PERSPECTIVE DRAWING FOR INTERIOR SPACE - Fairchild Books

this chapter illustrates how to draw basic geometric forms such as solid and transparent cubes,
pyramids, cones, and cylinders. we start with one-point forms and finish with two-point forms
to create the basic foundation for drawing in perspective. these forms are the building blocks
for creating more complex images like furniture and complete rooms, which are covered in later
chapters. by the end of this chapter you will have the ability to create basic geometrics such as the cube,
pyramid, cone, and cylinder. you will be able to draw these forms as solid and transparent objects in onepoint
and two-point perspective. also this chapter introduces the idea of volume of objects and the space
between those objects, so that the picture plane becomes an infinite three-dimensional space.
for instructional purposes, most of the chapter’s images in this book were created in autocaD.
this was done to create a consistent step-by-step process. table 2.1 shows the basic lines used in the
drawings.
