How to draw a city in 2 point perspective:

Remember the rules for 2 point perspective. There are only vertical and diagonal (receding) lines.
TIPS:
          -DRAW LIGHTLY!!!
        -While watching the video pay attention to where I place my ruler and how I line it up to the vanishing points.
          -When drawing buildings, start with the corner (vertical line) closest to you.
          -Sides of buildings, windows and doors will always be a vertical line.
          -The top of windows and doors will line up to the vanishing point of the side of the building it is on. (Example: if your
           door/window is on the left half of the building it will line up to the left vanishing point.)
          -Street lights, trees, and signs are drawn similar to how they are drawn in 1-point perspective. Draw the guiding lines
            first. Keep vertical lines vertical. Everything else lines up to one of the vanishing points.

IDEAS FOR YOUR PROJECT:

You are to design your own theme park main street. Shops, restaurants, and as much detail as possible. You can draw your street in any perspective you chose. Include structures suitable to your theme such as mountains, castles, roller coasters, vendor carts, etc.

You don't necessarily have do a theme park, you can draw a neighborhood, your dream house, countryside, futuristic city in space...BE CREATIVE!!

Which ever perspective you choose you should have at least 12 buildings or structures in accurate 1 or 2 point perspective. Follow the criteria below.

You will be graded on Creativity, Craftsmanship (neatness) and Composition (fill the page and include all criteria).

1-Point Perspective (street/side view):

-at least 8 buildings on the street view
-4 to 6 instances where buildings overlap, put buildings behind. (12-14 buildings total)
-street or roads and/or pavement (sidewalk)
-other details like trees, cars, garbage cans, planters, mailboxes, street signs, fences, lights etc. AT LEAST 5 different details represented!!!
-details on all buildings like windows, doors, signs etc.
-add values (shading)to all the objects/buildings you draw
-Don’t forget texture is a way to add value also.

2-Point Perspective Requirements:

-8 buildings in different 2 point perspectives (above horizon line and below) from street view
-Show 4 to 6 instances of overlapping buildings, behind the other buildings (12-14 buildings total)
-Add at least 5 different components such as signs, stop lights, trees, garbage cans, planters, balconies, benches, mailboxes, etc., in accurate two-point perspective
-Draw to the edge of the paper on all sides.
-Shade with pencil (add values and texture).
-Don’t forget texture is a way to add value also.
