Linear Perspective
Two-Point
Linear Perspective: Two Point Two-point perspective grid is used when you are viewing an object or scene from an
angle (or a corner). You can see at least two converging sides (planes) of the subject instead of one side, as in one-point perspective.
EL VPL VPR VP
EL
Two-point is used when viewing an object or scene from an angle or corner. It has two vanishing points (VPL and VPR). All converging perspective lines move toward the horizon line (EL)
One-point is used when viewing an object or scene straight on. It has one vanishing point (VP). All converging perspective lines move toward the horizon line (EL). This example could be the interior of a room, or a street with two buildings flanking it.
Linear Perspective: Two Point Determining which VP the converging perspective lines go to
VPL VPR EL
To establish converging perspective lines, merely look for the direction (upward or downward) a line moves toward the horizon. If it moves downward, it is above the horizon. If it moves upward, it is below the horizon. Lines that converge leftward toward the horizon, converge at the left vanishing point (VPL). Lines that converge rightward toward the horizon, converge at the right vanishing point (VPR).
Linear Perspective: Two Point Two-point perspective grid is used when you are viewing an object
or scene from an angle (or a corner). You can see at least two converging sides of the subject instead of one, as in one-point
perspective. The structural lines moving away from you toward the horizon
move to the left and the right, instead of moving to the center.

Two-point Perspective (Exterior) Class Exercise
Print this page out and place it at the top of your drawing board so it can be used as a reference while you are performing the exercise.
Two-point Perspective Grid
Front corner closest to you
Determine where your front, closest corner is. Determine how far above and below EL the building is positioned. Best to start the first vertical line at the foot of the building’s front corner.
Two-point Perspective Grid
Front corner closest to you Left wall of front building
Determine how far back the left wall of the building will extend. Draw a vertical line that touches the converging perspective grid lines.

Front corner closest to you Left wall of front building
Next, determine how far the right wall will extend. Start your vertical line at the base of the rear. Do not worry about how high it goes. This will be corrected later.
Right wall of front building
Two-point Perspective Grid
Front corner closest to you
Draw two converging perspective lines at the base of the building connecting the front corner to the right and left back corners of the building.
Two-point Perspective Grid
Front corner closest to you
Next, starting at the top of the front corner of the building, draw two converging perspective lines to connect with the back, left and right corners of the building. (Make sure they align with the VPs.)

Your structure should look something like this.

Left wall of back building
Next, determine how far back the left wall of the back building will extend. Start your vertical line at the base of the rear. Do not worry about how high it goes. This will be corrected later. Next, draw the vertical line of the front corner of the back building behind the front building

Next draw base converging perspective line for back building. Next draw the back corner of the right wall—try to align it with the roof-line converging perspective line front wall height.
