11. Learning to Draw Two Point Perspective

12. Step 1: Draw line lightly across paper about 3 inches down from top

13. Step 2: a small light dash on the 1st line - 1/2 inch in. These are the vanishing points.

14. Step 3:make the z-axis - does not need to be in the center. Z

15. Step 4:make the x-axis - from the bottom of z to the vanishing point Z x

16. Step 5: make the y-axis - from the bottom of z to the other vanishing point. Z x y

17. Step 6: make a light line from the top of the x-axis to the top of the z-axis Z x y

18. Step 7: make a light line from the top of the y-axis to the top of the z-axis Z x y

19. Step 8: Make two vertical lines - one on each side of the z-axis Z x y

20. Step 9: Darken the lines connecting to z-axis to the lines just drawn. Z x y

21. Step 10: Draw a line part way up from the y- axis. It needs to go above the horizon. Z x y

22. Step 11:Lightly Draw a line to the vanishing point and another vertical line. Z x y

23. Step 12: Darken the line just drawn, but only the part between Z x y

24. Step 13:Lightly Draw another line to the vanishing point and darken rest of the vertical line. Z x y

25. Step 14:Draw one vertical line. Then darken the connnecting line. Z x y

26. Step 15: Draw a light line from the corner of the building to the opposite horizon. Z x y

27. Step 16: Darken the newly drawn lines up until they hit the first building. Z x y

28. Step 17: erase the light lines between the x and y axis. Z x y

29. Step 18: try to make a building along the x-axis. 4 lines. Z x y

30. Step 19: darken lines between buildings. Z x y

31. Step 20: Erase light lines and put in line from the bottom corner of the building to the x vanishing point. Z x y

32. Step 21: Darken the lines you just made from the bottom of the building till it hits the next building Z x y

33. Step 22: choose where your sun goes and begin shading and adding more detail. Z x y

34. Put in the details….
