How to draw an illustration of small objects using two-point perspective
Draw a rough sketch
Think about what kind of illustration you want to draw, and draw a rough sketch.
Set the drawing guide
Select “Action” -> “Drawing Guide” -> “Edit Drawing Guide” to create a two-point perspective guide.
Draw the groundwork
While considering the design, draw a square.
In order to get the handles, etc. out of the middle of the square, the diagonals are connected and the middle is divided.
Draw a line from there to draw the handle.
Adding a pen
The transparency of the underlying layer is reduced to make it easier to draw.
Draw a detailed design to complete the small item illustration!
Using the division method introduced previously, the image is divided into three parts.
Other designs are drawn such as hand-held parts, detailed decorations, and scratches.
When the detailed design is done, you’re done! Make the surroundings thicker to give it the feel of a game illustration. Also, adding shadows will give it a three-dimensional look.
Illustrations of other accessories
Other crystal chests are drawn in the same way.
Please check the video for the crystal chests.
