Hey art res, I'm drawing an indoor scene. I have a stage, a table and bar. The table seems way too small next to the stage, even though the table is an okay size next to the bar. The stage is (mostly) okay for normal portioned people. )I hope). My main problem is that when drawing spaces not from real life and not directly copying a photo, I can't size anything. (the table would be a foot high, the person would be eight feet, etc etc). How do I fix this without math or calculations? thank you.
Once you understand how these grids work, you won’t have to measure out things or copy from a photo; you can design scenes in your mind! You can also move stuff and it won’t look weird because you will see how things appear to be different sized depending how they move away from vanishing point/focal points.
Keep in mind that things farther away generally look smaller and things that are closer generally look larger to you.
One Point Perspective
Here’s a rough thumbnail of 1 point perspective:
& then an overlay with what I imagine your scene to look like.
Note, your focal point can move but you’re going to want to adjust all the radial lines!
Two Point Perspective
& now with a weird angle of the props from before:
Three Point Perspective
Basically, you have 2 point perspective but with a bird’s eye/worm’s eye view.
& now with your props:
Hope this helps! :D
If you want to help me pay for this blog, I made a premium version of this as a PSD file with all the layers so you can toggle them on and off as you please: bmc.xyz/l/perspective.
This requires a bit of initial study, but I also definitely recommend following along with some tutorials.

For aligning people with a horizon, consider this handy advice from the legendary Andrew Loomis. His books are in the public domain, like Figure Drawing For All It’s Worth

Two paintings I did for Ittoki Day (10/01/2019) and Polaris’ 3rd university (13/01/2019). I still enjoy this style quite a lot.
