Basic Perspective Drawing - Final Assignment

[Olivia Yerxa]

Hello everyone, I finished my assignment. I invite any critique to help me improve my visual understanding of perspective drawing.

@Olivia-Yerxa sorry your request for critique has been overlooked. I think that is because you did a decent job of capturing the room in two-point perspective. The viewer certainly gets a sense of the space and the furniture in it.

For what it’s worth, I have a few suggestions you may want to consider.

First, your vanishing points are too close together causing the scene to be very dynamic and results in an extreme wide-angle lens effect. This is akin to placing a camera too close to a scene; it creates some distortion. In a bedroom scene it is often desirable to convey a calm and serene view. The fix is to move your VP’s quite a bit further apart.

Second, would be all of the circles are not aligned with an awareness of the perspective context you’ve created. The degree of foreshortening is not correct for each plane and the alignment of the minor diameter is not correct either. These are refinements but I think you see how they can lift your drawing to the next level.

Again, sorry you had to wait so long to get a reply.
