TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE

1
TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE

• Object behind Picture Plane

2
Key Concepts

• 2 Point Perspective implies two Vanishing Points
• BASED ON TAOP (Third Angle Orthographic
  Projection)
• Picture Plane is a top view of the vertical
  plane.The Top View is placed in relation to the
  PP.
• The Ground Line is the base line for the object
  to stand on.
• The Horizon Line is the height of the observer
  and the line where the Vanishing Points are
  located.
• The Station Point is the position where the
  observer is standing.
• The Station Point and the Top View are in
  relation to one another.
• The Horizon Line and the Front View are in
  relation to one another.

Step One
In the case where the object does not touch the
PP - extend the sides until you find two sides
that touch the PP
5
Step Two
Determine the vanishing points (VP). From the SP
parallel to each of the side of the object draw
lines to the PP From the intersection with the PP
to the Horizon Line (HL) draw perpendicular
lines LABEL the LVP and RVP
6
Step Three
Draw a Line from the intersection on the PP
perpendicular to the GL.
7
Step Four
Project the height to the corner line
8
Step Five
Draw projection lines from each corner of the
object to the SP.
9
Step Six
Trim the lines to the PP and draw perpendicular
lines to the GL
10
Step Seven
From the corner line and height intersections
draw vanishing lines to the vanishing points
11
Step Eight
Where the lines originating from the corners
intersect the vanishing lines project to the
vanishing points
SECRET Always draw the complete block
12
Step Nine
Start projecting the other corners
