Final Answer:
To complete this one-point perspective drawing, follow these steps for each shape:
1.
Identify the Vanishing Point: Locate the single black dot in the center of the horizontal line (the horizon line). All depth lines will connect to this point.
2.
Draw Orthogonal Lines: For every corner of a rectangle that faces you, place a ruler on that corner and draw a straight, light line connecting it directly to the vanishing point. Do this for all four corners of each shape.
3.
Determine Depth: Decide how far back you want each object to go. Draw a vertical line and a horizontal line between the orthogonal lines you just drew to create the "back" face of the 3D form. Shapes closer to the vanishing point will appear smaller/farther away; shapes farther from the center will appear larger/closer.
4.
Complete the Form: Connect the corners of the back face to the corresponding corners of the front face using the orthogonal lines as guides.
5.
Clean Up: Erase the parts of the orthogonal lines that pass through the solid object or extend beyond the back face. Darken the final outlines of your 3D boxes.
*Note: Rectangles positioned above the horizon line should show their bottom face. Rectangles below the horizon line should show their top face. Rectangles to the left of the vanishing point should show their right side, and those to the right should show their left side.*
