Remember In two-point perspective most lines are
either vertical or orthogonals. There are rarely
horizontal lines in two-point perspective!

2Point Perspective Project

• Turn your 12x18 paper horizontally.
• Draw a horizon line a vertical line through the
  center of the paper and add a vanishing point on
  each end of the horizon line.
• Lightly draw 2 of your initials in 2 point
  perspective. Remember to start with a vertical
  line for the front corner of the letter, then
  draw orthogonal lines and vertical lines for each
  side of the letters.
• Outline the cast shadows for each letter using a
  light and shadow vanishing points.
• USE A RULER!!!

• Choose 2 colors to use on your letters from the
  water color sets. One color for each letter.
• Paint one side of each letter lightly (the side
  that faces the light source).
• Using the same colors, paint the other side of
  each letter a darker shade of that color (the
  side facing away from the light source).
• Blow dry each time you paint a side of a letter
  so the paints dont bleed together.
• Use a different, third color to paint your
  shadows. They should fade from dark to light as
  you get farther from the base of each letter.
• Paint the top half lightly one color and the
  bottom half lightly with another color.
• Put it on the drying rack.
• After the paint dries, use color pencils to add
  values and details to the letters and cast
  shadows.
