28 Important Techniques:
Draw your horizon line. You may use two vanishing points that go off of the paper. Draw a line in the center for the corner of the building… to the right of this line goes to the right VP, to the left goes to the left VP.

When drawing the line for the corner of the building, consider the viewpoint for your building. You are always eye level with the horizon line.
