Method and System for Creating True Perspective Drawings and Drawings Created by Same

Abstract

A method and system for creating perspective drawings on a preferably curved drawing surface. An easel and a drawing surface are provided. The artist securely positions his head at a central point relative to the drawing surface and looks past an edge of the drawing surface at an object to be drawn, thereby creating an illusion of a transparent margin of the drawing surface overlapping the object. The object is then traced onto the transparent margin of the drawing surface. The traced-upon margin is cut off and removed from the drawing surface, thereby creating a new transparent margin. These steps are repeated on the new transparent margin until all of the drawing surface is used. The cut-up pieces of the drawing surface are reassembled to form a complete image. The easel includes structure that allows the artist to position an eye at the center point of the drawing surface.

       20 . A true perspective curved-surface manual drawing, comprising: a drawing surface having a radially symmetric curvature about a center point made initially of substantially flat surface elements which, when assembled, form said concave drawing surface, said concave drawing surface being drawn upon one side margin strip at a time, said side margin strip being removed from said drawing surface upon completion of the drawing on that strip to create a new side margin,
 wherein when the entire drawing surface is removed and drawn upon as strips, said removed side margin strips are reassembled to form said curved surface manual drawing.   
   
   
       21 . A true perspective curved-surface manual drawing according to  claim 20 , wherein the artist drawing upon said side margin strips positions his eye at said center point of said drawing surface. 
   
   
       22 . A true perspective curved-surface manual drawing according to  claim 21 , wherein, in forming said drawing, the artist looks past said drawing surface to the object being drawn, thereby forming a transparent margin of said drawing surface overlapping the object and upon which the object is traceable.
