Drawing Bird's Eye View with Two Vanishing Points
Here, you will learn to make perspective drawings with two vanishing points, with a bird’s eye view. To see something with a bird’s eye view means to see something from above, as if you were a bird.
Instructions for a Bird’s Eye Perspective with Two Vanishing Points
- 1.
- Draw a horizon line (Color A) and mark two points, which you call and .
- 2.
- From , draw four lines towards the lower-right corner. You decide the distance between these four lines (Color B). Name the lines 1, 2, 3 and 4. Line 1 is on top.
