Hi Tom here in this week's Circle Line Art School video I'll show you one way
to draw a modern house in a city using two-point perspective,
start by drawing a horizon line across the lower half of your page, on this line
parallel lines will look that they meet, if they're going away from us, as this is
in two-point perspective, draw two crosses for the two vanishing points, the
points where parallel lines look that they meet when they're going away and
these two vanishing points need to be as far apart as they can but they need to
be on the horizon line, now draw a vertical line on the right
and then draw two lines going all the way to the vanishing point on the right,
next we can draw two more lines going to the left vanishing point so this will
become the corner of our building,
now draw a line on the left a vertical line
and then another vertical line on the right of the original vertical line that
we drew first of all, you can make these lines darker and erase the horizon line
that goes through the block, as we want to make this block look solid, now add
another vertical line left of the first vertical line and from this new line
draw two lines to the right vanishing point,
this is the start of the first building,
next repeat this by drawing another vertical line on the right and then two
lines going towards the left vanishing point,
and then one more vertical line, in this way we have, as it were, cut a block out
of our main block, we can do this again and again to make a modern house using
the right and the left vanishing points, to give a thickness to the edge of the
block on the left,
vertical lines in this drawing will all stay vertical,
for this drawing I am making up the shapes, designing a house as I go along,
so for your drawing I think it would be best if you did the same,
using the vanishing points for all the lines that are going away from us
and then to think of it as this first block that we have sort of cutting into
the block, so it's like a three dimensional block that we've created,
using two-point perspective and each time we add vertical lines and
lines going to either the left or the right vanishing points we're creating,
we're making, smaller blocks in two-point perspective that can become parts of the
building, but also every time you make a block you're sort of cutting into it,
it's also creating a bit of empty space above or below or around it as well,
so every time you draw another small shape within this block you also create
some space too...
so in this drawing we're using our vanishing point for all of the lines,
apart from the vertical lines, in that way you can have quite a lot of freedom
in your drawing and just make it up as you go along,
I hope you enjoy designing your own modernist house, later in this drawing I
will add some more buildings I think to the background, again using two-point
perspective all the time throughout the drawing, if you'd like to learn more
