Here's how to a cartoon like this: The first step is to splash the pencil drawing with a 0.7 / 2B Here's my process for this panel ... The first step is sketching the layout with a 0.7 mm/2B pencil
is a perspective three-point escape, no problem for the two points along the horizon, while I can not fix the third, along the 'vertical axis, because it falls too far from the design and even the drawing board. In these cases, if you want to be precise, it is better to resort to a grid. Years ago I asked a dear friend, Eng. Mr. Blond , if he could solve this technical problem: how to quickly draw a grid propsettica that adapts to the original sketch, and then define it in good detail. The next day gave me this Mr.Blond soluzione, empirica ed efficace...
that's a 3 vanishing points perspective, no problem here for the ones along the horizon, but in this case, however, it's impossible to trace the vertical vanishing point because it falls so far from the panel that the drawing board is just too small... A good way out is to trace a perspective grid instead.
Many years ago I asked a dear friend of mine, engineer Mr.Blond , if he could solve the problem for me - how to trace quickly that grid. He thought about it and the next day he came out with this process ...
Respecting the perspective outlined in the sketch drawing the vertical axis and an inclined line near the edge of the sticker, then I measure the segments A and B and do the report:
Starting from my sketch, I draw an That inclined line fits the perspective I want, then I measure with a ruler the A & B segments and calculate the B / A ratio:

then join the notch and voila
next: I join the correspondent notches - here's the correct vertical grid for this panel:
last step: add the details:
last step: drawing the details:
Ok, now move to china:)

Ok, now move to china:) may seem complicated, but after a little practice it works very quickly!
Ok, now I'm ready to ink:)
It May Seem Complicated, But It Takes to a very short time, at least after a little practice! And it works too well with tilted images.
