Ok, first select a sheet of A4 layout paper, marker paper, or if your just getting started, plain A4 photocopy paper. Tape this down onto your desk. Now draw a horizontal line towards the top of the sheet as shown.Mark a dot for the vanishing point. Then draw the top edge of the rectangle 13mm down from the dot. Using the measurements shown, draw the rest of the shape. Then draw a base line 4cm from the bottom of the shape.

Now, using your ruler or set square, draw perspective i.e. 'vanishing lines' from the dot (v.p or 'vanishing point' )
Ok, next draw another horizontal line 2.5cm up from the base line. Then where the line crosses the lower vanishing lines, draw two lines vertically up.
Now let's create the illusion of depth! Draw a heavy line around the outside of the larger rectangle and also along the top vanishing lines - only a short length though. Finally heavy-in the rear top line.
Now we have to divide the inner rectangle into 4 sections for the drawers. I use a ruler. Place the zero on the top line. Then place the number 4 on the bottom line. using a pencil, mark a dot at 1,2 and 3 on the ruler. These are your drawer positions
Okay, now now draw horizontal lines across for the drawers. For the shaped top, extend your previously drawn top lines and add wider vanishing lines for the edges. note the lightly pencilled curvy legs drawn in.
Now carefully double up the lines where you've just pencilled the drawers to add a bevel to the mirrored fronts. Ink in the curvy legs, add small circles for the handles and finally draw in a table lamp of your choice!
Now grab a thick black marker and ink in the shadow, not forgetting the legs too. |
