How to Draw a Room in One Point Perspective

Introduction

• Instructor: Tom
• Platform: Circle Line Art School on YouTube
• Purpose: Guide beginners to draw a room using one-point perspective
• Key Concept: Two parallel lines converge at a vanishing point on the horizon line

Steps to Draw a Room

Step 1: Draw Horizon and Vanishing Point

• Draw a horizontal line slightly above the middle of the page
• Mark the center of this line with a cross (vanishing point)
• Ensure the vanishing point is on the horizon line

Step 2: Create the Back Wall

• Draw a rectangle for the back wall, centered on the page
• Horizon line should pass through the rectangle, with the vanishing point in the center

Step 3: Draw the Side Walls

• From the vanishing point, draw four lines extending to the corners of the rectangle (back wall)
• Use a ruler for straight lines if needed

Step 4: Add a Door

• Draw a line from the vanishing point towards the left side of the paper
• Draw two vertical lines from this diagonal line to form the door

Step 5: Incorporate a Table

• Draw two lines from the vanishing point towards the viewer to form sides of the table
• Draw two horizontal lines parallel to other horizontal lines for the tabletop
• Draw four table legs as vertical lines (two at front, two at back)
• Add details like thickness to the tabletop and the table legs

Step 6: Draw Floorboards

• Add evenly spaced marks at the base of the back wall (rectangle)
• Draw lines from the vanishing point through these marks to form floorboards

Step 7: Add a Window

• Draw lines from the vanishing point towards the right for the top and bottom of the window
• Use two vertical lines between these diagonals
• Create window thickness by drawing a smaller rectangle within the window

Step 8: Add Details

• Add a door handle to the door
• Erase unnecessary lines on the back wall
• Add a large window using a rectangle and vanishing point for thickness
• Draw a light fixture: start with a vertical line from the ceiling, add a squashed ellipse for the base of the light shade, and complete with two lines forming a triangle
