Hi, I'm Olga, and welcome to this perspective drawing party!

IS THIS CLASS FOR YOU? This class is suitable for complete beginners in interior sketching and perspective drawing in general. Interior design and architecture students will benefit the most from this class.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN? In these four lessons of the class, I will cover the basics of a 2-point perspective, the most important for interior designers and architects since it gives one of the best and the most dynamic views over the interior. Step by step, I'll take you through the basic perspective concepts like the horizon line, eye level, vanishing points, picture plane, and I will show you exactly how to use them in your interior drawings.

HOW YOUR PROFESSIONAL LIFE CAN CHANGE AFTER TAKING THIS CLASS? After mastering this new skill, perspective interior sketching, lots of my students took their interior design practice to the next level, where they can freely sketch their ideas in front of their clients. Some of my students became interior sketch artists and now earn money by drawing commissions for interior designers, design magazines, architectural firms.

YOUR BEAUTIFUL CLASS PROJECT: At the end of this class, you will draw a professional-looking interior sketch by using perspective basics I cover here. Your class project will be to draw a professional-looking bedroom sketch in a 2-point perspective. I'll show you step-by-step how to accomplish it by, first, introducing you to two of my favourite methods of building a 2-point perspective with scales (don't you worry, they're really easy and super fun!). Next, by making a pencil drawing of a bedroom and finally, a technique to colour it.  

WHAT EXACTLY WILL YOU LEARN HERE?

  • During this 30-min class, I will deconstruct and make perspective easy for you by sharing the best techniques and methods so you will learn how does perspective work in interior drawings.
  • Step by step I'll take you through the basic perspective concepts like the horizon line, eye level, vanishing points, picture plane and I will show you exactly how to use them in your interior drawings.
  • Together we will go over secrets of perspective so by finishing this class you will complete a couple of perspective exercises (lessons #1 and #2 after Intro) and draw your very own beautiful and professional-looking "Dream Bedroom" interior sketch by using a linear 2-point perspective (lessons #3 and #4 after Intro).

I'm sure that at the end of this class, you will fall in love with perspective as much as I do and finally will stop struggling with it.

All lessons in this class are short and sweet and packed with essential knowledge.

MATERIALS: As for the materials for this class, all you will need here is a pencil, an eraser, a ruler and a sheet of paper (plus a couple of markers or coloured pencils, but it is optional).

The debate surrounding hand sketching VS 3D imagery has become a hot theme these days. Having grown up with computers, today's interior design and architecture students are extremely adept at creating a computer-generated images, but often lack confidence in their freehand sketching skills, or even do not know how to sketch and how to use perspective at all.

Perspective freehand sketching has almost become a "lost art", and this class is perfect not only for students but also for design professionals, as well as for those who just want to learn to sketch and see things in a new light.

Sketching, and the careful observation that it entails is essential for the successful development of the next generation of designers. We can't underestimate the importance of being able to sketch out an idea on the fly and learning to see in a new way, especially for a visual industry.

As a teacher, I am surprised by how many artists, designers, and architects have never formally trained in perspective. Most of us had some lessons in high school or at the Art Academy, but typically those lessons more frighten then make perspective easy.

Please let me remind you that this is a beginner interior sketching class where you will master a 2-point perspective drawing from scratch, so don't hesitate, grab your pencil and paper and draw with me now!

Happy learning!
