Cube in 2-point Perspective

© JuliannaKunstler.com

1. Find the horizon line and vanishing point(s)

2. Complete the block. Do not erase receding lines.

3. Complete the indents on all sides

4. After the cube is done – add a creative environment in or around the cube. Use colored pencils to complete the drawing.

5. Use different color values to support the 3D appearance.

STEPS

step 1

cube in 2 point perspective

Find the vanishing points.

Look at the existing shapes and lines.

Where do all lines in 2 point perspective go for a basic geometric form?

Extend receding lines to find out where they cross.

step 2

Find the horizon line. Draw it through the two vanishing points.

step 3

Complete the outer cube first. Add all missing lines.

Remember: the lines can go only 3 directions:

1. vertical

2. left vanishing point

3. right vanishing point

All other directions are wrong.

Include all "back corners" for a proper construction.

step 4

Complete the indents

step 5

Now get creative and add details to this object. You can convert it into an imaginary environment or a container…

Color the cube using different values (color or greyscale) to support the appearance of space.

Have fun.
