Never forget to HAVE FUN with this project.
Draw something silly, don’t take the prompts (or the project for that matter) too seriously. Don’t get stuck in the perfectionism trap. It’s better to have fun making something imperfect than to stress out trying to get every detail right or (even worse) trying to be as good as “everyone else”. Spoiler alert: comparison will destroy your creativity.
Sketch the first thing that comes to mind without thinking about it too much. Don’t think about what you want the end result to be, just start drawing. Add weird lines here and there and whatever color pops in your head. It doesn’t have to match “your style” or even look good for that matter. See what happens when you let your brain flow.
Week 35: Bedroom
One of the most important things in life happens in the bedroom. We crave it when we’ve gone too long without it. We’ll take a quick one when we can get it, but we love it when it lasts a long time. Kids haven’t got a clue why the grown-ups like it so much. And without it, humanity literally could not survive. I think you know what I’m talkin’ about . . . sleep! 😴
I drew the scene above using principles I taught in my tutorial on using perspective in Procreate (link below). In the video, I walk you through, step-by-step, how to draw a bedroom, in perspective. The basics of the process are:
For the brushes, I used a couple of experimental ones and brushes from the upcoming update to my Basic Toolkit! This set is quickly shifting from one I only used occasionally to one I want to use all the time. Update coming soon. Stay tuned!

Have you ever wondered how to use perspective in drawing? How do you convey a sense of depth and space in your art? In this Procreate tutorial, I’ll teach the difference between one and two point perspective and when to use each one.
