TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE Object behind Picture Plane

Key Concepts n n n n 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.

Top View Picture Plane Horizon Line Front View Ground Line Station Point

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
