Two Point Perspective



Two point perspective art is quite different from one point perspective art in some ways. Objects drawn in two point perspective tend to have a more natural look than when drawn in one point perspective.

In order to draw in two point perspective, you can plot two vanishing points opposite of each other on the paper and then make a triangle with those 2 lines, you can then draw lines one centimeter apart from each other leading to the same points.

My first design was a roll of toilet paper with my name on it. It didn't really work out because the roll of paper was a cylinder, cylinders are quite hard to do because they don't have edges. A way to do them is to draw them using a cube as a guide.

My second design was a world full of blocks, specifically "Minecraft", a video game where you play with blocks, I liked this idea because cubes are easy to do in two point perspective and that allows me to draw many things using cubes.

Some difficulties I had during painting was that I got some shades wrong and it was hard to get he same mix of color every time I had to paint something, this really made me paint things several times over and over again to get the shading right.



After that you can add a cube using the lines and start drawing. But make suer that everthing will have at least three shades of color, the face, top. and side.



The solution I had to that problem was to use mixes from other people that I would need so I wouldn't mess up my own mixes that I may have to use later if I made a mistake. After finishing the painting I really enjoyed this unit in grade 8 art and I would like to try to use more curves if I get to work in this type of unit again.
