Hi, Tom here welcome to this week's Circle Line Art School drawing challenge,
one way to draw a modern family house using one point perspective,
if you'd like to learn more please visit www.circlelineartschool.com
the first step in this one point perspective drawing is to draw a
horizontal line across your page, you could use a ruler
if you wish, next draw a vanishing point in the
center of this horizon line and
all of the parallel lines that are receding in this drawing
will go towards this one vanishing point, in this one point perspective drawing,
now draw a tall vertical line to the left of
our vanishing point
and then we can draw another vertical line parallel to it,
right next to it,
and then a short horizontal line at both ends,
next, using the vanishing point for the receding lines, draw a line to the base
of this tall rectangle and then draw another receding line from
the top of the thin rectangle to the vanishing point,
now draw a horizontal baseline for the house
slightly above the base of this thin rectangle, we can add another horizontal
line to this line to give it a thickness,
next we need a new diagonal line from the vanishing point
to the top of the baseline, because we've raised the baseline higher,
next we can draw a door in the center of the house,
use the new diagonal line that we just drew to find
the corner of the door and then draw a tall rectangle for the door
use the vanishing point to draw two diagonal lines to the right,
continuing beyond the door frame, next draw a vertical line start from the
point where the diagonal hits the baseline and draw a line
upwards from that point, at this stage we have two receding walls
in one point perspective, going towards a door in the center of
the drawing, next we can draw a line at an angle for
the roofline of the house, this is a flat roof for
this house, so all we need to do is give the edge of
this diagonal line a thickness to create a flat roof,
where the left side of the roof sort of touches the tall vertical wall
that we drew at the beginning, we can draw a new diagonal line,
next we can draw a vertical line on the right for the edge of the building and
now we can draw a rectangle on the left for the left hand side of the building
next draw two rectangles for windows on the left
and then we can use the vanishing point to draw
a rectangular overhang, a three-dimensional rectangular overhang
for each of these new windows on the left,
in one point perspective we can use our single
central vanishing point for all of the receding lines in this drawing,
next draw a tall window on the far right of the house,
near the edge of the house,
we could add a thin angled window below the roofline too,
this drawing is based on the house from the tv comedy show, the american tv
comedy show: modern family, it's a very interesting house I think,
now we can add some details to the house, we can divide the windows
into smaller areas and draw a series of horizontal and vertical lines in the
door area to make the door smaller and to make some windows around the door,
when you are ready it's time to erase some of the guidelines that we no longer
need in the drawing, we could add the receding lines to the
right of the house too, just at the corners,
and a diagonal from the vanishing point to make a path coming forwards towards us,
next we could draw some palm trees, as this is california,
I'll draw a tall palm tree here,
you might need to think where to place the tree
in your drawing, it just needs to be a tall tree trunk
with some thin palm leaves at the top,
next we can add a second, nearer, palm tree,
we can use the vanishing point to place where the base of the second tree goes
by drawing a line from the vanishing point
through the base of the first tree and then continuing that line,
and anywhere along that line we can draw another tree,
if we want the trees to be parallel,
the second tree needs to be bigger than the first, because it's nearer us,
the viewer of the image,
the next stage in this drawing is to add some more plants in the garden
and then I think I'll add some colored areas for some parts of the drawing,
