Description
A perspective of the human body seen from intense angles. Something close up and personal is implied by drawing something that's so "inside your bubble". There's a few other examples of this that I wanted to put in but didn't have room. If I can think of a few more I may make a supplementary piece.Related content

Nice tutorial about the human perspective. This might help me up since I only learn perspective about buildings, but not humans. So thank you for sharing this.

I love this. You're really good.
But, I don't really understand the focal point and how to use a reference point for bodies. (I'm barely used to doing it with buildings)

The focal point is really just pinned on what the star of the pose is. Those times where I've said "focal point!" and pointed at the hands are because that's what I want the viewer to concentrate on in the pose. If you had someone laying on their back with a foot in the air and the view was looking straight down at them the focal point would probably be the foot. Like I'd be making a point of shoving it in your face so you can't ignore it.
The point of reference refers to the invisible beginning of lines shooting outwards in a cartoon sun ray effect. They start in the middle and span out, like in the example at the top right of the tutorial. I made the reference point the knees because that was the body part that was furthest away while still being about to see it (it probably would have been the feet if they had made it into the picture). From there I used the outward expanding reference lines to gradually make the body bigger, like it was getting closer. The legs may look a little out of place since they don't get small as they are guided to the centre of the reference point, but that's because their were the same distance the whole time. The knee is paralel with the hip resulting in equal thickness. If it's not further away then it won't be smaller.

Oh okay. I thought it was a very specific point that I had to follow. (like the vanishing point, for example)
And hmm, that sorta clears it up. And I'm guessing with this knowledge also just comes lots of practice to get it right. Hehe ^^
