Drawing 2 Point Perspective means that any man made object or structure is set at an angle to our eye level. We don’t see one whole side facing us. Instead, we see one corner or edge closest to us.

One and Two Point Perspective are good to know to sharpen your observational skills. When a drawing doesn’t look right, you can recall these basic principles to get them back in order. Remember, you are not trying to draw an accurate architectural survey of anything. Instead, you are trying to capture its immediate impression upon you. Sometimes distortions of a thing give more impact, or leaving some details out. Still be looking for the center of interest, where you want the viewer’s eye to land. This organizes any composition.
Aim for contrasts. Sometimes the main object may be a black silhouette, surrounded by lighter shapes. Add texture strokes to lead the eye. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
