Hi, Tom here and welcome to this week's Circle Line Art School video: How to Draw
some Modern Buildings in Two-Point Perspective:
The first step is to draw a horizontal line across your page, towards the bottom
of the page,
next we can add a vanishing point to the right and left-hand side of a horizontal
line, the horizontal line is the height of the eye of the viewer, now we can draw
a vertical line in the center of the middle of the page,
next we can use the vanishing point on the right to draw our first two diagonal
lines, as I'm using a pen in this drawing I'll be letting the line sort of peter
out as they go towards the vanishing point, now if we draw another vertical
line, we have got a rectangle in perspective, looking at the side of a
rectangle, so it's distorted, this will be the side of one of the buildings,
if we draw another vertical line we can repeat this process, but this time we can use
the vanishing point on the left and parallel lines going away from us
towards the horizon will meets at the vanishing points, so all diagonal lines
will go away towards these two vanishing points and now we can repeat this again
but this time going to the right vanishing point, so we get a sort of
concertina structure of walls going to the left and walls going to the right,
when we use the right vanishing point we make the wall go towards the right and
when we use the left vanishing point it will make the wall of the building go
towards the left, we don't want the walls go back too far, not all the way to the
horizon, a long road for example, you know, that would go all the way to the horizon
but buildings are never that long they're never as long as a road, so you
want to stop these walls with vertical lines, now in this drawing all vertical
lines need to stay vertical and parallel with each other and the vertical edge of
your paper, so they're all in a row
once we have the central structure to our buildings, the central part of the
drawing we can just add more shapes in exactly the same way for the rest of the drawing...
