PerspectiveGrid Pro – The Ultimate Composition Tool for Artists

Elevate your sketches and paintings with professional-grade perspective planning. PerspectiveGrid Pro is a lightweight, interactive 3D composition tool specifically designed for watercolorists, urban sketchers, and traditional illustrators.

Forget complex math – this tool lets you visualize architectural volumes in a natural 2-point perspective. Whether you are planning a serene village landscape or a complex cityscape, PerspectiveGrid Pro helps you lock in your angles and light directions before you even touch the paper.

Why Use PerspectiveGrid Pro?

Natural Human Vision: Use the "Normalize" feature to push vanishing points outside the frame, eliminating the "distorted wide-angle" look common in digital tools.
Master the Light: Use the dynamic Sun Direction slider to see exactly how shadows fall on your buildings, helping you plan your watercolor washes.
360° Creative Freedom: Rotate each cottage individually to create organic, lifelike street scenes rather than stiff, parallel rows.
Print & Paint: Download your final layout as a clean PNG sketch to use as a reference or a light-box guide.

How to Build Your Scene

Set the Stage: Drag the Red Dots to define your eye level (horizon) and vanishing points. Use Normalize for a realistic, calm perspective.
Add Structures: Click Add Cottage to populate your scene.
Position & Select: Drag the Green Anchor at the base of any cottage to move it. Click an anchor to select that specific building for editing.
Refine Volumes: Use the sliders to adjust the Size, Height, and Rotation of the selected cottage.
Plan the Shading: Rotate the Sun Direction slider to see high-contrast light and shadow (Light Grey vs. Dark Grey) for better tonal planning.
Export: Click Download Sketch to save a clean version of your grid.

While this tool is mobile-friendly, we recommend using a desktop or tablet for the best experience. A larger screen provides better precision when fine-tuning perspective angles and sun positions for your composition.
