      I did a couple of pictures for the final assignment in SVS's basic 2 point perspective course. My question is (and maybe I'm over thinking it): How does one draw through walls? I have my room set up with the desk facing the wall (I may have changed the layout a bit from the actual assignment ;)). However, I want to see the face of my character working at the desk, which means I'm looking at them through a wall... Is there a better way to do this? I think I treated it like a movie set, and looked 'through' the walls. But I'm not sure if that just leaves it feeling like there's a desk in the middle of the room.

      Thanks for any advice!

      Cheers,

        Hi Cayleen

        I am not sure this is going to be very helpful. You are right, it looks like the desk is in the middle of the room, I prefer the first composition though. You might either have to change the layout of the bedroom or show a side view where you can see the desk against the wall. Not sure this is very helpful.

        Best,
        Catarina

          Pretend theres a camera being used. You have a nice layout, but if you put a camera into the room, what would be the limitations of the pov?

          You can also cut the edges of the drawing off sooner.

            @gavpartridge One was supposed to be 1 point, and one 2 point. I struggle with perspective drawing. I thought I was doing good with that 2 point one, but I've had two family members also point out it was isometric ;). It might actually be a mix of perspective and isometric? Because I'm that amazing ;). Thank you for the observation though!
