Learning to Draw Perspective

2-point perspective with horizon in center

Drawing buildings and other structures for our paintings can sometimes be intimidating when it comes to figuring out a realistic perspective.   CrashDummyNL has created a couple of unique little utilities that will help you with that. You can move the block around by dragging the front corner and you can adjust the height and the width of the building block.  Then you change the position of the horizon to see the effect the viewing angle has on the shape of the building block.

See the 2 point perspective gadget here.....and 1 point perspective gadget here

1-point perspective

Whether to use 1-point or 2-point perspective depends on 

your own choice of design and viewing angle.
