Week 4 Challenge – Perspective Drawing

Inspiration

For my one-point perspective drawing I wanted to create a corridor. I hadn’t decided on a location or theme until I started blocking in shapes and decided on a theme based on the furniture I’d sketched.

Process

I started by creating guidelines to a central point and putting a square in the centre as the back wall. Then I sketched in cuboids following the lines and adapted them into different objects based on what I thought they looked like form their size and shape.

After that I blocked in the colour for the objects in the scene and the background. Then I added details to the objects like the piano keys, the drawers and the books on the shelf and some shading to outline their shapes and make them look more 3D. I also shaded the edges of the walls in the back of the corridor to make it clearer what the shape of the room was.

For the lighting I used a light-yellow airbrush and sketched where would be illuminated by the lights I then transformer the layer into a lighting layer and adjusted the opacity so it wasn’t as extreme as the light would bounce around the light walls and illuminate most of the room very well.

I added final details to the carpet by using a spotted brush to create the pattern. To create the woodgrain look on the floor, I used a very small brush and drew lots of lines on the floor following the guidelines towards the vanishing point.

Outcome
Evaluation

If I had more time to spend on this piece i would add objects into the grey blocks on the right as they were placeholders for a door and painting but i ran out of time. I would also add more detail to the door in the back and add some more shadows.
