In perspective

Architectural drawing techniques have always been very fun for me. We had previously learned orthographic and axonometric drawings. Now it was time for perspective drawing. Frankly, we all know something about perspective drawing. Every day, we see everything in some kind of perspective. Most of the photos or drawings we see around us can be perceived this way. Even if we don't know the technique, we all have a grasp on it more or less. Isn't the object that is close big and the one that is far away small? Basically, yes. But of course, in order to use it as an architectural technique, we need some reference points and lines. Even after understanding how these reference points are used, it can sometimes be confusing not to mix them up or to understand how to proceed.

After learning the basics of this drawing technique in class, they wanted us to apply it to our case studies from different angles. At first, since I understood the logic, I thought it would be easier to draw in AutoCAD. Because we had both our elevation and plan ready. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out exactly as I expected. First of all, as I mentioned above, I often got confused about which point came from where or what I should do next. After getting used to it, one of my biggest problems was getting lost between reference lines and being able to see what I was drawing. This made it so hard for me that I opened a new layer and moved the lines I didn't need to that layer. These two problems were the kind of problems that everyone can encounter. My last problem was more related to the fact that the lines of the house we were working on were not perpendicular but curved. I think these curves need to be shown with light and shadow, but I still don't have any idea how to show this in AutoCAD.
