What number of vanishing points are used for what type of art?
When I am drawing
How many vanishing points should I use?
By the way I have learnt upto 3 vanishing points.

#

Vanishing Points

#

And
Vanishing points also mess with how I want to draw
For example lets assume
I want to draw a cube with its back facing a certain way but the vanishing point says
"Na bro, all of the shapes backs will be facing towards me"
I thought about that and came up with the solution to place the vanishing point where I want that cube's back to be facing.
But then if I draw another cube the same problem comes back!

this is, perspective basics, it's hard to explain you need to study it correctly.

#

this might be, at least to me, the most important fundamental

#

once you master this, you won't see flat stuff anymore.

#

plus, it's mostly theory, just relax and read/watch stuff.

#

it affects everything, buildings, faces, apples, whatever

It is a sample clip

#

I watched it

#

And both of my question remain

#

well the thing is... vanishing points IS perspective, if you knew about this you wouldn't be wondering this, one, two, three, fish eye, there's NOT a number of vanishing points because you can do whatever you want, you can do any kind of perspective, in any kind of drawing you want, you are free to do anything, you are the artist.

But I cannot decide

#

How many points to use

#

And then also this problem:

I reiterate, you need to study it, the way you speak means you don't have the basics yet, vanishing points aren't an issue, you work with them, not against them, you can do a portrait in 1 point, 2 point, 3 point, fish eye OR even without, modifying and curving everything, it's not architect stuff all the time, research it a little, it's not something that should stop you from drawing stuff

There’s infinite possible vanishing points. It all depends on what youre drawing and how many objects facing different ways

I think you should ask yourself what type of artist you want to be. For instance, if you want to be an industrial artist, you should master perspective, focus on form follows function, and be as precise as possible. However, if you aim to be an illustrator or concept artist, precision is less critical. You should still understand perspective well enough for your work to look correct, but don't be overly concerned with precision.

By the way, in concept art, some roles require precision while others do not.
