Hi, Tom here and welcome to my new Circle Line Art School video: How to Draw Room in
One-Point Perspective in a City...
the first step is to draw a rectangle for the floor of the room at an angle,
now draw a mark for the vanishing point, quite near the nearest side of the room,
all vertical lines in this drawing will go to the single vanishing point,
this one point, in one point perspective
we need four straight lines and each of these lines comes from our vanishing
point and goes through one of the corners of our rectangle, so the second
line will come along here, we can add another line on the right...
and then the last of these line on the left, along here, to make these
lines into the walls of the room, we need to copy the lines of the original
rectangle the floor of the room that we've already drawn, just higher up, so I
add this one on the left, and then we can take this line along across, along the
back and then draw it on the right too...
next we can draw a line along the front here, for the front wall of the room,
so now it looks a bit like a shoebox, now if we draw two lines to the
vanishing point here, we can make a doorway in our room, we can add two more
lines, next to these two lines, again going to the vanishing point, to create a
thickness to the doorway...
if we copy the line on the right, that will give us a thickness to the doorway
and we can find the vertical line, the back part of this wall, by taking a line
again from the vanishing point, next on the left, I'll draw a tall wardrobe, start
by drawing a rectangular shape on the floor and then from that shape we can
draw vertical sides of the wardrobe, by using the lines from the vanishing point...
now the top lines of the wardrobe will be the same as the base of the wardrobe,
so we can just copy those lines again...
next, let's draw a chair, start with a square shape on the floor and then we
can take these lines up from the floor, using the corners and diagonal lines
coming from the vanishing point, and then the top of the chair needs to
be lower than the top of the wardrobe..
if we make three sides of the top of the square of the chair a double line, that
will give a thickness to the chair and then we can use the vanishing point here
to take these lines down at the front of the chair and then just add a line along
here for the height of the seat, if I add a curved line here, I can make
the arms of the chair curved, I will use an eraser as well at this stage, to tidy
up some of these lines, otherwise it looks like a wire drawing, you know, a sort
of drawing where you can see through things and I want to create a solidity
to the objects, so we don't need the back parts of the objects, even though we've
drawn them, so if we draw a rectangle on the right
here, on the floor as it were, that can be the bed and again using the vanishing
point and vertical lines from the vanishing point going to the corners of
this rectangle, this bed, we can raise the bed up to make it a three-dimensional
shape, just higher up from the flat shape on the floor...
I'll add a front and the back to the bed as well...
we can just erase some of the lines longer need at this stage and add some
curves if we want as well...
I'll draw in some feet for the base of the bed too, aagain the vertical lines just
go towards the vanishing point, we could add some pillows and make the
lines look broken, so it look more fabric like...
next, draw a diagonal from in point through the wardrobe, to create
the two doors of the wardrobe, this drawing is a cutaway, so that we
haven't got a ceiling or roof to this room, but that means that it would be
nice to draw the thickness of the walls, so we can just repeat these lines at the
top and make them a double line, to create the thickness of the walls,
I think I'll add a long line here for the doorway...
again it's time to erase guidelines that we no longer need
in this drawing...
now if we draw a line parallel to the baseline of our room, just a little bit
above the vanishing point and then another line parallel to the base of a
room, a little bit below the vanishing point, then we can use this as a road and
we're sort of looking down outside the room, far down to a street far below,
we can draw more lines from the vanishing point, to create more sense of the edges
of other buildings going along the street, next, we can carefully draw three
lines along this wall to create four glass windows...
looking out to the street below, now draw some parallel lines, parallel to
the road, to create more floors of these buildings and these lines need to get
closer as they go nearer the road and the distance is the further away as they
come towards us, we can start to add some details now to
this drawing, I think I will give these dividing lines for our windows a
thickness, I'll draw the top of the shape first and then bring vertical lines down
towards the vanishing point, to create a sense of three dimensionality to these edges,
most times it's best to add details to a
drawing towards the end, when the basic shapes have been sorted out, for this
drawing I'm using a 4B pencil, I want to add top part of a doorway along here,
we can add a third line to give it a thickness...
now you could add floorboards, to do this, just draw a series of parallel lines,
parallel to the side edges of our room, lower down in the building we can add
more lines too, that are also parallel to the edge of the room and these lines
should indicate the different floors of the building, as we're looking down lower,
as the lines get nearer the road, they can also be thinner and not so dark, to
make a line not so dark just don't press with so much pressure and then what will
be a finer line, we can repeat these lines on the other
side of the road, on the buildings on the other side of the road too, to finish this
drawing I'll add some patterns and details to the fabric...
we could add some tiny cars for the road far down below...
I think I'll turn the vanishing point into a small car too, that saves
trying to erase it!
now I'd like to add a person, I think I'll add a person into the chair...
I just sketch a head and draw a leg and a foot, at an angle...
I think they could have, maybe, one arm on the side of the chair here, maybe
leaning their head on their arm,
as we are looking down from a bird's eye point of view in this drawing, we don't
really need to draw a face, now I will add her other arm here, on her lap...
I can just add a bit of her other foot along here, so the figure just needs to
be an indication, looking from above, looking down, we could draw some pictures
on these pictures next! once you've got all the details that you
want, we could start adding some tones, some shading, now I will that tone to the
edges of things...
I will use a graded tone, darker at the base of the wall and then getting
lighter, graded lighter, as it goes higher up along the wall...
we could add some color too, just some diagonal blue lines could indicate the
quality of glass on the glass wall and the glass of the outside buildings too,
I will add some colors to the patterns of this bed, I'll color the chair green,
I think, and the floorboards brown, and I think I'll color in the room yellow...
