Thank you for this - I found it VERY helpful. I’ve been looking on the internet for at least 5 years to find a way to draw 2 point perspective where the vanishing points are off the page and I’ve found it next to impossible to find a good explaination and your is the BEST I’ve found.... I like to sketch urban scenes and almost always the vanishing points of the 2 point perspective building/s I’d like to draw are off the page... I figured out that using a 2 point perspective grid would be helpful and I’m really glad that you showed us how to draw an object using the grid...
awesome method and really well explained, love it, thank you very much! it is hard to draw lines to vp outside page. not anymore. would be great to get a video from you explaining your phrase "find angles for my creaitve idea"... how do you find these? what do you exactly mean?
Thanks for your comment! Your 'creative idea' means, what do you envision for your drawing. The rules of perspective are there to help you successfully fulfill your drawing and it shouldn't be the other way around. So, if you want the majority of your drawing happening below the horizon line, then you would place your HL and vanishing points up higher on the page. So you use these principles as tools. I hope that made sense.
@@clthornockThank you! It makes perfect sense. I understand HL and your decision about where it should be but always struggle to figure out how far VP should be on each side...
Good question. The station point represents the place where the viewers eye is located in relationship to the scene observed. It is located below the center of vision (which is a point on the horizon where the eye is focused). Also in one-point perspective the station point is found below the vanishing point on your paper. But remember, it isn't really on your paper but floating in front of the paper somewhere. If you draw the SP close to the horizon line, it reduces the size of the drawing because there is a cone of vision that radiates out from the SP at a 60 degree angle (30 degrees left and right). The further down the page, or the farther away the SP is from the HL, the wider the scene that can be drawn. So, in a sense it is a bit arbitrary or it all depends on the drawing you want to make. Sorry for the long answer. Hope that helped.
@@clthornock Thank you Really much for your Long answer, It Helped Alot. Also 1 more Question... does the vps always have to be 90 or does it depend on the lens being used for the drawing.
Thank you for this tutorial! Finally able to understand the Brewer method in a simpler way.
You're very welcome!

So glad you found this helpful. Happy drawing!
Love the sheet of paper measurement trick
Very useful technique, and well explained, thank you! Can you use it also for 3 points perspective?
Absolutely. You just build out a series of lines that converge to a vanishing point located off the top or bottom.
@@clthornock thanks!

I loved the presentation - but unfortunately the pencil mark I couldn’t see. 🧐
Thanks for the feedback Monika. I will have to experiment with the lighting.
how do you determine your Station Point
Good question. The station point represents the place where the viewers eye is located in relationship to the scene observed. It is located below the center of vision (which is a point on the horizon where the eye is focused). Also in one-point perspective the station point is found below the vanishing point on your paper.

And also...How do you know what your COV limit is when you dont really know where your Sp is off the Page.
Thanks in Regards
1 more...hehe The sp in 2 pp. how is that one determined. or the cvp on the hl
I think the Sp in 2pp is the Dominant vertical Which is the Vertical line all the way to the front of the drawing
