Sky angle of view
What is the first thing to think about when drawing the sky? Is it time zone? Is it a cloud shape? Or is it a placement?
Even if you say that it is quite easy to draw the sky, you can think of various sky. Sometimes it looks like a magnificent sky, and there is a sky that looks like an interesting cloud cut out.
So what do you need to think first when drawing such a sky?
To start drawing, you need to consider the balance and theme of the character and background, but you also need to consider the angle of view of the lens.
Select a lens when moving a landscape with the camera. If you don't have a lens, you can't move the landscape with the camera. So you have to consider the lens.
The human eye also has a lens called a crystalline lens. Taking pictures of the sky taking into account the angle of view of the lens can also be applied to the technique of drawing the sky as it is. This time it is a story of the sky angle of view.
Lens type
There are basically standard, wide-angle and telephoto lenses. The way the sky appears depends on the type of lens.
Wide angle lens
A wide-angle lens can move a wide range. Since the wide range is shown, the vanishing points on the left and right are close. Because of that, a lot of clouds are reflected and you can make a dramatic performance.
The cloud shape is distorted into a barrel shape. Is the sky often surrounded by clouds around the moon? If you want to draw like this, you should use a wide-angle lens.
In the case of a wide-angle lens, the left and right vanishing points are closer to the frame.
So it's a depiction that makes Perth tight. Certainly it is possible to draw cool, but if it is an ultra-wide-angle lens, it is beyond the range that humans can see.
Do not overuse it too much. For example, you will get drunk if all the backgrounds of anime and movies are wide-angle lenses.
Standard lens
The standard lens is the closest to the human eye so it doesn't take excessive perspective. So you can see it naturally.
Such a picture is also in the shape of a cloud that doesn't feel strange. With the standard lens, the two vanishing points are at a reasonable distance. So the way to parse is gentle.
Telescope lens
With a telephoto lens, the left and right vanishing points are separated from the frame, so it does not take much perspective. As a result, the sense of perspective disappears and only a narrow range can be captured. However, since the subject matter can be clarified, it is possible to produce an impressive scene.
This lens is often used in movies and animations. The focal lengths of the two points are far apart. So you can not feel the depth.
This will require a lot of composition to describe.
Important point
Character and lens don't match. If the character is a standard lens and the sky is a super wide angle, you will still feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it is a good idea to consider the type of lens to be used at the stage before starting the first drawing or at the stage of rough drawing. Think about the type of lens, such as wide-angle sky and background if the character is wide-angle.
If the character is telephoto, make the background telephoto. It ’s like that.
Then you can create a screen that does not feel strange.
Basically, you can think of a wide-angle lens as viewed from the near side, and a telephoto lens as viewed from a distance. If you are writing as if you are looking at the character from near, the background will be a wide-angle lens.
Summary
What did you think. Even if you say empty, the way to draw is exactly the same as studying camera lenses. It ’s a good idea to think about which lens to use in the first rough stage of drawing.
You may also be confused about the type of lens. When you actually shoot with the camera, you will be able to get that feeling.
It would be nice to have one camera for practice.
