3 Why draw in perspective?
Perspective drawing can make your drawing change from flat to looking very three-dimensional! Perspective drawing can add realism to your drawings in an easy way. Learning perspective will help you understand how artists have used the technique for hundreds of years! © 2012 Lesson Lady

4 Materials You Will Need

5 Rules of Two Point Perspective
Two point perspective drawing can be easy… if you follow these three simple rules! 1. Bigger objects look closer. Smaller objects will appear farther away. 2. All diagonal lines must line up with one of the two vanishing points. 3. Besides diagonal lines, the only other type of line allowed are vertical lines. © 2012 Lesson Lady

6 Ready, get set, go! © 2012 Lesson Lady

7 First, add your vanishing points to the paper
First, add your vanishing points to the paper. The vanishing points are where your lines will vanish at. Try to make them even. © 2012 Lesson Lady

8 Draw a horizon line between the two vanishing points
Draw a horizon line between the two vanishing points. The horizon line is where your eye level is. You will look up at anything above your line and look down at anything below it. © 2012 Lesson Lady

9 Next we will start drawing the boxes
Next we will start drawing the boxes. They start by drawing a vertical line on your paper. We will try three boxes. One above the horizon line, one at the horizon line, and one below it. © 2012 Lesson Lady

10 Next, attach the top of your vertical line to each vanishing point using your ruler. They will look like long arrows. © 2012 Lesson Lady

11 The completed lines look like this. It’s okay if the lines touch
The completed lines look like this. It’s okay if the lines touch. Some parts of the lines will be erased later. © 2012 Lesson Lady

12 It’s looking good! Keep going, we’re almost done!
Next, connect the bottom of each vertical line to each vanishing point. This step is just like the previous one. If the lines start to overlap like shown by the red arrow, stop drawing the line at its overlapping point. It’s looking good! Keep going, we’re almost done! © 2012 Lesson Lady

13 Draw vertical lines to connect the two diagonal lines
Draw vertical lines to connect the two diagonal lines. This will form the sides of the boxes. © 2012 Lesson Lady

14 Erase all extra diagonal lines so you are left with your three boxes
Erase all extra diagonal lines so you are left with your three boxes. Your middle box is complete! You can erase the horizon line that is inside the middle box. © 2012 Lesson Lady

15 Get ready to finish the last two boxes!
© 2012 Lesson Lady

16 Connect the top or bottom of the sides of each box to the opposite vanishing point. The two lines will cross over each other, forming the top or bottom of the box. You do not have to draw your lines the whole way if they hit another box. © 2012 Lesson Lady

17 Erase any extra lines and your boxes are complete!

18 To add to the three-dimensional look, shade your boxes and add value.

19 What Can you make with boxes in two point perspective?
© 2012 Lesson Lady

20 Make a stack of boxes! © 2012 Lesson Lady

21 Turn your stack of boxes into something unusual!

22 Make one large box and turn it into a three-dimensional looking game board!
