Project - Build a 1-Point Room - Level 2

Course In Progress

Deadline: Submit your assignment by 12/04/2023 for a chance to be featured in the next critique video!

For this project, we're stepping it up a notch. Instead of just drawing simple boxes, you'll be extruding complex shapes toward the vanishing point.

Watch the Level 1 Project: The instruction in the previous video apply to level 2 too.

Stick to Hard-Edged Shapes: Avoid things like blenders or toilets that have curves since that will lead to complex ellipse issues that we haven't learned yet. We're focusing on straight edges and corners here.
Pick a Theme Like an Arcade Room: This works great because arcade cabinets have different shapes but are generally boxy. Think of cabinets with unique profiles but all going straight back from there.
Use One-Point Perspective: This means all corners of your objects should lead to a single vanishing point.
Be Creative with Your Theme: The arcade room is just a suggestion.
Focus on Structure, Then Add Details: First, get your basic structure right. After that, add in details to make it look more real.
Have Fun and Experiment: The most important part is to enjoy and try out different things.

I enjoyed the one-point perspective drawing assignments; they were really fun. However, I received a low score on my final exam, which was a stylized skeleton skull drawing. The teacher said my drawing was incomplete, and I ended up with the lowest score in the class. I believe she didn’t appreciate my style, as I think my drawing was better than at least half of the class. Here is my drawing; I need encouraging words.

I tried out an old arcade and quite like how it turned out. I struggled a bit with the pool table and getting it in a position that looked right, but I think I managed it. I've also included a one point cityscape with a Godzilla scene.

I ended up drawing random objects since my mind was drawing a blank otherwise... I eyed the perspective lines.

I watched the critiques and gave proportions a quick shot. I definitely need more practice, the cabinet’s very wide 🤔

I had a horrible sinking feeling that I’d missed something from level 1…

Just realized I needed to watch the level 1 video, whoops. I'll give this another shot.

My lines are rough and thick but I think they are well oriented.

Hi :). This was hard. I drew the table on the wall and projected it so it could appear in the center of the stage. I think the table legs are off, but I do not understand why. Thanks!
Melanie Scearce
Hello! The best way to center two objects is to find the mid point of each and match them. You can do that by drawing diagonal lines from both corners. Since the stairs cut into the box, you may want to move the table forwards on the midline to give it a bit more space, but finding that midpoint will be helpful even in that case. The placement of the table legs looks overall good to me. Right leg is just a touch too long. Overall great job :)

This isn't a one point, but i'm kinda proud of this and wanted to share it, if it's okay 😊

You’re very good at perspective!

Had a go with ballpoint, trying to clean up my line weight. Not overly happy with the result, but it was good practice! Being right handed, I have a tendency make my perspective drawings lopsided. I compensated for that in the photo, but I really should turn the sketch more while drawing.

Should you though? I've heard that turning the sketch is not a good habit to have. Pulling this off with a ballpoint though - well done!

Assignment complete with drawing guide help from Procreate. Not the most exciting composition but I got the sink in there.

I think it’s a good idea to have a sink right by the arcade where everyone touches the controllers with their dirty hands

Ahhhh one of my favorite places to have a good time with friends, and a sink near by is chefs kiss :D Perfect.

Level 2 assignment, drawing straight lines without a ruler is oddly satisfying.

Drawing one for point perspective is easy to mess up on if you get the box messed up I see that there are several instances where you messed up the square here’s a few

Looks great! I love the addition of the characters.

The characters in the scene are a great touch. The perspective looks nice.

People are starting to find that it’s a good idea to have a sink right next to the grubby arcade controllers🧼💦

Thought I try level 2. Not in level 2 but thought I'd try because the Acrade would be fun
Rachel Dawn Owens
Thanks for sharing! You should continue to challenge yourself. It’s where you will learn most. I think some of the angles drift off so I made this guide to help. Perspective can be a bit of a brain buster, it’s not the most intuitive thing. I tried to keep it simple. Some shapes will be way more distorted than you would expect. Start with boxes and then add the details on top to make it fun. This is great. These drawings are super fun. Keep it up!
Melanie Scearce
You have the right idea! Keep practicing with it. You can try changing the point of view by raising or lowering the horizon line for an additional challenge.

Just a quick submission to get myself warmed up for the "wheels on vehicles"-project.
Rachel Dawn Owens
Good luck! You're gonna want to keep your lines clean and confident for this assignment. Things will get real messy otherwise.

Had a go at the level two project and rotated the horizon line to try to test myself a bit and try to design shapes more carefully. I will be sure to practice this more any advice would be appreciated thanks.
