Tips and Tricks To Execute These Drawings To Perfection
Setting Up the Two-Point Perspective Grid
First things first, letโs get that perspective grid in place. In theory, this should be the easiest part: draw a horizon line, pick two vanishing points on either end, and then draw a few lines radiating from those points to create the framework for your drawing.
In reality, this step involves approximately 17 minutes of frantically searching for your ruler, which you swear was right here a minute ago. You eventually find it behind your sketchbook, but only after discovering that your eraser has mysteriously vanished. This is fine. Weโre fine.
Now that youโve got your ruler (and your sanity) back, draw that horizon line. The trick here is to avoid the temptation to place it too high or too low.
A middle-ground horizon line gives you that perfect Goldilocks zone where your bedroom drawing doesnโt look like youโre peering into it from an antโs perspective or, conversely, hanging out on the ceiling like some kind of bedroom-dwelling bat.
Choosing Your Vanishing Points (A.K.A. Trying Not to Ruin Your Life)
Now comes the fun part: picking the two vanishing points.
These are like the bedposts of your drawing, holding the whole thing together. However, choosing the wrong spots for these points is the artistic equivalent of dropping your ice cream cone on the ground.
One false move, and suddenly your bedroom looks like itโs either collapsing in on itself or expanding into the fourth dimension.
I find that spacing the vanishing points wayyyy out toward the edges of the paper helps keep things looking more realistic.
Of course, this means I often end up drawing on my desk, the floor, and occasionally, my own hand. But thatโs a small price to pay for a room that doesnโt look like itโs been hit by an earthquake.
Drawing the Basic Structure
Okay, so youโve got your vanishing points set up, your perspective lines radiating out like laser beams, and your confidence is at an all-time high. Now comes the part where you actually start sketching the walls, floor, and ceiling of your bedroom.
Hereโs where you need to take a deep breath, channel your inner Zen master, and hope to whatever deity you believe in that you donโt mess it up.
I always start with the back wall because itโs the anchor of the whole room.
Once thatโs in place, you can start drawing the side walls receding towards your vanishing points.
Just remember: every line thatโs supposed to be horizontal should actually not be horizontal at all. It should head toward one of those vanishing points like itโs late for a very important meeting.
At this point, if youโre anything like me, youโll start second-guessing every single line you draw. โIs that really going to the vanishing point?โ youโll mutter to yourself, squinting at your paper like it just insulted your mother. โOr is it off by half a degree? Oh god, itโs ruined, isnโt it?โ
Spoiler alert: itโs not ruined.
Just breathe.
Adding Furniture
Now that youโve got your basic room structure, itโs time to add some furniture. And whatโs a bedroom without a bed? Easy, right? Hahahaha. Wrong. Drawing a bed in two-point perspective is like trying to solve a Rubikโs Cube while riding a unicycle.
The bed, of course, needs to follow the perspective lines, which means every single angle needs to be aligned with your vanishing points. I like to start with a simple rectangular box shape to get the basic volume of the bed down. Once you have that, you can add in the mattress, the pillows, and, if youโre feeling particularly ambitious, some crumpled blankets that look like theyโve been thrown there by a sleep-deprived demon.
Oh, and donโt even get me started on drawing the headboard. I once spent a solid 45 minutes trying to draw a tufted headboard that ended up looking like a giant marshmallow had swallowed the bed whole. Pro tip: keep it simple. Your sanity will thank you.
The Dreaded Wardrobe
Next up: the wardrobe. This is the moment you realize that, for some reason, youโve chosen to draw a massive, ornate wardrobe that wouldnโt look out of place in Beauty and the Beast.
Why?
Because you thought it would look cool. Thatโs why.
Hereโs where things get really interesting. You have to draw the wardrobe so it lines up with the perspective grid and make it look like itโs three-dimensional.
Draw a vertical line for the edge closest to you, and then draw the sides receding towards your vanishing points.
If youโre like me, youโll end up with a wardrobe that looks like itโs going to tip over and crush you in your sleep. But hey, at least itโs in perspective!
Adding details like handles, drawers, and intricate carvings? Yeah, thatโs where I usually say, โNope, weโre going minimalist.โ
Windows and Doors
At this point, youโre probably thinking, โItโs a bedroom! It needs windows and a door, right?โ
Sure, why not.
But let me tell you: windows and doors are sneaky little jerks. They seem innocent, but drawing them in perspective is like trying to teach a cat to fetch.
The trick is to start with a basic rectangular shape and then make sure every corner is angled toward a vanishing point.
Simple, right?
WRONG.
Because now you have to add details like window panes and door frames, and suddenly itโs 2 AM, youโre on your third cup of coffee, and youโre seriously questioning your life choices.
Adding the Finishing Touches
Congratulations, youโve survived the hardest parts! Now itโs time to add the finishing touches that make your bedroom actually look like, well, a bedroom.
This includes little things like bedside tables, lamps, and maybe a rug that ties the room together (but definitely does not obey any of the perspective rules).
One of my favorite tricks is to add some shadowing to give the room a sense of depth.
But beware: too much shading and your cozy bedroom starts looking like a scene from a horror movie. You want just enough to suggest that, yes, thereโs a light source in this room, but no, itโs not a creepy flickering bulb.
Accepting Your Masterpiece
Hereโs the final step: put down your pencil, take a step back, and admire your work.
Sure, maybe the bed looks like itโs hovering slightly above the ground. And maybe the wardrobe is a little lopsided. And maybe you accidentally drew the window at an angle that suggests the house is slowly sliding into the sea.
But you know what?
Itโs your bedroom drawing, and itโs beautiful in its own chaotic way.
The truth is, drawing a bedroom in two-point perspective is not for the faint of heart. Itโs a rollercoaster of emotions that will test your patience, your pencilโs durability, and your will to live.
But at the end of the day, thereโs nothing quite as satisfying as seeing that room come together, even if itโs held together by sheer willpower and a lot of eraser shavings.
So, if youโre about to embark on your own journey into the world of two-point perspective bedroom drawings, I have only one piece of advice: have fun with it.
Because if youโre not laughing maniacally while trying to figure out how to draw a dresser drawer in perspective, are you really even living?
Now, if youโll excuse me, I need to go find my eraser. Iโm 90% sure itโs hiding behind the bed I just drew.
