5. The vanishing points are determined by where the vanishing lines pass through the eye level lines.VP VP

6. Parallel lines are drawn from the edge of the plan until they meet the picture plane and then projected vertically
to establish the height lines HL

7. The kitchen height is projected across in readiness for establishing the perspective ‘limits’ of the kitchen
Kitchen Height

8. projection lines shown in green pass through the
The perspective ‘limits’ of the kitchen are established by projecting lines from the vanishing points through A,B,C and D. B A D C
Note that some of the
projection lines shown in
green pass through the
plan area. On your drawing
keep these very light.
Remember points C and D
have ZERO height.

9. Lines are projected through points E and F untill the meet the picture plane then projected vertically to form the
wall edges of the kitchen

Wall Edge E F

10. Lines are projected from each of the vanishing points to points G, H, I and J to establish the inside walls. G H J I K
Notice the projection line at
K confirms the inside corner
of the room where the two
walls meet.

11. The profile outline of the two inside wall are shown in black for clarity.

12. The line for the height of the base units is projected across until it meets the height lines at L and M. Lines are
projected from each of the vanishing points
through L and M to points O and P. L
Base Unit Height M P O
The base unit height lines
can now be established on
the inner walls by projecting
from points O and P to their
opposite vanishing points.

13. Lines are projected from the spectator point through points Q,, R and S until the meet the picture plane. R Q S

14. The lines projected from the plan to the picture plane are now projected vertically ready to establish the end of
each set of base units

15. The ends of the base units are now established as shown at T and U.

16. The profile of the base units to date are now shown in black for clarity.

17. Lines are projected from the ends of the base units to the vanishing points to establish top and bottom of the units.

18. The top and bottom of the base are outlined in black for clarity.

19. The positions of the cupboards are marked on the plan at V and W ready for establishing their position above.
Cupboard widths W V

20. Line are now projected from the spectator point through points V and W to meet the picture plane before being
projected vertically to establish the
cupboard positions. W V

21. The measured perspective view is now shown with all unwanted projection lines and hidden lines removed.

22. Add a door to your perspective drawing using the dimensions shown.

23. walls are given a thickness
Final solution showing the door in perspective.
In problems where the
walls are given a thickness
always draw the inside
wall first then add the
outside wall last.
