Linear Perspective: 2 point
2-point Perspective practice
© JuliannaKunstler.com
In this lesson you are going to construct multiple objects in a two point perspective.
Follow the instructions for the worksheet for the first object, then apply the same steps to solve the problem of how to draw the rest of them.
Grid background will help you to make sure all vertical lines are accurate.
STEPS
You are going to build a box in 2 point perspective.
Start with drawing a horizon line and placing 2 vanishing points as shown.
Draw the front edge – the closest part of the box.
Draw receding lines from each corner to both vanishing points.
Guess the depth – place a mark on a receding line.
this mark is your far right corner.
From the far corner draw a straight vertical line all the way down until it reaches the other receding line.
This line is your far right edge.
Now you have your right side done!
Repeat the steps on the left side:
Mark the depth (guess)
Now you have the left side done.
Add a receding line from both far corners.
Their crossing point is the far bottom corner.
Now you have the last visible side done.
Now is the time to complete the hidden sides.
Draw a receding line from both upper back corners.
If you did everything right – your box should look like this one.
rebuild the following forms:
Remember to start with the closest edge.
It is essential to draw the "hidden" sides to build the complex forms.
