STEP 1: 1-point perspective indoors
Directions: On an 8.5” x 11” piece of white paper, draw a room using one point of perspective. Do NOT fold the paper to find the
center. Use this link, Paper Center, to find the paper center. The room should use the WHOLE
paper. 99% of the lines should be horizontal, vertical, or going towards the vanishing point. You can use the video links,
Draw a Living Room and Draw a Bedroom, as a resource, but make the room your own creation. Your room should
contain the following: Bed or couch, desk or table, window on the left or right wall, drawer with TV on the left or right
wall, rug, a ceiling light, and any other related items. Take pride in your work. If the drawing does not demonstrate an
understanding of perspective drawing principles, you will have to redo STEP 1. You do not have to color the drawing.

On an 8.5” x 11” piece of white paper, draw a room using two points of perspective. The room should use the WHOLE
paper. 99% of the lines should be vertical or going towards the vanishing points. You can use the video links, Draw a
Living Room and Draw a Bedroom Room, as a resource, but the room you are drawing should have the same features
as the one point perspective drawing you did for STEP 1. Take pride in your work. If the drawing does not demonstrate
an understanding of perspective drawing principles, you will have to redo STEP 2. You do not have to color the
drawing. If you have any trouble, Mr. H is always happy to help.
