    down boy, stay there, no down, now stay...stay!

    I have a picture i made of four figures. Two of them standing way back in the room and another is laying down. One is close and he is bigger. Now my problem is the perspective. I have made all three of standing figures right, but the one that is down on the floor doesnt fit in the perspective. I made the porpotions correctly but he is still looks of. Does anyone know how to paint laying figures and make them look right with the perspective?

    I agree. It'd be a lot easier to help you out if we could see the image that your talking about.

    Ok, I hope you don't mind, I've done a quick paint over to explain myself.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    You have to pick another point on the horizon line to show the body at the angle you want. You could do it from the same point in the one point perspective, although picking another point makes things a bit more interesting.

    Also (I hope you don't mind a bit of constructive crit?), the horizon line is always at the eye level of the viewer. In this respect your characters are all the same height and shorter than average. Think about the height of the characters and have one of them with their eyes on the horizon line. Then slightly (or overly) vary the heights of the other characters depending on your taste. It always helps to have some variation to make a piece stand out.

     By the way, great work so far. Look forward to seeing it finished.

    Hope to have been some help to you.

    Thank you! I work hard on my pics. Thank you on correction of the picture, i have to admit, it looks way interesting now then it was before. Now, i havent got the point about the other characters eyes with the perspective. Do they have to be in the line with the perspective or not? Can you explain that please to me.

    The horizon line is sometimes known as the eye level as it is always level with the eyes of the person viewing it. That said, if you are standing looking straight ahead on a flat surface at say, the sea (the sea is a good example as it shows a flat horizon) and there is some one of the same height standing ahead of you, their eyes will be level with the horizon. It doesn't matter how close or how far from you they are. Their eyes will still be level with the horizon. In drawing, this is known as 'hanging' figures on the horizon line.

    In your drawing, the characters heads are all at the same level below the horizon line. This gives the impression that they are all of the same height an are shorter than the person viewing them (your audience). In general we take the horizon line to be an average human height.

    People are all different heights, reflect this in your drawing. It will make it more dynamic and you could use it as a way of leading the eye of the viewer to the most important points of the image.

    I hope this has made more sense to you.

    Glad to help
