Hi, Tom here welcome to this week's
Circle Line Art School video: How to Draw a
High School Hallway in 1-Point Perspective,
for this drawing use of 4B
pencil, the first step in this drawing is
to draw a horizontal line in the middle
of your page and then draw a cross or
vanishing point in the center of this
horizontal line,
next, we can draw 4 diagonal lines from the vanishing
point in the center, to the four corners of the paper,
you could use a ruler or just draw
the lines freehand, makes no difference...
we can now draw 4 more lines from the
vanishing point to the base of our page
coming forwards, with even spaces between
the four lines, this will be for the
large tiles that we're going to draw on
the floor
next draw a horizontal line between these
lines and then a series of about five
more horizontal lines above the first
horizontal line, the spaces between each
of these five smaller horizontal lines
needs to get smaller itself, as the lines
get nearer the vanishing point, in this
way we've created a simple checkered floor,
next we can draw two more diagonal
lines on the left and the right, above
our earlier diagonal lines,
and now, if we draw a vertical line here from the edge
of this square on the floor to the top
diagonal line, that can be the corner of
our first group of lockers, now just draw
another vertical line, again in line with
the ground floor, for the further away
edge of the locker, we can repeat this to
draw more vertical lines on the
right-hand side of our drawing for
another locker on the right-hand side, we
can now draw more vertical lines from
the checkered floor going up to a
diagonal line to top diagonal line on the
left and the top diagonal line on the
right, these lines, for the edges of the
lockers, will naturally get shorter as
they go towards the vanishing point, the
vanishing point is the farthest thing in
the distance in one point perspective,
now we can add some short horizontal
lines from the top and the bottom of
these new vertical lines for the lockers
and in this way we can be making the
sides of the lockers on the left and
then again if we repeat this process on
the right of the drawing we can make the
sides of the lockers on the right by
adding just these short horizontal lines
to the top and bottom of the earlier
vertical lines,
now it's time to erase some of the lines
we no longer need, for example the
horizontal line at the beginning of
the drawing, we don't need that anymore, and
the lines are over that are over the lockers, that
are now behind the lockers, we can erase those too,
we can now, I think, see how
this 1-point perspective is creating a
tunneling effect of lines looking like
they're going away in the distance
creating a sort of three-dimensional
effect, even though its obviously just a
two-dimensional surface of the piece of
paper, next I can see, now that I've
erased some lines, that have also missed
some of the edges of the lockers and the
floor, so I'll just add those in now,
I always think it's actually good sign if
I notice something that I need to change,
it gives me a chance to improve the
drawing, it is the things that I don't
notice that the issue, for example I've
just noticed that the locker on the
right is lower than the locker on the
left, and I want this drawing to look
symmetrical, so I want to line these two
up, so the easiest way to do this would
be to redraw the locker on the left, to
make it a similar height to the one on
the right and then just erase the lines
that I no longer need...
now we have all the lines and structure for
this drawing of a high-school hallway
with lockers and a checkered floor, we've
got everything in place, all in 1-point
perspective, which means that all of the
diagonal lines in this drawing, all of
them, go to the vanishing point and all
of the other lines are either vertical
lines, going straight up and down or
horizontal lines, going straight across,
and all of these vertical and horizontal
lines are at right angles to each other,
but also these vertical and horizontal
lines are parallel with the vertical
side of the paper and the horizontal
side of the paper, I'll speed up the
video now at this stage so that you can
see how the drawing develops over time,
I'll add some smaller details, but
basically I'm just going to use the 4B
pencil to draw in some dramatic tones,
the checkered floor is black and white,
and then I'll put in the reflections of
the lockers in the checkered floor, I'll
make sure that the lights in the ceiling
are lights, by making the ceiling around
them pretty dark, I want the whole image
to be quite dark, but of course for your
drawing, it is totally up to you, what you
would like to do in your drawing, I just
wanted to show you the basics of how to
draw in 1-point perspective...
