Single point perspective


This is a quick 10 minute sketch of a hallway created by using a graphite stick, which shows the theory of single point perspective.

The lines of the corridor are directed towards the vanishing point giving it a good three dimensional view. When looking at the drawing the eye falls exactly on the wall where the vanishing point is. The shadows are nicely cast on the wall and in the entries where the bedroom doors are.

 It is not a perfect drawing, because the view appears to be leaning to the left and it does not give stability to the drawing. The lines on the fire doors that come towards the viewer are not straight and give off a somehow peculiar feeling. It is best seen at the bottom of the doors where the lines are bent, making it look very unrealistic. The panels with notes on them look unrealistic as well for they could have been worked in more detail and they also don’t look symmetrical, as they should be. The light in the back could have used better shading and more detail. The drawing would have benefited from more detailed shading for better depth.
