in perspective.Figure 2: Where are
the vanishing points for each box?Figure 3
To make a double vanishing point perspective drawing of a
box, you can start bydrawing a horizon line and one
vertical edge of the box as shown below.
Then draw
construction lines from the top and bottom of the vertical edge
to two vanishing points on the horizon line.
Once you have done this, you have to mark off another edge of the block on
the construction lines as indicated in Figure 5 at A and B.
From points A and B, draw construction lines to vanishing point 2.
Now mark off
another edge of the block on the construction lines going to
vanishing point 2 at C and D as in Figure 6.
Draw
construction lines from points C and D to vanishing point
1.
Make
your own double vanishing point perspective drawing of a block
below. Draw in your solid lines, as indicated on the block
drawing on page 46.

It is
best to draw the block first, without the cut-out, as shown
below.
Then
mark the cut-out, as shown below.

and complete your own double vanishing point perspective
drawing of the object in Figure 7. Draw in solid lines where
necessary.

look more life-like or real.shading. Shading is
a way of showing that something is a three-dimensional shape, instead
of a two-dimensional
shape.

position of light shining on the cube determines which parts
will be darker or lighter. The position of the light on these
cubes is shown by the red arrows.Figure 12: Different shades created by

drawing lines, you can use your pen, pencil or any other
drawing tool to make dots for shading. The closer the
dots are together, the darker the shade will be.Figure 14:

Create 5 different shades in the block below using one of the shading techniques you've learnt about.

basic shapes
