Hi, Tom here and welcome to this week's Circle Line Art School drawing
challenge: How to Draw a Manga Style Road in One-Point Perspective: For this
drawing I use a 2B pencil and some black pens: The first step in this drawing is
to draw a horizontal line across the middle of your page,
next draw a mark for the vanishing point, the point where all the parallel lines will meet,
from our vanishing point we can draw a series of four curved lines getting
wider apart as they approached the base of the paper,
now we can draw the corner of the first building using a vertical line,
we could draw this on the left,
from this vertical line just draw two diagonal lines from the top and the
bottom of the vertical line, going towards the vanishing point and this can
be the side of a row of buildings, now we could draw the front of the building,
just a rectangle on the left-hand side,
next, we can add some more buildings, drawing the side of each building,
diagonal lines going to the vanishing point, we can change the height of each
building as we go along, just making sure the tops of the
buildings and the basis of the buildings always go towards the diagonal lines
that end up at the vanishing point,
now we can add a series of horizontal lines to the left side of the road
getting further apart as they approached the base of the paper as they come
towards us,
we can now erase some parts of the horizontal line, the horizon line, that we
no longer needs, I could just join up these lines that we've just erased, as well,
the next step is to draw two vertical lines on the left of the paper for the
first telegraph pole, if we draw a diagonal line from the top and the base
of this telegraph pole towards the vanishing point, then we can add more
poles in 1-point perspective, between these two diagonal lines, they should
look thinner, be getting smaller, as they go towards the vanishing point,
we could add one more telegraph pole here on the far left, up close!
next, we could add a cutout shape to our first building, just draw a rectangle on the left,
and from this corner here we could draw a diagonal line to the vanishing point
to find the ceiling, now we can erase this vertical line on the left as we no
longer need it, if we draw a horizontal line on one of the poles, we could add a
set of traffic lights, just three circles in a rectangle,
we could add a bracket and attach it to the pole with some straps,
next, we could draw some rings on the pole, just draw some ellipses,
above the horizon, we need to top part of each of the ellipses, which are just squashed
circles, but below the horizon, we'll need the bottom part of each ellipse, to make it
look like it's in one point perspective, next we could draw the brackets for the
wires, just a simple cross bar at the top...
on this point we could a simple street lamp...
I think it's time to add some lines for the hanging wires in between the telegraph poles,
to the front building we could add a flat roof and we can put in
some windows and a few details, at this stage, I'll add a window behind this
telegraph pole, which will make the pole that like it's coming forward and it
will push the building further away from the viewer...
on the left we could add a wire fence...
with a series of diagonal lines going left and right, to make a sort of lattice pattern...
I think I'll add a push bike the foreground, on the left here,
just draw two big wheels on the road, they'll need to be sort of taller than they are
wide, because they're in perspective,
and now I just need to sketch a person riding the bike, if they're riding away
from us it will keep the shapes more simple, just a wide back of a person and
some, a leg bent going on to the foot pedal and just try and keep it really simple,
I think I'll make him a little bit taller, he looks a bit short,
the next stage is to go over the pencil lines with a black pen, I'll add more buildings
on the right, some shadows and some smaller details, at the very end of the drawing...
