Perspective Grid / Turn off this brush following crosshairs / Parallel perspective?

Hi,

I am pretty new in Fresco and I wanna use it for the illustration of rooms. So I need perspective grids. What I achieve so far is set up a perspective grid, respectively set up multiple line setups for various grids in 1 illustration.

My questions are:
1.
How can I turn of the annoying crosshair which is following my brush all the time? I knew it might be helpful for somebody, but for me it distracts my drawing flow.

2.
Is their an option to set up a parallel perspective? Sometimes I create isometric illustrations, and sometimes I create illustrations with 2 vanashing points which are parallel but less steep than the isometric view. Like a false perspective. For various reasons a very nice thing. Is their any possibility to create a Grid which is parallel? Do I need to import a JPG of my prepared parallel grid to use it as a base?

Thanks for your help fellow creatives 🙂

I explained 2. confusing, cause there is no vanashing point in my parallel perspectives, just a parallel grid, but less steep than the isometric view. Sorry for the wrong explanation.

I get you. So far, no isometric perspective. It's also lacking in illustrator (but that's a personal opinion hre 🙂 )
although I think there is a 3rd party plug-in that allows that, if I remember well (maybe something from Astute Graphics?).
If you're interested I can have a look.

Althought I doubt it's available in Illustrator mobile anyway. And it's a no for Fresco. The closest thing would be to set the vanishing points far enough from each other. Although more a hack than anything else.

also see if that one helps:

(but that's how you do it already I suppose)

Thanks a lot again 🙂
You are right, I am working with Adobe Illustrator for isometric illustrations ( on an computer ), which works very well for me, with some actions ( ths SSR method ) and the awesome plugin "AxoTools" from Astute Graphics, I highly recommend it for everybody 🙂 This is an example of what I do:

Hello!

First, no you cannot disable the perspective drawing aid, but I see where you are coming from, I find it very useful as I am not very good with perspective 🙂 but it should be your choice to have it on or off.

Second: You can only set one type of perspective per drawing (I think that's what I gathered from your question, correct me if I'm wrong).
So I don't think you can.

So it would be worth adding your suggestions to the feedback module in the app
(go to the app settings> then help > then bug report and feedback
Or directly go there to subit it:

Hi 🙂 

Thanks a lot for your time and answer. I will explore Fresco more and collect all my suggestions and add those who seems to be useful to the suggetion section. Maybe I gonna use Fresco mainly for vector illustrations rather than drawings.  

To the second question – you got me wrong, sorry for explaining my issure not clear enough and particular wrong. With parallel perspective I meant a special kind of perspective, not various types perspectives. For example isometric perspective – there is no real vanishing point, just equal angles, "Isometric art is a drawing or illustration style that makes two-dimensional figures appear three dimensional." The same technique works very well with a parallel grid, without vanashing points.

But in the end Fresco seems not to support something like that yet, so I have to find another way to achieve the look that I need 🙂
