Two Point Perspective

Widget Walkthrough

We’ll be drawing this widget

Step 1: Horizon line & 2 vanishing points

Draw an edge

Top corner to vanishing points

Decide how long you want right side to be, place dot along construction line

That corner needs to be attached to both vanishing points and a vertical line

Now connect the bottom front point to both vanishing points

You’ve now discovered the back right corner!

Now decide how long you want the other side to be – place a dot there

That dot needs to be connected to both vanishing points and a vertical line

You’ve discovered the back left corner and the front left corner!

Now we need to work on the details of the top of this widget

Connect that dot to the vanishing point

A second dot, also connected to the vanishing points

Now, another dot to determine the back of this top feature

Outline the top – you’re done with that side!

Now let’s drop those vertical lines from the two dots we placed earlier

Need to have a bottom level for the front feature

Almost done with the front…

Shade it/outline the front, you’re done with it!

Now we need to do that funky “angled” line

Connect those inner corners using a straight edge

Now just add some shading, you’re done!
