For this exercise I was asked to draw a view through a doorway inside a building. I was fairly limited to where I could do this as we are currently on lockdown & I live in quite a small house. I decided to do my drawing at the entrance of my kitchen. I chose my kitchen because of the wood panels on my floor and the angular cupboards and table and chairs. I positioned myself on the floor to draw.
I drew in line and didn’t use a ruler. I drew on a3 paper in my sketchbook with a hb penciI.

After I finished my drawing I put tracing paper over the top of my drawing and drew over my parallel lines (mostly of the floor & sofa) using a biro to see if they all receded into a single vanishing point. Unfortunately they met in a variety of places. (I did make the mistake of adding lines of the sofa which was positioned at a different angle!) I then added the lines (pink) of the fridge and storage cupboards, this again showed similar results.

My next step was do the drawing again, only this time using a ruler and making sure all of my lines receded into a single vanishing point. Below is my ruler drawing:

This drawing is a lot more accurate than my original drawing, thus using a ruler and making sure all diagonal lines receded to the same point worked effectively. However this drawing feels more clinical than my first and seems to lack the charm of my original.
