Here's a quick warm-up exercise for one-point perspective:

  • Start by copying the page I drew.
  • Set it aside and sketch your own boxes in one-point perspective.
  • Draw these boxes in different directions - up, down, left, right, and into the distance.
  • Vary the box sizes and dimensions.

Remember, warmups are meant to be repeated for 5-10 minutes before drawing sessions. Also, don't forget about the warmups from earlier in the course that help you improve your straight lines (Straight Taper, Trace the Ruler, Connect the Dots)

I love the animations some students did :D SO COOL!! I never studied perspective before so I’ve been working on it lately while watching other videos and exercises online. There are a TON of resources so it can get overwhelming really quickly because it feels like a REALLY DENSE topic. The good thing is that it seems like one of the most important fundamentals for achieving great drawings, so I’m really excited. This is probably going to be painful, but also really rewarding. I’ll also be attempting the “Drawabox 250 Boxes” challenge later on…

1 point perspective warm up - this revealed me on how bad my straight lines are. I guess I'll have a plenty of the straight line practices in this module :P

I'm still getting used to the iPad and apple pencil. It was especially hard to draw the bottom of the green box on the right above the horizon since its bottom lines are so close to each other.

The perspective isn't a problem, but I still need serious help with my straight lines 😭. I used a ruler a bit here though 👀
@veryartthing
Unsure on if these are drawn correctly. I think they are but I've always struggled with perspective in the past.

Boxes, boxes, boxes. Who knew drawing them could be so much fun. Bonus discovery, using the overhand grip gives me much better control drawing straight lines.

feels good drawing some boxes :)

After lesson 1 and 2 from Draw A Box, this feels strangely familiar. Specially after going through gestures. It's nice to be thinking more "logistically"

Draw a Box coming in handy
Martha Muniz
Awesome mileage! Don't be shy with extending the lines receding towards the vanishing point even further past the cube itself to help guide you in this warm-up. It helps train and correct your eye/hand when placing the receding edges, and it's especially helpful as you place cubes further and further from the vanishing point.

Here's what I drew for the box warmup.
