Introduction to 1-Point Perspective Sketching

In this course I want to introduce how to create believable architecture… like room interiors, building exteriors and 3D objects… in 1-point perspective sketches.

The goal here is to create ‘concept drawings’…which are the first step in creating finished artworks.  Concept drawings are used by all types of artists including: fine art painters and drawers, architects, illustrators, graphic designers, concept artists, industrial designers, set designers, interior designers, landscape designers and many more.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• how to use ‘draw-through’ sketching technique
• how to draw 2D rectangles and 3D boxes
• how to make a 3D drawing grid
• how to draw 8-head proportioned figures
• how to draw a room interior with figures

The course supply list is very simple:

• drawing (pencil, ballpoint pen, plain paper)
• smudging & erasing (smudging stump, kneaded eraser, Tombow MonoZero eraser)
• edges & angles (ruler, T-square, a 30/60/90 set square)
• Krylon workable spray fixative

And for best results, I like a workspace with:

• a rigid drawing board (suitable for T-square use)
• an adjustable easel or drawing table
• good lighting
• a separate/ventilated spray area
