Hey folks!
I’ve been working on this interior for the CBP class and I’m getting hung up on the perspective of the stairs. Bare in my I didn’t use a perspective grid for this drawing and I’m just sort of using faux perspective because it’s something I want to improve but I just can’t seem to get these stairs to look right. At the very least I want them to look normal enough that they won’t stand out.
@griffin Try to make the long lines of the staircase match the direction of the lines on the right side wall 
@griffin @NessIllustration is spot on. If you get the perspective on the stairs to line up with the horizon set in the rest of the piece and the lines on the right wall, I think you’re good to go.
I just did a visual Horizon like sketch in my head, and it looks to be good. I can do a more detailed analysis when I get home if you’d like.
@griffin
Here's a visual depiction of what @NessIllustration and @ajillustrates wrote above. (They have it exactly right)
@davidhohn thanks so much! Do you think it could be problematic that my drawing doesn’t line up with the correct perspective lines or does it work in this case since I’m only going for semi realistic perspective? I don’t want to be bound by the rules of perspective but I don’t want anything to be distractingly off either.
Here’s the revised version with @ajillustrates and @NessIllustration’s advice. 
@griffin I love to cheat with perspective! But it has to be done in a certain way so that it doesn't look "wrong". In this case, since you're following the perspective faithfully everywhere except in that one area, it ends up looking a bit off, like a mistake instead of intentional.

@nessillustration by "that one area" do you mean the stairs? Because I’ve corrected those as best as I can I’m not sure sure what would make them more accurate.
@nessillustration I think I should clarify that that the stairs are not set into the wall but instead protrude out into the space. At least that is what I’m hoping to convey
@griffin Oh no your new version is great, it's bang on! I was answering your question regarding the original version and cheating perspective

@nessillustration gotcha gotcha, thank you!
@griffin Hello, thank you for sharing your sketch. I really love the feel of the room. In your updated version, your work to align the stairs and the wall helps, but as David Hohn's example shows well, the wall, the stairs, and the floor should all flow to the same vanishing point. As it is, it looks like the floor is tilting down. Best wishes!
