Hi, Tom here in this week's Circle Line Art School video I'm going to show you
one way to draw using two-point perspective,
starts by drawing a horizontal line just below the middle of your page,
for this drawing our first vanishing point can be in the middle of our horizon,
from this first vanishing point we can draw two parallel lines in perspective,
because they're in perspective they'll become diagonal lines because the gap
between them is getting smaller as they go towards the horizon, so these two
lines are like an endless wall going towards our first vanishing point, next
we can draw a vertical line between these two diagonals to show where our
walls stop, as we don't want an endless wall, now we can add our second vanishing
point, this time on the far left, but still on the horizon line, on the
horizontal line that we drew at the beginning,
next we can draw another wall, an endless wall, for now, starting from our second
vanishing point and each of these two diagonal lines needs to go through the end
of the first vertical line that we drew, now we can add two more vertical lines
on the left wall for partitions within the wall, as it were, almost like doorways
like big doorways, again these vertical lines need to be between the diagonal
lines of our wall, the diagonal lines represent the top and bottom line of the
wall, on the left through the partition in the wall we can add another shorter
vertical line on the wall going to the right and then by using the vanishing
point in the center of our drawing we can draw two more lines going past the
top and the bottom of this vertical line, to make the wall on the far left, next on
the wall on the right, we can draw a vertical line between these two diagonal
lines to show where we could have the wall stopping, so this becomes a corner
of the wall and to have the next side of the wall coming towards us we need to
draw two more lines from the middle vanishing point, again going to the top
and bottom of the vertical line which is in the corner of the wall, all the walls
going towards the middle should use the middle vanishing
point, for the tops and bottoms of the walls, and then all of the walls going
towards the left should use see vanishing point left, now I have darkened
the lines that we need we can add another vertical partition line on the
left and then far away on the left we can draw another wall using our
vanishing point in the middle of the drawing to find the top and bottom lines
of the wall,
now we can erase a few lines so we no longer need,
next we could draw a series of lines, like lines of a wooden wall, slats in the
wall and these horizontal lines are all in perspective and therefore they all
need to look like they would continue all the way to the vanishing point in
the middle of the drawing,
the horizontal represents our eye height, the height of
the viewers eye, when they're looking at the scene,
we can repeat this process and draw some lines on the left too, some horizontal
lines going towards the vanishing point, the central vanishing point in our drawing,
both of these walls are going towards that one fixed point in the center, the
vanishing point that were using for these walls and all of the lines are
parallel to each other and that's why we can use that one single vanishing point...
now we can add a baseline for the big windows,
this line we can use the left vanishing point,
next, to make the large windows we can create two vertical lines on this large wall,
looking along here we could add another vertical line on the wall in the
distance, you could add a slight thickness to these lines to make them
look like bars of a window, next, for this drawing I shall draw the sea,
so we're looking through the windows to the sea,
so for that, we just need to add some small sharp broken horizontal lines
getting a little bit longer and a little bit darker as they come towards us,
we could smudge some of these lines a little bit to create a more atmospheric
look, I will darken some of the window bars too for this drawing I'm using a 4B
pencil, any pencil or fine pen would do,
now I think I'll add some gentle tone, some shading in the sky, to indicate some
clouds, I'll make sure they don't have any hard edges, any dark edges...
again I can smudge these tones using this side of an eraser,
the last step in this drawing is to add a few shadows cast by these upright
vertical lines in the window, I'll use the middle vanishing point as a
direction of the light source and then from that point I can draw the shadows
as straight lines coming towards us,
I'll make these shadows quite faint and soft, just by applying a gentle pressure
with pencil that I'm using. Thank you very much for watching this video, please
