Learning to Draw
Two Point Perspective
Step 1: Draw line lightly across paper
about 3 inches down from top
Step 2: a small light dash on the 1st
line - 1/2 inch in. These are the
vanishing points.
Step 3:make the z-axis - does not
need to be in the center.

Step 4:make the x-axis - from the
bottom of z to the vanishing point
Z
x
Step 5:make the y-axis - from the bottom of
z to the other vanishing point.

Step 6:make a light line from the top of the
x-axis to the top of the z-axis

Step 7:make a light line from the top of the
y-axis to the top of the z-axis

Step 8:Make two vertical lines - one on
each side of the z-axis

Step 9:Darken the lines connecting to z-axis
to the lines just drawn.

Step 10:Draw a line part way up from the yaxis. It needs to go above the horizon.

Step 11:Lightly Draw a line to the vanishing
point and another vertical line.

the part between

Step 13:Lightly Draw another line to the
vanishing point and darken rest of the vertical line.

Step 14:Draw one vertical line. Then
darken the connnecting line.

Step 15:Draw a light line from the corner of the
building to the opposite horizon.

Step 16:Darken the newly drawn lines up until
they hit the first building.

Step 20:Erase light lines and put in line from the
bottom corner of the building to the x vanishing
point.

bottom of the building till it hits the next building
