In this task I was set to try and create drawings of two rooms through both 1-point and 2-point perspective. First I'll explain what the two of these are.
1-point perspective is a kind of linear perspective that consists of only 1 vanishing point. Vanishing points being the spot on the horizon where the parallel lines all around the drawing eventually end. 1-point perspective is the most simple way to covey the illusion of a 3D environment within your drawings.
2-point perspective is a second kind of linear perspective which consists of 2 vanishing points as an oppose to just 1. This allows for more complex but more accurate and/or detailed 3D illusions within a drawing.
For my 1 point perspective drawing I took an example of a simple room.
Here I tried to use the vanishing point and the four parallel lines in each corner of the room to help present each other detail of the room correctly, from the directions of the connecting parts of the floorboards to the window edges. I noticed that the lines did not correctly connect to each other so I made a more broad vanishing area as an oppose to a point for this example, next time I'd definitely pick a better room to work with.
For the 2-point perspective drawing I chose a more complex room to try and challenge myself a bit more. Chose an image of a small bathroom.
I feel as if despite being more complicated, this drawing went slightly better then the 1-point perspective drawing had done. Although one did not fit on the page, I managed to correctly convey evidence for 2 vanishing points being present in the image. A part I struggled with was the complicated shape of the cabinet however.
