Pixel Art / Problem with top-down orthographic elliptical objects
« on: May 23, 2017, 07:38:53 pm »
Hello,
This must be a really newbie question but I cannot find any good rules of thumb or resources on how to draw elliptical objects in a top-down orthographic projection. All that comes to me is that the "back" part of the circle needs to be flatter than the "front" part, but I cannot envision this even after looking at existing artwork.
The object in question I am trying to make is a yurt. It looks well enough on its own but when applied to the rest of the image it looks really off because of the difference in perspective. Would appreciate some pointers on this.
