Two-Point Perspective : Exterior Of a House

A type of linear perspective is two point perspective drawing.  A technique called linear perspective uses lines to provide the perception of space on a 2D surface.  Linear perspective comes in three different forms. Two points are put on the horizon line to create a two point perspective. 

The image below is a two-point perspective drawing drawn by me;

First of al, I drew and marked the vanishing points and the horizon line.

Secondly, the object's corner must then be drawn as another step.  Two point perspective is most frequently employed to show structures or interiors, hence this line might represent a building's corner. This line can cross the horizon line and is drawn between the two vanishing points.

Thirdly, I then drew lines from each corner's end to each vanishing point. Next, construct regressing lines from each corner's end to each of the vanishing points.  These are referred to as orthogonal lines. The vanishing points are reached by any set of parallel lines that move away from the observer.

Moreover, I once more drew vertical, parallel lines to show where the object ends. The point where the shape stops is shown by parallel, vertical lines. The shape seems longer the closer these lines are positioned in space to the vanishing points on either side.

Lastly, I continued to draw parallel lines from the vanishing points to draw the windows, doors, chimney and the apex roofs. Then, I highlighted the points by shading where the light does not fall.

Here is my final two-point perspective drawing of a house;

It was a nice exercise to learn an new skill how to draw from two-point perspective and it will be helpful for my major project.
