture while looking at a car in a parking lot. By using these as reference, we can better create more emotionally impactful images.
