Final Perspective Drawing

What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before?

I learned many things throughout this project. However, the most helpful was learning the types of lines, which were horizontal, vertical and orthogonal.

How did leaning this thing (types of lines) make your drawings better?

Learning about the different types of lines made my drawing better because to complete the project we had to draw each type of line many times. Knowing and understanding what they were and how to draw them truly made it easier to draw and made my final product look neat and clean.

If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

If I did this assignment again, I’d be more efficient during my class work periods so I’d have less work to do later on. Also next time instead of folding my drawing, I would find a better way to store it. Due to the folding, I had to deal with a lot of crease marks which interfered with my drawing. In addition to those, I’d also try to be more patient with my drawing! Yes, sometimes it was stressful, but the more patient you are the better your final product will look!

What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?

My advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing is to always keep an eye on the vanishing point! Without the vanishing point, your drawing may look really weird and your lines may be off. The vanishing point is a key tool in drawing an one point perspective drawing since all your lines end up going back to it.

What resource helped you the most and why?

The slideshow was the resource that helped me the most because the instructions were very descriptive and the pictures were easy to see! They helped me to complete my project step by step.

a. What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before?:

How orthogonal lines help to correctly draw 3D objects. I have drawn 3D objects before but I see much improvement now that I am using orthogonal lines versus trying to just judge it visually.

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better?:

This technique, as I said, will make all 3D object I draw realistic and easier to do.

c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

I would try to pick a wall that I was allowed to do the first time.

d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?

Do the wall in the guild because it is a difficult concept and it will make it easier if you can see a correct example of what you are attempting.

e. What resource helped you the most and why?

Other classmates because they were accessible and they could show it while they talked about it and that was extremely helpful.

a. What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before?

One thing that I learned specifically that I did not know before was the subject of orthagonal lines. I did not know about orthagonal lines or how they could portray a third dimension.

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better?

Learning about orthagonal lines made my drawings better by helping me with realism. For example, with edges of furniture or windows, I did not know how to make it seem as if they were a real object and not just a drawing. Now I know that you can connect orthagonal lines from the edges of the object to the vanishing point and turn it into a three dimensional drawing! It makes everything more realistic!

c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

If I did this assignment again, the thing I would do different would definitely be keep better care of my paper. Though I made sure I didn’t rip it severely or sit on it, or put it in my bag, I rolled it the wrong way multiple times, which put the drawings on the outside which made a lot of dirt marks, and ripped it on the edges, too. Though I cleaned and taped as best as possible, it would’ve been in my best interest to have taken better care of it.

d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?

My advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before would be to understand how simple it is. As long as they are focused and can draw a straight line, they should have no problems making it look great! There are only three lines after all -- horizontal, vertical and orthagonal. It’s really that easy.

e. What resource helped you the most and why?

The resource that helped me the most was the step-by-step tutorial on drawing a room, because it was very specific to what I was having trouble with. But more informally, the other best resource at a close second were my classmates, because they knew what I was having trouble with and how to explain and help by being engaging, unlike the website.

a. What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before?

One thing that I learned through this project and in art class was the different forms of perspectives in art that makes a drawing come to life. Such as the vanishing point as well as making sure everything comes off of it to make it look 3-D. Another thing that I did not know about that comes into play with the vanishing point were the othagonal or vertical lines that come out of it.

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better?

Since I learned about the vanishing point and lines that came out of it to make a one point perspective drawing it made me more aware of how to draw different objects or anything, because before when I would randomly draw there was really no consistency in them.

c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

One thing that I would differently would have to be taking more time to make sure that everything came out of my vanishing point correctly and I would have also made sure that the lines were straight. I would also take more time to make sure my room drawing was more efficient and met and exceeded the expectations more.

d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?

One piece of advice that I would give a person who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before is to take your time and make sure everything that is on the drawing comes out of the vanishing point. This is because your vertical lines and everything on the drawing need be consistent in how the drawing would actually look like in real life based on how it is viewed by a person.

e. What resource helped you the most and why?

I think the original notes that we took in class as well as getting help from others who knew more about drawing than I did helped me the most. Both of these resources helped me because I'm a visual learner so being about to see notes, pictures, and someone showing me how to draw a specific part of the room was very helpful.

a. One thing I learned was that everything you draw in some way always goes back to the vanishing point. I noticed that whenever you draw a new shape or object, some point of it has to connect back to the vanishing point. This makes the image more realist and accurate.

b. Connecting your shapes and drawings back to the vanishing point is essential to the accuracy of your drawing. It you don't do this then the object will not look relevant in comparison to where you drawing from. For example, when you look straight at a table , you will notice it looks fatter in the front and shorter in the back. This is something that the vanishing point will help with.

c. I would make my windows bigger so everything would be more proportional. My windows are a little small, so it makes my floor look bigger than it actually is.

d. Draw it like you see it. Don't try and draw something that is there, but you cannot see. For example, it you do not see the top of a table do not draw it. Draw the image as you see.

e. The vanishing point was the most useful tool for me. I have a tendency to draw what I know is there, but I don't actually see from the certain perspective I am looking from. I also tend to make things look different than they actually are from the angle I am drawing from. This makes my image look disproportionate. The vanishing point made sure that I only drew what I saw.
