Hi, Tom here and welcome to this week's Circle Line Art School video: How to Draw
a view of the V&A Museum in London in one-point perspective, for this drawing
start by drawing a horizontal line in the middle of your page, next draw a
vanishing point on the horizontal line near the middle, now toward two diagonal
lines to left, for the top and bottom lines of the front facade and arch,
in one-point perspective, in this drawing, all parallel lines going away from us
will look as if they're meeting at the vanishing point, next we can draw two
upright lines for the sides of the archway,
we can double up these vertical lines,
now we can draw an arch in this space and another arch to the left to show its width,
next we can draw a series of upright columns getting nearer to each other as
they go away from us and go towards the vanishing point in the far distance,
now we can draw the Henry Cole building, the big building in the middle of this drawing,
but we're only looking at one side of this building and because we're only
looking at the site directly, there's no perspective in it, as we're
not looking at it at an angle, not looking at it sideways, were looking at
it directly on, it's not going away from us, so we don't need to use our one-point
perspective, we don't need to use the vanishing point for this particular part
of this building,
so for drawing this, I just draw a rectangle and then break it
down into smaller shapes and then add more smaller rectangular windows and
arched windows at the bottom,
now on the right we can add a lower building in the same way that we drew the
facade on the left hand side...
once we have used the vanishing point to find all of the horizontal lines in this
building, which will all recede away from us, to actually get all the way to the
vanishing point, once we've done all of those, we can draw a series of steps
in the foreground,
and for those we just need to draw the side of the steps, the sort of zigzag
shape of the sides of the steps,
once we've got those in, we can extend the edges of each of the parts of the
steps all the way again, to a single one point vanishing point, and that will give
us the shape of the steps,
next in this drawing we can add some curves for the modern building extension
that contrasts with the original Victorian building of the V&A museum,
