Hi Tom here, welcome to my new
Circle Line Art School video, How to Draw a View of
Wall Street in 1-Point Perspective,
for this drawing the first step
is to draw a horizontal line low down on
your page, towards the bottom of your
page, next we draw a across for the
vanishing point, we can draw a
vertical line to the left of our vanishing point,
which needs to be at right angles to the
horizontal line that we just drew,
now draw another vertical line on the right
hand side of the vanishing point,
now we need two more virtual lines
either side of the vanishing point,
a little bit nearer to the first two lines
and we will draw all of the sides of the
buildings in between these two lines,
at least all of the first buildings,
next we can draw a diagonal line for the vanishing point
to the bottom left of your page, this will
be the side of the road, now we can draw
another diagonal line on the right hand side,
and this will complete the road,
so to draw this building on the left we need to draw a series of
diagonal lines going towards the
vanishing point,
and also we could add some vertical lines or columns,
we could add more vertical lines across
the diagonal lines at the top of this building
and this will make a grid in one
point perspective, the vertical lines
are always going to stay vertical, but the diagonal
lines need to go to the one point,
the vanishing point,
we could add a door and some windows
maybe to the base, and then the top line
of the door and the windows will need to
again go straight to the vanishing point,
I'll speed up the video
here for a while, as I go over the
lines of a black pen...
next we can draw all the shapes on the
right-hand side, but this time we can add
a platform to one of the buildings, a sort
of part just sticks out a little bit, but
again the diagonal lines will go to the
vanishing point, once you have completed
this stage, we can draw the outline of
the church for the spire, as this is a
drawing the Wall Street in New York,
I can add some basic buildings in the
background behind the church too,
which will be all that right angles to each other,
because we're looking straight on at
them, not at the sides of them,
the rest of this drawing follow the principles of
one point perspective, where all the lines
of the building that are going away from
us, will end up at the vanishing point,
but all of the other lines which are not
going away from us,
the ones that were looking straight at,
they'll be all right angled lines,
making squares and rectangles for
the fronts of the buildings,
Thank you very much for
watching, please subscribe to my youtube
channel, Circle Line Art School,
for many more are tutorials,
I post a new tutorial every week!

for this drawing I used
a mechanical pencil, a thin black pen and a marker pen too,
just to speed up the shading of the black,
some of the shading I use cross-hatching,
which is where you draw a parallel lines
really close together in one direction,
and then you can just draw more
parallel lines in another direction and that will
make it darker, and then if you keep
repeating it and drawing the parallel
lines in different directions and
cross-hatching, it will get darker and darker,
I hope you find this drawing useful for your own drawings, and if so please
give it a thumbs up! Thank you so much for
watching again and see you next time!
