Perspective Drawing by Hand Continued - Hand or computer drawing?

(to go straight to computer aided perspectives)

Step 3

On that same elevation we need to establish what height we are looking from and where we are looking. Eye level is the height and the vanishing point is where we are looking. Eye height for a tall male is about 1600 to 1700 millimetres from the floor and for a female 1400 to 1500 from the floor. The vanishing point should not be in the middle of the room or too close to the edges of the room.

Step 4

You now or in need to link the corners of the room to be vanishing point. The divisions that mark where the tiles are should also have a line drawn from them to the vanishing point.

Step 5

We now select a “spectator” spot outside of the view but on the same height line as the eye level line and the vanishing point. From this point (usually to the opposite side of the vanishing point and the same distance out,) draw a line to the far bottom corner. Where this line intersects the tile lines heading towards the vanishing point, draw horizontal lines across. These form the depth of the tiles (at 300 millimetres divisions or one foot divisions). This grid that you now see is based on 300 millimetres each way and can be used to determine positions and sizes of objects that you may wish to add.eg a table or chair or vase of flowers.
