Pencil Drawing - A Beginner's Guide

(Barré) #1

Two-Point Perspective



  1. Draw your horizon line on the plane.

  2. Instead of one point, mark two points, which
    will serve as your vanishing points on the horizon
    line preferably on the right and the left side of
    the horizon line.

  3. Draw your construction grid by finding below
    your horizon line the middle. The middle is the
    point where all the lines coming from the
    vanishing points meet.

  4. Draw six lines coming from each of the
    vanishing points passing the middle.

  5. Draw your middle vertical line that is at 90-
    degree angle with your horizon line, which will
    serve as the corner of your box.

  6. Draw the top and the bottom lines connecting
    your middle vertical line to each of your vanishing
    points.

  7. From your middle vertical line, draw one vertical
    line to the right and another to the left depending
    on how you want your box to look, as these would
    determine the length and width of your box.

  8. From your vanishing points, draw the line
    connecting your right vanishing point to the left
    vertical line and your left vanishing point to the
    right vertical line.


By now, you figure out the two-point
perspective box. You may now start shading
your two-point perspective box and erase grid
lines passing inside the box.
