2 Point Perspective implies two Vanishing Points
BASED ON TAOP (Third Angle Orthographic
Projection)
Picture Plane is a top view of the vertical plane.
The Top View is placed in relation to the PP.
The Ground Line is the base line for the object to
stand on.
The Horizon Line is the height of the observer and
the line where the Vanishing Points are located.
The Station Point is the position where the
observer is standing.
The Station Point and the Top View are in relation to
one another.
The Horizon Line and the Front View are in relation
to one another.

Step One
In the case
where the object
does not touch
the PP - extend
the sides until
you find two
sides that touch
the PP
Step Two
Determine the vanishing points
(VP).
From the SP parallel to each of
the side of the object draw lines
to the PP
From the intersection with the
PP to the Horizon Line (HL)
draw perpendicular lines
LABEL the LVP and RVP
Step
Three
Draw a Line from
the intersection on
the PP
perpendicular to
the GL.
Step Four
Project the height to the corner line
Step Five
Draw projection lines from each
corner of the object to the SP.
Step Six
Trim the lines
to the PP and
draw
perpendicular
lines to the GL
Step Seven
From the corner line and height
intersections draw vanishing
lines to the vanishing points
Step Eight
SECRET: Always
draw the complete
block
Where the lines originating from
the corners intersect the
vanishing lines project to the
vanishing points
Step Nine
Start
projecting
the “other”
corners
Continue the process with each corner
