Linear Perspective

This assignment was to draw linear perspectives. The first part of the assignment was practice linear perspectives of an exterior view or interior view, which I drew an interior of a room. The second was to draw an interior design with a door opening to the exterior, three framed windows or framed artwork on the side wall, a table, a couch, two chairs, a rug, floor tiles, ceiling beams, two recessed lights, and a wall shelf. These drawings were composed on sketch paper, with the second on a bigger piece of sketch paper, and graphite. The third part of the assignment was an assessment to compose a linear perspective of the school hallway.

The drawings utilized the value strip. They were drawn using a mechanical pencil, which has a 2 HB hardness, to sketch out the lines of my object. To create depth in the drawing, I valued the "closer" lines in darker graphite, either pushing harder on the mechanical pencil and valued the "farther" lines in lighter graphite by using pushing lighter on the mechanical pencil. For the school hallway, I used a 0.05 point pen to go over the "farther" lines and a 0.8 point pen to go over the "closer" lines. I then added some jagged lines and valued some areas to make the hallway look dim and decrepit.

This assignment reminded me of when I took a Residential Architecture class. In the class, we drew blueprints of an interior and this assignment I drew the actual interior of rooms. If I were to do this again, I would add more detail to the School Hallway Perspective.
