Hi, Tom here in this week's Circle Line Art School video I'll show you one way to
draw a bedroom in one point perspective,
for this drawing I drew a frame first, a rectangular shape in which I'm going to
draw the main drawing, within this rectangular shape draw a horizontal line
across your page and then draw a cross for the vanishing point near the center
and on the horizon line, next draw four lines from the vanishing point
to the corners of your drawing,
once you have done that draw a rectangle, start by drawing a vertical line on the
left between two of these diagonal lines that we just drew
and then from there draw two more parallel horizontal lines going towards
the right
and then they should join up with one more vertical line to make a rectangle
which should be the same proportion as the paper that you're drawing on, or
if you're using a drawing frame like mine it will be the same proportion as
the drawing frame, just smaller, now you should have a shape that looks like the
inside of a box or indeed looks like the start of a room in one point perspective,
perspective is a way of drawing that is based on how we see, for one point
perspective we're looking straight ahead, one point perspective is best used when
you're drawing something where you're looking straight ahead, so like inside a
room or looking at a road going straight ahead or a train track going straight
ahead, so in one point perspective we're looking straight ahead at the vanishing
point, so that's the direction in which we're looking, that's our view and the
vanishing point is always on this horizon line, this horizontal line, now
the horizon line is a line that shows the height of the eye of the viewer of
the image, so I'm just drawing a quick sketch of a person to show the height of
their eye when they're looking at this room that we're drawing, having a sketch
of a person will also help set the size of the things in the room, so if this
person were able to walk into this room, as they walked towards the horizon line,
towards the back wall of the room, clearly they'll get smaller, they'll look
like they're getting smaller, but the head of the person will stay the same
height and will still be on the horizon line, as long as he's still standing up!
next we can add some objects into the room, I'll start with a rectangle on the
left for a mirror or a picture on the wall, the vertical lines of this
rectangle just stay vertical and also stay parallel to the other vertical
lines in the room, but the horizontal lines of the rectangle, they need to go
towards our vanishing point because the picture frame is on one of the four
surfaces of the room that are receding from us, that are going away from us, we
have two walls that are going away, the wall on the right, the wall on the left
and also clearly the floor and the ceiling are going away,
next we can draw a window on the back wall, now the back wall is not receding
from us, so it can just be a normal rectangle, it's not distorted by
perspective because we're looking straight on that it,
we're not looking at the back wall from an angle, we're looking straight ahead at
it and therefore it hasn't got any perspective
directly on it,
we can draw a bed, the sides of the bed are receding, are going away from us, so
the sides of the bed we need to use the vanishing point to find where these
lines that are going away, these parallel lines are going away, where they would end
up, if they were to continue, the horizontal and vertical lines of the bed
are not going away from us so those lines can stay horizontal and vertical
and we don't need to use the vanishing point for those lines,
in one point perspective all parallel lines that a receding will go away to
the single vanishing point which is always on the horizon line and the
horizon line represents the height of the viewer, the height of us looking at
the drawing, please visit www.circlelineartschool.com to learn more
