of your pyramid.(Remember, in two-point perspective, the object
is turned at an angle, so we begin with a front corner rather than
a parallel side). For best results, make your vanishing points as
wide apart as possible. Draw the vanishing lines from the front
corner to the vanishing points.
Judge by eye how far along the vanishing lines you think the
back edges of the pyramid ought to begin, and draw a line
from there to the opposite vanishing point.These lines form
a diamond shape - where they intersect (cross) is the back
corner of the base. Then draw the diagonal lines connecting
the opposite corners as shown. Though they might be nearly
at right angles,the important thing with these lines is that
they connect exactly to the corners - they are NOT supposed
to be parallel or at right angles to the horizon line (though
they may happen to be so).
Now you need to draw a vertical line to the top of the pyramid.
Just imagine how high you want it to be, and draw the line that
far. This line DOES need to be perpendicular (at right angles)
to the horizon line. Straight up-and-down.

If you're drawing a solid pyramid, erase any lines hidden
by the front two faces - the two biggest triangles - to make
them look opaque. Erase your vanishing lines.

Let's draw a simple box using two-point perspective.
First, draw a horizon line about one-third down your page.
Place your vanishing points on the edges of your paper
using a small dot or line .

Now draw the front corner edge of your box, just a

horizon line. Don't put it too close, or you'll end up with
corners that are tricky to draw.

Now we complete the visible sides of the box by
drawing the corners, shown here with red lines.
Draw yours likewise, making sure they are nice and
square, at perfect right angles to the horizon line.
Not even a hint of a tilt!

This is the tricky part. Drawing the back,hidden sides
of the box. You need to draw two sets of vanishing lines.
One set goes from the right-hand corner line (top and
bottom) to the LEFT VP (VP1). Another set goes from the
left-hand corner line to the RIGHT VP (VP2). They cross
over.Make sure you don't try to make any lines meet,
don't draw lines to any other corners, and don't worry
about any of the other lines they might pass through.
Just draw straight from the end of each back line to its
opposing VP, as in the example
of the box. You need to draw two sets of vanishing lines.

Now you simply have to draw a vertical line from the
where the lower two vanishing lines cross, to the
intersection of the upper two lines - the red line in the
example. Sometimes this can be tricky - the slightest
of errors can make them a little off center. If this
happens, either start again making your drawing more
accurate, or make a 'best fit', keeping your line vertical
and fitting it between the corners as best you can.
Don't just join the corners with a tilted line, as that
will make the box misshapen.

Finish off your two-point perspective box by erasing
the excess vanishing lines. You can erase the lines of
the box that would be hidden by they closer sides, or
leave them visible if it is transparent. In this example,

Here are a few more two point perspective examples.
The steps are just the same as before, but the results
look a little different depending on where you draw them.
