How to Draw Buildings Using Two Point Linear Perspective | Drawing Tutorial

This video tutorial teaches how to draw buildings using two-point linear perspective. It begins with setting up the horizon line and vanishing points, followed by drawing the first building. The tutorial then guides on adding more buildings, enhancing the scene with depth, and finalizing the drawing with details. Key tips include avoiding common mistakes, using a ruler, and understanding perspective principles.

What is the first step recommended before starting to draw buildings using two-point perspective?

• Practicing basic box drawing

• Coloring the paper

• Drawing circles

• Sketching landscapes

Where should the vanishing points be placed when starting a building drawing?

• On the outside left and right edges

• Near the middle of the horizon line

• At the top and bottom of the paper

• In the center of the paper

What common mistake is often made in two-point perspective building drawings?

• Using too many vanishing points

• Drawing the horizon line too high

• Not connecting the bottom of the first corner to the vanishing point

• Forgetting to draw the top of the building

How can you create more depth in your building scene?

• By placing buildings far apart

• By using only one vanishing point

• By overlapping buildings

• By drawing all buildings the same height

What happens to a building's appearance as it gets closer to a vanishing point?

• It becomes distorted

• It appears larger

• It becomes clearer

• It appears more colorful

What should you remember when adding details like sidewalks in a two-point perspective drawing?

• Make lines parallel to the horizon line

• Ensure lines get closer together as they approach the vanishing point

• Keep lines evenly spaced

• Draw lines perpendicular to the vanishing points

What is a recommended practice when drawing buildings close to the horizon line?

• Avoid drawing them too close to the horizon line

• Draw them with a flat roof

• Use more than two vanishing points

• Make them the same height as the horizon line
