DRAWING A SIMPLE ROOM

Essentials to remember: objects and

people dimmish in size as they move

farther away; parallel planes such as

walls converge toward the vanishing

point; and floors and ceilings also

converge and rise or lower toward

the horizon.

2 Draw the walls, floor; and ceiling

first before adding furniture.

Here, additional lines have established

the different surfaces and how they

relate to each other. The space has

become more solid and real.

3

Remove the construction lines

with an eraser and the room will

become clearer. There is great pleasure

to be found in spending time inventing

interiors. With some practice, you will

be able to draw more complex objects

or people within them.

1 First, draw thevanishing horizon line point. and Add an array of

converging lines to provide a "scaffold"

for vertical, horizontal, and leaning

surfaces. This initial space will be

transparent and open to change.
