Try drawing in one-point perspective. Stick with one vanishing point, don't worry about two or three. Think of it like a theater play, where you see characters in full with clear poses. Since you're looking straight ahead, there's no foreshortening, which makes it great for practicing proportions.
Do a few sketches and play with the horizon line, high and low, to get different drama in your composition. Lean on overlaps to create depth, and try to draw your humans in full. Please post your work in the comments below, I'd love to see them!
This discussion board is available for premium students.
Well, somehow I feel like my drawings got worse, the more I did ..
It is definitely better to draw bigger. And I need to overcome the urge to use low horizon lines as floor 🫣
Having a great time with this course so far. Excellent content and pacing! Here are a few thumbnails I came up with from imagination. This is really something I need to add to my daily drawing routine.
Did a couple compositions from imagination, the last one sort of a play on the last one in the video. Pen started to die mid way through so lines got a bit rough! Any feedback would be appreciated!
Wow ! Thank you so much for breaking down so easy and the best part is that we are not using rulers ! Can’t wait to master it ! Feedback would be appreciated!
Not sure if I did these correctly as I don't know if "drawing humans in full" meant having them rendered with hair and clothes (I don't have the confidence to do that yet, but I'll try to incorporate it more into my drawings moving forward!), but instead I tried to draw simplified figures in full!
I have some POV shots of my apartment which I drew in a 1 PP, along with some scenes in 1PP I drew from imagination, playing around with the composition and horizon line. I even tried to draw one of the Stanley Kubrick movie shots from my last post. Drew everything in pen in order to keep my mistakes present on the paper and to learn from them.
It is so true drawing in 1 PP feels like staging characters on a stage play! Going to keep drawing from observation and playing around putting it into a 1 PP to get more dramatic scene compositions.
Overall, super excited to keep learning and pushing myself out of my comfort zone! :)
You have a really good amount of variety here in your work. Thumbnails are there just to get our ideas out and see if they are worth expanding upon and not necessarily to be rendered out completely. Your last two double-page spreads are looking clear and dimensional.
Oh nice, I really like the compositions with the figures. You can definitely try to draw the figures rendered.
Even if they don’t turn out "good enough" in your eyes, the practice will be worth it. Even if you do it every day for a few min your progress will be visible
Your figures are already good enough in the boxy forms. You can definitely be that confident. 💚
This is my first time learning anything Perspective related.
I started with Elizas Course "Develop your own style" and did a lot figure drawing those past 2-3 months quite regularly. I mostly enjoy drawing references with the silhouette attempt and it works quite well with foreshortening with body poses sometimes.
Before I mostly painted portraits and always avoided the topic of perspective in general because I always felt it was boring.
But nowadays I really want to learn how to bring figures and portraits into more context. Which means that I want to learn how to tell a story with a drawing or painting.
But I really struggle with more complex and believable backgrounds, so this course sounds perfect.
I did a few quick sketches with the 1PP and enjoyed drawing straight lines 😅 But I really struggle to come up with backgrounds ideas and drawing more than one figure.
I also wanted to draw the surrounding of my kitchen and what is outsite the window, but I quickly realized that there are several PP and it is not possible to draw with only 1PP 😅 Too many weird angles of the walls and objects at once.
So I stick with simple shapes. My first sketch is from the airport sitting right in front of an arrival gate, that was quite simple. But it is already getting confusing when I want to draw something in my kitchen where a lot objects appears at once.
But I really enjoyed to sketch 1 PP with a video of a diver that I used as a reference.
Also the advice from Kristian Nee helped a lot to identifying the most dominant perspective system and make decisions based on what it best for the image. This helps a lot to see this whole Perspective topic more loose and free 👍 But I think this will come with practice ✨
What I still don't quite understand where to put the horizon line when there is non visible? Is the horizon line always at the height of the Perspective point?
Holy moly these are some really cool compositions!! Very inspiring and makes me want to pop out my sketchbook and keep experimenting with some more scenes!
I love these scenes!! I know you said you struggle with drawing people, but it is so awesome how you tried to draw the flying heroes to express your vision! This is so awesome Jake!
I find keeping proportions much more difficult in 1-point. I completely screwed up the first attempt. Then I broke the chair down into basic forms and tried again. The second attempt is slightly more successful?
Great breakdown of those sofa chairs.
As far as proportion goes, your room looks fairly accurate, although it feels a little bit tight. If you were super tall or standing on a ladder this would make sense because it feels like your head, or where you have your horizon line, would be quite close to the ceiling.
Also, I've seen you from Marshall's perspective course. Great to see a fellow student here as well!
Hey guys! I was just working on assignment one of the practical perspective course and I've run into a little confusion about using one point perspective that I was hoping to get some wisdom and help on. For the Kubrick 1 image, I understand how it is one point perspective. But for compositions like the Kubrick 2 photo, isn't it technically a 2 point perspective because the lines of the bed are foreshortening into a second vanishing point? I tried to draw in the red lines on the beds to show what I mean

Hey! Good point, and that is true.
If we’re being very technical about it, the beds are introducing another set of converging lines. That’s one of the reasons perspective can get a little messy once you move beyond textbook examples.
The practical nature of this course is that Rembert is usually focused on identifying the dominant perspective system in the image. In other words, which vanishing point is causing the most change and doing the most work in organizing the scene? In this case, the hallway, floor, ceiling, walls, and most of the major spatial cues are all converging toward a single central vanishing point.
While there technically is another vanishing point being created by the beds, it’s so far off-camera that the perspective distortion is relatively subtle and can almost be ignored for practical drawing purposes. That’s why the image is still being discussed as a one-point perspective setup.
That can be a little confusing, but it’s also where some of the subjective nature of perspective comes in. Perspective is ultimately a drawing tool, not just a mathematical system. If you look through Rembert’s work, you’ll notice that many of his drawings are technically “wrong” in places because he’s often making decisions based on what creates the clearest, most appealing image rather than what is mathematically perfect.
For the assignment, the goal is less about perfectly classifying every vanishing point in the scene and more about recognizing the dominant perspective structure that will have the biggest impact on the drawing.
So your observation is absolutely correct. There is another vanishing point at play, but for practical purposes it’s contributing so little to the overall image that Rembert would still treat the scene as fundamentally one-point perspective.
Here is my first little drawing for the assignment. Thank you for the ideas of the one point persp. as a means of staging and composition. Done in ballpoint pen, so all lines and mistakes are visible.

Awesome job!!
This took me longer than I thought it would but it was fun... 1 point perspective can be very intriguing.
Can't wait to open my sketchbook again tomorrow 😁

Great work!
Thinking of a composition of what to put in a one piont scene is harder than actully drawing a one piont perspective.

Great job! And yeah that’s the hard part!
that’s why it’s so important to study from life
