Remarkable 2020: My Room (A Perspective Drawing)

Let’s work on our perspective drawing skills for this next project. This project is titled Remarkable Spring of 2020: My Room.

Project Overview: You are going to create a one-point perspective drawing of your room. Your drawing can be your bedroom or any other room from your home. You can choose the medium for this project.

This week:  Watch the video tutorials here for one-point perspective, and here for two-point perspective and follow along. Decide what room from your home you are going to draw, and which point perspective you will use. Create  thumbnail sketches of your plan.

Day 1:  Follow along and practice drawing while watching the videos.  Decide which room from your house you will be drawing. Which part of the room will you be drawing? Jot down your ideas and sketches in a thumbnail drawing.

Day 2:  Looking at your room choice from Day 1. Choose a part of your selected room that has good composition elements (e.g. the organization of line, shape, space, balance and emphasis).  Perhaps take a picture of it and see in the viewfinder how that looks. Draw some thumbnail sketches and circle your favorite one. 

Next Week: Create the Final this week.  Be sure to use a straight edge for those structural lines!  If you do not have access to your sketchbook, a regular 8 ½ x 11 computer paper works fine.

Day 1:  Draw your contours lightly! Next, erase the structural lines

Day 2:  Start shading. Remember to have at least 3 shades.  Make sure your darks are dark enough!
