Alright, now that you've spent some time on your 1-point perspective rooms, let me show you how I'd approach this project. I'll also give you some handy tips to help guide you along the way.

Posting my after - demo 1-point perspective drawing of a kitchen, still struggling, but the improvements since last time are visible I´d say :)
Next time I think I´ll try doing a grid too, Stans demo (as always) proved to be a great lesson on why use methods like these...
Any criticisms appreciated!

Awesome work! It's tough to pick out anything to critique here because you really nailed it. The only thing that I saw, which is very minor, is that the cabinets on the right side are a bit shorter than the cabinets on the front facing wall. Which, they very well could be because it's your room, your rules haha. Increasing the height would avoid the tangent with the corner of the range hood, though.

The First image on the left is following along stan as I watch the demo. I noticed I learn better by watching first than rewatching it again and following stan as this gives me an idea of his thinking process.
the 2nd image from the left is my warm up and two thumbnails that allowed me to play with an idea. Thumbnails do help a lot!
the 3rd image from the left is my first part of this assignment. I only used ruler for the boarders, the horizon lines and the 1 point perspective lines, everything else was without ruler.
the last image which is my first attempt done. It is a UFO abduction using my favorite warm up, mushrooms! lol. I used the circumference technique I learned from @Melanie Scearce for the UFOs since their circles or ellipses.
Will watch critique next..

Well done, that made me laugh!

Practice done after watching the demo trying to come up with something awkward to figure things out I think I need to practice not getting too carried away with perspective that I forget line quality.

I tired to make them small, but I think I need more practice I did get lost a little. Especially in my lines

I've tried to draw a dinner, the grid was helpful but I didn't calculated the spaces very well...

The grid was a helpful way to help me get the proper angles, but apparently my grid borders were skewed...haha. But it was still a useful tool to pick up!

The demo helped a lot! I first tried the subway and liked it so much, I drew my bedroom from memory (with occasional jaunts upstairs to take a quick look based on the POV). I admit that getting the ability to use the ruler to lay in the grid was too tempting to resist when adding my initial verticals and horizontals, such as the mattress, doors and door frames and the bookshelf. The remainder of it I largely did by hand but I found that removing that variable of having to create a straight line by hand, helped me to better control the other variables such as how to imagine objects in a three-dimensional space, which was challenging, but a fun brain exercise. Again, I did this from memory, which I don't usually do, but I really like getting lost in that process. It seemed to exercise another part of my brain that I don't usually.

I also could not for the life of me figure out the perspective with the dresser on the far right, so I just made it fully horizontal with the picture plane. This makes it look like it's a lot more in the foreground than the other objects in the room. Maybe like the edge of the mattress I need to draw the front plane of the dresser at an angle toward the vanishing point? Actually, now that I see it here, I think that's exactly what I need to do.

Finally got around to finishing this project and hopefully will catch up with the class soon! I drew a library type of room and got a bit lost in the details. I also took the sketch into clip studio and did a lineart overtop to see how it'd look cleaned up. I used the ruler for the long lines digitally but practiced freehand for all the books. I feel it'd look better doing it all one way though and maybe using a textured brush.
Regardless, it took a lot of time that I wish I spent just drawing more of these in my sketchbook... lesson learned I guess!

I'm so impressed you committed to drawing all of those books! I started with one shelf, got restless and abandoned that. I admire your patience. :)

Hello! This was pretty fun to do! From some references and from imagination is did a hospital corridor. I’m pretty happy with how it came out, even though it’s messy in some spots, and I think I should’ve added a bit more details. The bathroom sign/poster has a bands logo on it, if you can name the band I’ll give you a virtual fist bump lol! Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Have a great day!

I made another attempts with the grid method. The first one resembles my original post. I think I really over-complicated it for myself, especially with the vanishing point being outside my room. I really like the 2nd one. I know my line quality is not the best but, I think I did a much better job of accurately conveying depth.
Please, any constructive criticism is welcome!

Attempt with the grid to help. Definitely makes things easier, but i'd like to be more confident with not using it before moving on so im going to try some more. Any feedback welcome.

Help! I’m just trying to do what Stan did but in a different perspective. However I have a strong intuitive feeling that the purple part shouldn’t be chopped off. Can someone help me out? Thank you!

I gave it some more thoughts and I think this one is correct.

Much messier that I would have liked. Also, not happy with my line quality (I tend to mess up at longer lines). But at least It's from memory :)

This is a simplified drawing of my office. I thought it was simple enough, but it took me so long to figure out the position of each line using X-ray vision. I need more practice drawing straight lines.

A new attempt at level 1. This time I gave the grid a try.

HELP PLEASE. So 1 point perspective, just so I understand from outside the box to inside the box. Take the left box on the horizon line, which side wall do you keep? The one you see or the invisible one? A or B. Do you keep the ceiling too for this horizon line vanishing point? Thank yall for your responses

I have attached an image with black lines representing the visible sides of the box and red lines showing the hidden sides of the box.
it might help you to draw a few of these boxes with this kind of an x-ray vision with all sides drawn. You can then play with line weight and make the visible sides thicker.
