Perspective Rocket Insanity
























This is one of my favorite Perspective drawings I did. From a technical stand point I'm really happy with how this turned out. The rocket and tower are both the same height, (five units.) The wings protrude from the middle fifth, and have a total wing span of three fifths.. The bottom fifth of the rocket is cot off to allow for the exhaust. The rocket has lifted one fifth off the launch pad.   

Sadly though I think most of that is all lost on viewers. To most they just see a rocket taking off. What's cool about the drawing is the construction and the process that goes into it. Because of this, I think leaving hints of the construction obvious actually makes it a better drawing. I actually increased the saturation on this one to make the red and blue construction lines stand out more.
