2 Point Perspective

• 2 point perspective drawings are a type of
  pictorial drawing.
• They are a realistic drawing of an object showing
  it as if it were disappearing towards 2 vanishing
  points in the distance.

2 Point Perspective
These are the 2 vanishing points we will use to
construct the drawing.
Vanishing Point Right (VPR)
Vanishing Point Left (VPL)
All depths in the drawing will be projected
towards these 2 points.
4
2 Point Perspective
This line is the front of the shape.
All heights in the drawing must be drawn
vertically.
5
2 Point Perspective
We will now project the base of the shape back to
each of the vanishing points.
6
2 Point Perspective
Now project the top of the shape back to each of
the vanishing points.
7
2 Point Perspective
Now project the back of the shape back to each of
the vanishing points.
You cannot make accurate measurements using a
ruler when drawing a perspective drawing. Instead
estimate the sizes by using a suitable proportion
of sizes in the drawing.
8
2 Point Perspective
Now project the heights from the top of the shape
down to the base
Remember, all heights in the drawing must be
drawn vertically.

2 Point Perspective
You shown now darken in the outline of your shape.

2 Point Perspective

• All depths go to one of the vanishing points.
• All heights are drawn vertically.
• You cannot measure lengths. Instead estimate all
  distances, being careful to keep your drawing in
  a good proportion.
