The 3D graphic below shows a widescreen plasma TV on a rectangular stand - Leaving Cert DCG - Question A-3 - 2015

Using the plan view provided, project the necessary vertical and horizontal lines downwards from the corner points of the TV. These lines must extend to meet the perspective lines already drawn. This will help in accurately placing the TV in perspective.

For the left-hand side (LHS) of the TV, ensure that the previously drawn projection lines connect accurately to complete the shape of the TV. Pay special attention to maintaining proportion and perspective as viewed from the indicated vanishing point.

Similar to the TV, radiate lines from the corner points of the rectangular stand to the same vanishing point. Clearly depict these lines on your drawing to provide a cohesive perspective.

From the projected lines on the stand, determine the mid-section and project additional lines that will help visualize the height and width of the mid-section of the stand. Use light pencil marks until you are satisfied with the proportions.

Ensure that the perspective drawing includes the bottom section of the stand. Use the projection lines to guide the bottom outline, making sure it’s parallel to the front view in your design.

Finalize the drawing by enhancing the clarity of lines and outlines. Erase any unnecessary marks and add shading if required to denote volume and weight. Ensure the drawing is neat and legible to enhance its presentation quality.
