In this video I am going to show you how to draw a room
using one point perspective you start with a dot
in the center of the page the dot is going to be the vanishing point
then around the dot you draw a rectangle
using as straight a line as you can manage and each line of
the rectangle should be parallel
to the edges the paper
next you find the
dot in the center this is your vanishing point and all the diagonal lines
end up here
you can read from the perspective point to the corner of the rectangle
and then you continue that line to the edge of the paper
so from the vanishing point you read to them to the corner of the rectangle
and finish at the edge of the paper
you repeat this four times and then you have
what is a box in perspective a shoe box or in this case a room
we can now add a door
we need to work out where the door would go
it needs to go slightly above the center of the back wall
and line at the top of the door needs to be parallel
to the top rectangle that you started with
next from the vanishing point we can fond the corners of the thickness of the wall
those two lines would go towards the vanishing point
the upright is a vertical line that should be parallel to your other vertical lines
horizontal lines top and bottom of the door frame will be horizontal to all the
other lines you have in the drawing
we can continue the edge of the room
so we can read the lines across from the original line to your
diagonal lines and then put an end to it
lets place another door
the corner of the door can be there
again the top of the door can be read from a line from the vanishing point
that gives us the top of the door frame
the uprights again are parallel to the edge of the paper
I am doing this freehand so parallel is parallel
as close as I can get
these lines come down and you can see when he stopped by reading
across from the other lines
okay next
from here continued the line from the back of our original room
as if we looking through the doorway on the right and its a continuation of the room
the top of the room would not be shown as it is covered by the top of the door frame
lets place a window in now
so you need to choose the height where you would like it to start
and the vertical line would be parallel to your other vertical lines
but the diagonal line as always needs to come from the vanishing point
you read it and continue the line across
from the vanishing point
that gives us the top and bottom angles of the window
next we do the line coming down
and then we have a window we could probably get another window in
and that could be the same high and we can extend the line
of the angle that we have
and then we find the two uprights
and next the window frame needs a thickness just keep a simple drawing
the lines come from the vanishing point
and we just read them across
any down lines stay parallel
reading across from the vanishing point you can find out where they go
as things get nearer the vanishing point they get smaller
as as things more away from the vanishing point they get larger they look larger
lets put in a table in the corner
not too near the window as that would be a confusing number of lines
to start the back of the table at the back of the room
and then the side of the table will go along at the side of the wall
and the other side the table will meet at the corner
that's our choice where the corner is
and a continuation from the vanishing point
now this line is parallel to the back wall
more or less lets make this a glass table so we can see what is happening
we give the surface of the table top a thickness
following the same rule angles go towards the vanishing point
this being one point perspective there is only one point to worry about
now to this class will see the back
edge of the glass plane
It needs some sort of legs now
four ellipses one in each corner
at the bottom of the glass surface
then we can extend these down
and read them across
the one on the left is a bit lower
so I need to bring the one on the right down too
so that they are more or less parallel with each other
then we need to find out where the back two legs of our table are
again reading from the vanishing point to the front leg
and where it touches were the back leg could be
that is the base that we can read across from the vanishing point
and these will be slightly smaller than the two legs in front
because it's in perspective
we got to remember that things get smaller as they go towards the vanishing point
they look smaller
okay so next we could add a picture frame
let's do that using the dot of the vanishing point
to be a corner of the rectangle we can draw
a simple that picture frame
pop that in
if we keep it details quite small we can make the room look bigger
lets put another picture frame here
so again these or parallel with the back wall
it is different rectangles and squares and they will make the wall look
flatter because it's now got a couple of things on it
two pictures
we can put some lights in
so again from the vanishing point read across two lines
then I'll make a mark
on one side and then repeat on the inside as the marks get nearer to the vanishing point
they get smaller
and closer to each other
okay next we can put another door in the back room
I can read it from the angle of the door at the
front room and we find out where that
to would need to be to be the same height to the door frame at least
next we can add in a carpet
again lines that go away should meet at the vanishing point if they are parallel
getting the two angles choosing where the lines stop
and then maybe putting a few details
to give some detail and scale to the drawing we have in front of us
on the wall on the right I think I will make another little frame reading across
so to get a unity in the image
I'll read across the height of the frame on the back wall that the original room
and just put it in on the right
again working from the center point the vanishing point
and we can read the lines of the floor
at the back wall the spaces should be evenly spaced and
because a coming from the vanishing point and we are reading them across
I don't want to join them up at the vanishing point as it would look like a cobweb in the middle
I am just visually following them through
so the floor boards go from the right to the left
in a sort of fan like shape
because it is a glass like table I can draw the floor boards through it
begin to add some details to the table
table legs table glass
colour the carpet
make the black lines solid
put the floor boards in
do a view through the window colour in some of the pictures
I don't want to over do it so that is probably done...
