Sketching and Perspective
Lecture 5 – 2024-2025
Dr. Toma Gabor
TA Riyad Kishi
At the end of this lecture students are expected to learn the following:
CLO3: Illustrate perspective drawings techniques using one and two vanishing points
perspective in presenting design solutions.
2-point perspective + DiHerent types of rendering
Steps to follow in linear perspec0ve
1. Copy with simple lines the given image
Make the same drawing on two pages
1.1. Observe converging lines in order to find the horizon line
1.2. Use the HB 0.5 mechanical pencil to draw the construc@on lines. Do not apply pressure on the
paper.
Prac@ce on another paper: hold the pencil far from the @p and draw relaxed, leaving the
mark on the paper by using only the weight of the pencil.
1.3. The vanishing points should be marked on the horizon line with one perpendicular stroke on
the horizon line. DO NOT mark the vanishing points by drawing a dot.
1.4. All the converging lines should be mee@ng visually sharply in the vanishing points. But DO NOT
clog the vanishing points with lines.
Example:
conveerging lines
V1 horizon line V2
2. On the first drawing use the fine liners and markers in order to obtain the “exo@c drawing”
2.1. Observe that the parallel lines used on one surface are not repea@ng on another surface.
2.2. Use various thickness fine liners for hatching and cross hatching
2.3. Alternate white surfaces with hatched and cross hatched ones.
2.4. Use the markers for the flat colored surfaces – observe that the flat colored surfaces are used
only for some background elements and the deep shadows to suggest volume and space.
3. On the second drawing – the “minimalist one” – use the 0.5 mechanical pencils (HB and 2B), the
graphite and the colored pencils, and sparsely the fine liners only to emphasize some of the lines in
the end.
