@Blima-Spetner It is a bit challenging from the photo to be sure but it looks like you are using two point perspective but that two immovable vanishing points on a single horizon line are not being used for the architecture. Furniture that does not follow the line of the architecture would not use the same vanishing points but would use the same horizon line. Maybe draw a rectangle in the middle of your page that is half the size of your page and draw the image within that rectangle. This will allow you to have vanishing points well off of the image itself but still on the page. I’m wondering how you established your vanishing points for this drawing? Did you tape the paper down and add the points to your drawing surface and off of the page? That would work well too as long as you do not move the paper. I tried to see where your vanishing points and horizon line were but the varied from one another. They were close though, but still look a bit off to me. Once again it is hard to know by the image so I could be wrong. I’m not sure about teacher feedback on the forums. I have not been on for a long time though I am an “SVS OG”. You can look at anyone’s profile and see when they were on line last. The drawing is mostly good. You changed the scale of a few things from the prompt which I’m sure is fine as long as you did it on purpose I would think. The only thing that is very off is the table and chair I. The foreground. The horizon line is much lower for this than for the rest of the image. There can only ever be one horizon line. That is our eye level. Lastly the ellipse for the mirror you added has the mirror tilted to the left. Make sure you construct a box for the mirror and build the ellipse within it for this exercise. ….hopefully some of this is helpful.

This crude animation shows how changing the vanishing points changes how the room looks..none of them are right or wrong..any could work. The question is how do we want it to look. I think having perspective be forced or extreme may not be the best way to go. Our perspective should not draw attention to itself. It should just seem right to the viewer. I think in reality it does not have to be perfect as long as it looks believable…but for the assignment I think we are going for perfect as a learning exercise. The program I used for the gif below actually distorts the image depending on the lens you choose so lines do not line up perfectly ….but it works to illustrate the point hopefully.
