Week 2:
My search for a tutorial was brief – anything that looked somewhat realistic and like I could reasonably pull it off was fine for me. I drew a room in one-point perspective, beginning with lines emanating out from a vanishing point to create the walls, door, and window. I started with light pencil and used a ruler for practically every line.
I actually started out my undergraduate career in architectural engineering, so I am more familiar with this style of piece than I was with the previous one. It’s somehow safe to me – I can use a ruler to make sure everything is accurate and clean. I can begin with pencil, trace over in pen, and erase all my first-attempt lines without hurting the end product.
I think this piece turned out reasonably well, though not terribly impressive or complicated. Overall, it looks like everything is basically drawn with good scale and using accurate perspective (at least, for a one-point method). I will point out, though, that the back legs of my table intrude into the wall ever so slightly. I’m guessing most people wouldn’t notice if I didn’t mention it, but it serves to me as a reminder that there’s always room for mistakes, even with rulers and erasers.
