Gallery: Two-Point Perspectives.
In this gallery of drawings, you will find several of the many ways that two-point perspective can be
used to create very interesting drawings. As an exercise to sharpen your understanding of the prin-
ciples of two-point perspective, place a large sheet of tracing paper over each of the examples and
construct a perspective diagram, as discussed on page 100.In this diffuse, mysterious urban landscape, the artist has added to the sense of ambiguity through the use of the two diverg-
ing roads going off to each side of the paper into an unknown space. Adding to this feeling is the driveway that enters the
building on the left, which also looks empty and undefined.
