Two-Point Perspective in Everyday Life.


Here are several examples of two-point perspective, any of which could be an excellent subject to
base a work of art on. There are similar two-point perspective subjects all around you, with which
you can apply the principles that you are learning here to create some beautiful drawings.

This interior photo is entirely in one-point perspective, with
the exception of the open door, which is neither parallel nor
perpendicular to the viewer, but on an angle. This gives it its
own vanishing point.


This aerial view in New York City is also mostly in one-point
perspective, with the exception of the one building that is on
an angle and whose sides converge toward their own vanish-
ing points on the same horizon line.
