Two Point Perspective
• Two-point perspective is useful to show an angle rather than face-on. Most lines are vertical or orthogonals drawn to two
different vanishing points.

Steps for a Two point perspective drawing
• Follow the step by step tutorial so you can understand how to draw using two
vanishing points.

Step 1
• 1. Turn your paper so its orientation is landscape.

Step 2
• Draw a horizontal line 40-50 mm down from top of the page. This is your horizon
line.

Step 3
• Draw two dots on your horizon line near the edges of the paper. These are your
vanishing points.

Step 4
• Draw a vertical line that is the "front edge" of your form.

Step 5
• Connect the two ends of your "front edge" line to each vanishing point. These are called orthogonals. Draw lightly so you
can erase!

Step 6
• Draw two vertical lines between the orthogonals where you want the back
edges of your form. Remember: In two-point perspective most lines are either
vertical or orthongonals. There are rarely horizontal lines in two-point perspective!

Step 7
• Now join the back, top corners to the opposite vanishing point to complete the
top of the form.

Step 8
• Erase the extra orthogonals. Now you have a form drawn in two-point
perspective!

Step 9
• Add details and experiment!
