![]() If you look closely, you can see the outlines of my boxes starting to take shape. Here I started out by drawing a lot of lines coming from my vanishing points and using vertical lines to connect them at intersections. Draw at least two more boxes–more than that if you’re feeling ambitious! (…can you guess what it’s going to be?) That’s right! Draw more boxes! Use your same sheet of paper and practice drawing more boxes/buildings. If we add some value to it, it becomes a block or the beginnings of a building.Įxercise Two: More Two Point Perspective Drawing It looks pretty messy right now so start cleaning up around your box with your eraser until it looks like this:Ĭongratulations-you have now made a box in two-point perspective! After those four lines have been drawn in, there will be a new intersection where the back corner of your box will be (pictured as a green vertical line in the image above). You can see in the picture above the new lines (red) extending from the vanishing points to the tops and bottoms of our new vertical lines (blue). Once you have all these lines drawn, continue making lines coming from your vanishing points to touch the tops and bottoms of your new vertical lines. Then you’ll draw two more vertical lines to define the size of your box. Now use your ruler to draw lines from the vanishing points to your vertical line.ĭraw four lines so you have lines from each vanishing point to the top and bottom of your vertical line. So make a vertical line somewhere on your page between the two vanishing points and below the horizon line. Draw your horizon line then two vanishing points on either side of the paper.įor this exercise, we’re going to make another cube (I told you to draw a lot of them!). ![]() ![]() Take out a piece of paper, your pencil, eraser, and a ruler. Exercise One: Drawing A Box In Two Point Perspective I’ve outlined the sidewalk too so you can see how it’s also using the same vanishing point. You can see how not only the one building is using the two-point perspective but the rest of the objects in the painting are following the same lines. The yellow line is the horizon line and the two red dots are the vanishing points. See how the building in the background is going off into two separate vanishing points? Below, I’ve drawn the lines so you can see it more clearly: If you would like to use my photos for any other purpose please email me for permission.Gustave Caillebotte, Paris Street Rainy Day, 1877, oil on canvas If you post my images in electronic form (such as a blog, email, or electronic document) please include an active lnk to this website.
