Two Point Perspective Understanding And Grid Defining Two Point Perspective • • Two Point Perspective is a type of linear perspective. Two Point Perspective is a systematic way of drawing box-like objects or anything that can be logically arranged into a geometric, grid-like structure. This 2 pt drawing method is defined by 2 vanishing points that represent 2 convergence points and infinite distance away. All geometric objects that are arranged perpendicular or parallel to each other will have drawn sides that converge on each vanishing point. Learning 2 pt perspective is one of the smartest things you can do as an artist. As a result you’ll be able to correctly identify the angles that sides of objects make and draw them accurately.

Living Space In Two Point Perspective Step 1: The first thing you need to do is to establish your horizon line and two vanishing points. The horizon line is a horizontal line that represents eye level.

Perspective Color-coded Key

Living Space In Two Point Perpective • You’re going to want to place your vanishing points as far apart as possible and both points need to be drawn on the horizon line. • Remember: the horizon line is the horizontal line that represents eye level to the viewer. Anything placed below this line and we’ll see the top. Anything placed above the horizon line and we won’t see the top, but will see the bottom. This is assuming of course that the top and/or bottom planes are visible.

Step 2 • Next you should draw the farthest corner of the living Room’s interior. This can be anywhere in between the two vanishing points but for now we’ll put it near the middle. I’ll represent this vertical line using the color black.

Step 3 • To draw an interior wall of the living space, connect the top and bottom of the vertical line to a vanishing point. When drawing interiors, walls go to opposite corners. The wall on the left gets connected to the vanishing point on the right.

Step 4 • Now you can draw the other wall. Remember that I’m color-coding things here so you can follow along with no problems!

Step 5 • With the empty shell of the room drawn we can now add perspective elements. Let’s turn this empty box into a Living space! Let’s draw a sitting box.

Step 6 • Finally, use your pencil and ruler to draw the top of the box. Don’t guess at the angles. Use the vanishing points when drawing your 2 point perspective Living Space

• Step 7 Let’s add a doorway. You can even use one of the vanishing points to make it look like the door is open.

Step 8 It’s now your turn to add more elements to your drawing of a Living space. What else belongs there that can be drawn using the two point perspective method? Take your time and be creative!
