One Point Perspective

A drawing has one-point perspective when it contains only one vanishing point on the horizon line

One point perspective using a grid method.

Being able to start this process from the very basic method of developing a grid, really taught me the core of how one point perspective comes to life. I’m so thankful to be learning at this level and to then be able to incorporate more thoughtful designs to my work!

After completing the grid, we added furniture shapes to 1/4” scale. This did require some practice on my part, but after a few tries I got the hang of it, and am excited to implement the technique into my final. You can already see the shapes come alive in a 3-dimensional way.

And in goes the furniture, a bed and headboard, a few night stands, and a bench. I was able to pull up some furniture inspiration from a few online shops I like which really helped bring the space to life.

Then the fun part, shading everything in! My professor really pushed us to bring in the shadows, making the darks darker and emphasize our newly developed hatching technique.

The final drawing with hatching, cross hatching and scribbling to complete the look. I was able to turn a few boxes into a semi-realistic designed space all through hand drawing.
