<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%> 2 Point Perspective Drawing
Two point perspective drawing is one of the drawing methods illustrated in the Designing Directory of our KS3 D&T software. Animations are used to show the stages of creating a drawing. The drawing exercises include helpful alternatives with construction lines added to show how the drawing may be completed.
 

2 Point Perspective Drawing

Two point perspective drawing is the most difficult method that we normally use to illustrate products.  If done well, it is also the most realistic. 

In two point perspective drawing, we imagine two vanishing points.  The two top corners of the page may be used for most purposes. 

All the lines that are drawn towards the left are drawn to the left vanishing point.  All the lines that are drawn towards the right are drawn to the right vanishing point. 

Vertical lines stay vertical.

  

We normally draw a crate first that represents the height, length and width of the object that we want to draw. 

Extra lines are then drawn inside the crate until the shape of our object is drawn feintly.

The outline of the object is then drawn darker over the feint construction lines.

The construction lines may be rubbed out using an eraser or if they are very feint, they may be left.  Finally the drawing may be rendered by adding light, shade and colour.
