Best way to draw a perspective drawing?

[kjs]

What would be the best/easiest way to map out a perspective drawing in Affinity? Just the pen tool and draw it out manually?

[Lee D]

Affinity Designer has the Grid and Snapping Axis Manager, here you can setup the grid how you want it to be laid out. You can then start your drawing using the tools available. Mesh Warp and Perspective Distortion tools are on Designers roadmap and will be added in the future.

As Lee D says, using a grid is the best way.

 

In fact, Serif have produced some excellent videos about this, which may help. You didn't say Photo or Designer and the videos are for Designer but they work the same in Photo.

Hi oceanpearls,

If you mean perspective drawing (two point, three point perspective etc) there's currently no tools/features to help with this. You have to draw everything manually.

For axonometric projections check the Grid and Snapping Axis Manager (Advanced mode) as Lee suggested to set up grids for different types of projections.

Are there any chances that tools aiding perspective drawing will be added in photo and designer? It would be quite helpful. In PS I usually “take” horizon line from ruler and do vanishing points by hexagon.
