What is "Manga Perspective"?

It is one of the settings for 3D drawing figures, a function that makes a part of the body appear larger than usual. The perspective of the 3D space (background) remains as it is, allowing you to apply a unique perspective only to the figure model. This time, I will introduce how to draw impactful poses and compositions by using this "Manga Perspective" in concept art.

Layout

First, decide on the concept.

This time, I chose "Idol Stage" as the theme.

 

 

 

1) Placement of the Background (3D Space)

For the background, I am using the 3D object material "Dance Stage 01".

2) Importing the 3D Drawing Figure

By dragging the 3D drawing figure while the "Dance Stage 01" layer is selected, you can place the drawing figure on the same perspective as the background.

 

*The perspective is displayed when you click the ruler icon on the layer.

3) Consider the Angle and Pose the Figure.

Specify the camera angle from the presets.

Check the icon enclosed in red.

Pose the figure.

4) Check "Manga Perspective"

Select the model layer and open the Tool Property palette.

There is an item called "Manga Perspective", so check it.

The perspective now emphasizes the front left hand.

You can adjust the size using numerical values.

I tried to think of a few patterns.

Tip

*This is an EX version feature, but by using the LT Conversion of the layer, lines and shadows become clear, making it easier to do rough sketches.

With that, the layout is complete.

Deciding the perspective and shadows at an early stage makes drawing rough sketches much easier, so please make use of it.

Thank you for reading this far.
