Hello and welcome to my new Circle Line
Art School video how to a room in
2-Ponit Perspective, for this drawing we
need to start with a horizontal line
that goes through a rectangle, the room
we draw will fill the rectangle,
the second step is to draw two dots on
this horizontal line which are outside
the rectangle and they can be anywhere
on the horizontal line, one on the left
hand side and one on the right hand side,
these two dots of the vanishing points,
the third step in this drawing is to
draw two diagonal lines from the
vanishing point on the left to go to the
vertical line of the rectangle
on the right,
these will be the top and bottom of the
wall of the room on the right and they
need to go to the vanishing point so
that the perspective of two point
perspective will work,
the fourth step in this drawing is to
draw a vertical line somewhere in the
center of your page that goes between
the two diagonal lines that we've just
drawn, this will be the corner of the
room
the fifth step of this drawing is to
draw two more diagonal lines this time
from the vanishing point on the right
and they need to touch the top and
bottom of the vertical line that we just
drawn and they also need to stop on the
left-hand vertical line of the rectangle,
these two lines will be useful because
they will be the left hand side of the
room, the left-hand wall of the room that
we are drawing, now hopefully if you look
carefully at the drawing that
you're making,
you'll see that there are two walls, one on
the left and one of the right, within the
rectangle, but they followed the rule of
going to the vanishing points
so now we can create some furniture or
work surfaces
this can be kitchen, so we just can do
some three-dimensional blocks and with
each of these three dimensional blocks,
which are going to be work services and
things like that in the kitchen,
the vertical lines need to stay vertical
and the parallel lines which are going
away from us will even go to the left
vanishing point or to the right
vanishing point,
this is because all of the objects in
this room are going to be at
right angles to each other,
it just makes it easier to do it that
way, all the up right lines are going to be
parallel to the vertical upright lines
of the rectangle and then all of the
diagonal lines, all of them, will go even
to the left vanishing point or to the right
vanishing point, now with this drawing like
any other
it's always best to do the basic shapes
first,
once you've got the basic shapes put in,
then you can start to think about
details later on, the placing of these
objects is quite important
but I can move a line to the left or
right to create the cube exactly where I
want it so that is overlapping maybe a
cube or door frame behind it and that's
overlapping quality, just by wearing
place the objects, will also help make
the image look more three dimensional
because you have some objects which are
clearly behind other objects and that
will be in the objects in the foreground
will come forward more and the objects
in the background will recede and go
back more in your drawing,
once you've got to a certain stage, we will
focus on the center of the rectangle
you can just use an erasor and rub out the guidelines which go to the vanishing points
and now we've got a drawing with
clearer lines, we can add some more details to it
 
so, on the area on the left I'll make a tall
sort of cabinet area and again the
vertical lines vertical and just
choosing how high I want that to go
maybe to the top of the ceiling I think
I'll make it go a little bit lower
we're speeding the video along here a
little bit, I will put in maybe a window
here and that can be tucked behind the
cabinet thing that I've just drawn and
I with something else here in the
corner as well, but maybe I'll go back to
the window and just had a little bit
more details to the window, so we get
some sort of thickness to the window
frame and that will start to give us
some more scale
so we can judge how big and small things
are and again to the door, to put a frame
around the door,
will enable the drawing to be easily
read in proportions, just straightening
some of these lines a little bit make,
them darker and we can start putting on
maybe some doors, so just dividing some
of the shapes up so that there are
cabinets and doors,
maybe around the edge of the work top,
work surfaces
I could just draw a line underneath the
line that we've already got, so that's
just sort of copying a mark that we have already drawn, which is always quite satisfying
to do, I think, and that will give some unity
to these shapes in this kitchen
and then from this stage if we just pull
back and see how it relates to the
vanishing points
you can see that it's still following
the rules of when the diagonal lines
going to left or the right vanishing
point and all the vertical lines staying
upright
so the right here
I'll draw a cooker and maybe
an extractor fan or something like that
above the cooker and again working at
the base of that, which is higher than
the horizon, line so we're looking
up to it
and it's following the rules of two
point perspective, which is everything's
got to go to one of these two points,
oftentimes people are confused about
where the two points in the perspective
drawing can go, as long as down the
horizon and far apart
it really will make a difference to what
the drawing looks like but it will
always work as long as they're on the
horizon far apart,
so here I put a little cabinet in the
corner of the room and there hasn't got
much perspective because it's very near
the horizon line and therefore the
diagonal parallel lines are almost
parallel to the horizon line but they're
not quite, the sort of tape a little bit
to left,
and they also taper a little bit to the
right,
whereas the things in the foreground
will taper a bit more,
I think on this thing in the
foreground,
if I draw two lines going up from the
center of it,
and then work out where they would stop
if they're on the ceiling,
they could be two lights which are hanging down, so I'm really doing guidelines to
help me find out where they go and then
once I have chosen where I want to put them,
I will draw two ellipses, which is just
circles seen from the side and
make them into two lights and then
darken the line above
so they're hanging from the ceiling,
so to do that I found out where they
would relate to the surface below first,
so here I will probably put a few
details, maybe a bowl of fruit I could
put in the foreground or an apple or
something simple like that maybe another
one here and maybe a little
mug or cup, something like that, so you can put anything you want,
when you get to this stage of a drawing
you can just add smaller and
smaller things,
so for this drawing up put lots of
cabinets and some tiles in the
background and things like that
and then through the door
I've put another room
and I've put a landscape through the window and added a few more details, and then
I went over all the lines using a black
felt-tip pen, the next stages I'll add
some color and for this I'm just using
some simple color pencils and I'll start
with a soft green in the background and
then jump forwards and speed up the
video this bit and add some yellow and
some red and then add a few shadows,
thinking about where the light sources
is, so that the light is coming from one or
maybe two directions, and then it creates
shadows we need it to be,
and then just pushing it forward a
little bit and work on the tones, keeping
it so it's still a line drawing, but it has
color and tonal values to it as well.
