Why do people go balls deep into learning perspective when you

>>2964665
Some are just stupid, others want to do more intricate drawings that look convincing so they put a lot of work into mastering perspective.

some people like doing more intricate scenes.

You are essentially asking why people go balls deep into drawing when you can get away with a lot less.

Perspective isn't an aspect of drawing. Perspective IS drawing.

Why the fuck care about perspective when you can just draw like pic related?

God damn why strive for mastery at all?

Yes without perspective your guys will look like strawmen

History painter: all of them plus a lot more

Why aren't you a history painter?

>>2964737 oh

>>2964665
just say perspective is hard and you can't into 3-points, don't try and bait /ic/ into telling you how easy it is and how useful it is, just ask man.

>>2965084
3-point wouldn't be good for full, large compositions like OP posted. In this way, the vertical elements in the painting like the pillars would be parallel to the picture frame and whatever vertical elements outside of the picture frame. 3-point perspective isn't so hard on a small scale. Doing a large and full painting, for which you have to account for the spectator in front of it, in 2-point is still more challenging.

>>2964846
yes construction

>>2965060
but the perspective is shit

there is notion of up, down, everything looks like it's on the horizontal line

OP is right. If you can draw boxes in perspective then that's literally all you need to know.

Scott Robertson-tier perspective is for autism tier niche drawings.

People go balls deep into learning perspective because the challenge of perspective isn't setting up the vanishing points, but to be able to think about each and every object in a scene 3 dimensionally. Like the painting you posted, the challenge obviously isn't drawing those simple geometric buildings in perspective, but to draw each figure on the proper ground plane and be able to foreshorten and place them in 3D space even when they don't follow the same vanishing points as the buildings.

>>2964665
Learning perspective indepth gives you an appreciation for drawing that is on a completely different level

What do you learn in in-depth perspective?

The same things you learn when you study perspective superficially. Mastery of perspective isn't learning super secret and complicated techniques, but rather getting really confident at all the simple concepts that are easy to understand in a vacuum, but challenging to apply in practice.

It's the difference between some noobie doing a perfectly proper perspective grid and then carefully drawing some blocky houses that all align perfectly to the same vanishing points vs a veteran artist doing some dynamic and playful freehand scene with figures, objects and architecture foreshortening all over the place towards multiple eyeballed vanishing points..

It's a simple composition tool. Anything higher than 2 vanishing points over complicates a composition. We have the technology to more easy use perspective in a less rigid way, so go for it if you desire it.

>>2965084
it isn't hard AND it isn't useful for art purposes unless you plan on becoming the next Escher

>>2965159
don't even bother. these neckbeards don't give a shit about actually becoming competent artists.they just want to complain about everything being too difficult, not having talent, not having motivation, and hating on people who are popular and making money from their art.

Because 4chan attracts the kind of analytical programmer minded people who think you have to invent the universe to make a pie from scratch.

There is also fish eye 4 point perspective as well as nested 3 point perspectives, etc
