Hi, Tom here with this weeks Circle Line Art School video,
How to Draw a Fantasy City in 2-Point Perspective,
for this drawing I use a soft 4B pencil, a black pen and
some gray market pens for tone,
first draw a horizontal line in the middle of
your page, and then draw a vertical line,
maybe to the left of the center of it...
next, draw two marks far apart on this horizontal or horizon line,
and these two marks will be the two vanishing points
for this drawing in 2-point perspective ,
now draw mark on the vertical line and then
from this mark draw a straight line to the
vanishing point on the left and then
another straight line to the vanishing point
point on the right, you could use a ruler
for this, this is going to be the top of
our first cube, next draw another mark
lower down on this vertical line and
again, from this point or mark, draw two
lines to each of the vanishing points,
one to the left and one to the right,
next, draw a vertical line on the left of your
original vertical line, between the two
diagonal lines, this will be the
left-hand side of the cube,
and then we can repeat this on the right, to be the
right hand side of the cube, now from the
top of the left vertical line draw a
line from this point all the way to the
vanishing point on the right, then draw
another line from the top of the right
vertical line, this time all the way to
the vanishing point on the left, and now
we should have a cube into perspective!
now we can repeat this process, two more
times, to make two more cubes, for this
drawing...
I am going to use the three vertical lines
that we already have for the first cube,
and just sort of read them upwards
and then using these three vertical
lines, I'm going to draw two more cubes,
and again all of the diagonal lines will
go to either the left or the right
vanishing point...
it's useful to notice how, when a cube is
above the horizontal line, we're looking
up at it, and when a cube is below the
horizontal line, we're looking down on it,
for this top cube, the base will be behind the middle cube,
that we have already drawn and
therefore we get a sense of one three-dimensional
shape
overlapping another, I use that technique
many times in this drawing, I think...
now in the foreground
I can add a larger cube, for the first cube that we drew
to sit on, for the rest of this drawing I
want to make up shapes, that all follow
exactly the method that we've just done
for the first three cubes, all of the
vertical lines will stay vertical
and all of the diagonal lines will end up at one
of the two vanishing points, either to
the left or to the right...
any roads I add, will be like arrows, they will
just be two lines going straight to the
vanishing point, I won't use curves in this
drawing, I don't think, later I'll add some
details and some tone,
I post a new video every week on my youtube channel,
Circle Line Art School,
so please subscribe to see all of my videos,
thank you very much for watching, I hope you enjoy the
rest of this video, as the drawing unfolds...
