Desenhando em perspectiva com o Illustrator

Introduction

There are two main ways to approach a perspective drawing. The first is an unmeasured system where you use vanishing points and visual reference to construct objects. The second is a more precise mathematical approach. Choosing the best starting point for your drawing has a lot to do with the information you’re starting with and the final image you’re creating. The best place to start is with the unmeasured approach, which is the focus of this tutorial.

The key feature of this system is it’s flexibility. You can use it to quickly set up a composition, or you can use it to create a detailed line drawing. Keep in mind though, this system is not the best choice if you’re final drawing is based on precise measurements, as when working from engineering drawings or blueprints.

There are many precise, mathematical systems for drafting in perspective that I will not be covering in this tutorial. For more information on one of these approaches take a look at the Visual Ray Method. Let’s take a close look at working with an unmeasured perspective system using Illustrator.

Velocidade

Xara Xtreme has the world’s most sophisticated, highest performance vector rendering engine. For the user this speed means less wait, and a more satisfying working environment. It also means more productivity and the ability to create more complex drawings, in less time.

Many graphics packages will keep you waiting a few seconds while objects are drawn on the screen. In a complex document that can mean you waste a significant amount of time. With Xara Xtreme, when you create an image it appears instantly on the screen.

Speed isn’t just restricted to creating and moving objects though – any time you manipulate an object by using one of the Direct Action Tools or the Color Editor for example, any changes you make also appear instantly. This constant live-preview of all actions contrasts dramatically with other programs where you typically have a ‘try it – wait – try it again until you get it right’ approach.

Al utilizar la herramienta de fotos integrada en Xara Xtreme puedes crear fácilmente imágenes panorámicas. El asistente de imágenes panorámicas integrado te ayudará a fusionar una foto con la siguiente a la perfección. Simplemente importa tus imágenes, optimiza la imagen de transición, y ya está. En unos pocos clics, puedes convertir tus imágenes personales en panorámicas hechas a medida.

Hello world!

En un paquete gráfico es imprescindible poder cambiar lo que has hecho. Xara Xtreme te permite deshacer fácilmente los cambios más recientes en un documento.

Esto te permite deshacerte de los cambios que has aplicado por error, los que salieron mal o los que simplemente no te gustan. ‘Deshacer’ es una herramienta muy potente cuando se combina con ‘Rehacer’, porque te da la libertad para experimentar con el dibujo y la seguridad de que siempre puedes deshacer todos los cambios.

Algunos paquetes gráficos sólo te permiten deshacer una cantidad limitada de acciones, pero Xara Xtreme tiene una capacidad ilimitada para deshacer, ya que registra todo lo que has hecho.
