So, I've been doing my reading on perspective and such, all of Perspective Made Easy and a bit from Robertson's How To Draw, and I've come across this situation in one of my commissions.
If I swiveled the chair an arbitrary amount (in this case, 45 degrees, w/e,) how do I construct the chair? In my head, I saw new converging lines, so I made a new VP, but that can't be right, not when it's so close to the other one.

Posted, no niggers were posting so late at night, figured I'd make this thread so maybe someone would actually see it.
Throw me some more literature, if I need it. been steadily working through Robertson and kekking through Loomis, but I take my time.
fuuuuuck my entire ass, that's not even the right pick. fuck I'm tired.

ever tried 2 point perspective? or 3 point perspective? possibly 4 point perspective? hell maybe try 5 point perspective? maybe have more than 1 vanishing point?
If the top half of the chair can only swivel/rotate, maybe the vanishing point of the top half would differ from the bottom half?

I practice 2 point as warm up, using the stuff from like Han and Drawabox and Robertson. 3 point is next on the list to start doing as w/u.
I suppose the root question is, can I have another vanishing point so close to the other one? Seeing as it's for a different object?

Just slide the vanishing points along the horizon line (eye level)
From Krenz's notes
>>2887565
A chair can have a new vanishing points as long as it shares the center line(horizon.)
Go to page 59 of perspective made easy. When rotating a box you move the points along with it

ffs anon. Stop trying to learn to draw from stupids books that make it more complicated than it is. Just draw the damn chair.

Also worth noting you placed the vp/horizon way too far down its up around the top of the page somewhere. Just imagine it sitting in an infinite desert and put it on the horizon
>>2887565
You're drawing a 1 point perspective drawing on a subject that's in 3 point. Which is fine if that's your goal. If not, then I'd say your horizon line is pretty low. Think of that line as YOUR eyes, and right now you're sitting on the floor, and scrunching down a bit. The photo was taken from standing height looking down. So the Horizon line is going to be higher than the frame. Also the table is 90 degrees off the wall, but the chair isn't. So the chair will have a different set of vanishing points than the table and wall. Hope it helps!

sorry, I should correct that. The Horizon line isn't necessarily your eyes because it doesn't follow where you look. I just realized how that could be confusing.

read D'Amelio's perspective book, also see if this vid helps, note the green right angle at the top.

Copy your 2pt perspective grid and move it over to the left or right, stay on the same horizon line.
Move till desired perspective. Enjoy your custom grid for your chair.
It is the method that concept artists use.
