Urban sketching is the practice of sketching on location and from life. As such we tend to think of urban sketches capturing outside scenes. However, many urban sketchers also turn their attention to inside spaces such as cafes, museums, and in more recent times their own houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trying to figure out how to sketch an interior can be tricky and perspective certainly plays an important part. In this post, we are going to consider the different elements that make a sketch of an interior successful along with examples from some of my favourite urban sketchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also have some posts that discuss and give examples of how to sketch cars<\/a><\/strong> and architecture<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing in Perspective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One Point Perspective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One point perspective is where all lines of an image converge towards one vanishing point on the horizon line. If you imagine standing in the middle of a road looking towards the horizon line, you can imagine all the lines angled to one point in the distance.  If you can\u2019t imagine this, here\u2019s a photo of what I mean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the video below, the artist demonstrates step by step how to go about drawing a room in one-point perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the drawing is a little tighter than we would probably want to achieve in our urban sketch, watching the process of how to draw a convincing room in this way is a great first step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sort of video is aimed more at architecture or interior design students, however, I think it\u2019s useful to learn from a precise method to then loosen up and imprint your own style on things once you\u2019ve learned the fundamentals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
