Lesson 2: Two-Point Perspective

This week I practiced drawing from a two-point perspective. This was similar to what I did last week except you look see the object from a corner instead of looking at it straight on as you do in one-point perspective. I looked up the definition for this again at www.andrewkongknight.com/hhsart/linearperspective.html and it read, "In two point perspective the corner of the object that you are going to draw is directly facing you. You first establish a corner line and then two bottom lines. Where these bottom lines meet the horizon line you establish two vanishing points. All receding lines will converge to these two points." Once again I am going to refer back to Jill Bliss from Handmade Nation who works with things around her. I can already see how these first two lessons will be helpful in drawing objects that surround me. Here is the picture I drew this week from a two-point perspective.

I've seen a lot of pictures of buildings from this perspective that would be interesting to draw. These first two lessons have been very enjoyable and enlightening and I am looking forward to the lessons to come. I think I am well on my way to becoming a much improved artist.
