Sketching!

Point perspective

Perspective drawing is a style of sketching that helps to sketch
In more than one point perpective you can see diffrent angles like for example buildings in 2 point perspective are drawings were you can see two sides of an object, Most commonly a building
In this type of sketch things get smaller the closer they are to the horizon to add depth and make it look 3d

Vanishing Point & Horizon line

When you start your sketch you will draw a sraight line across paper from one side to the other and then make a dot anywhere around in that line the ine is the horizon line and the dot is the vanishing the varishing point. Anything from below the line is the floor and anything above is the sky and you can add things like mountains, the sun, clouds and even any artistic thing that makes your art your own. Everything that you draw will end in the vanishing point

Adding the road or train tracks

To start your drawing you will draw the road or train tracks to do this you make to lines that start from the bottom of the page one from one of the sides the other one from the other side and they will both end at the vanishing point. At the end of this step you should have a triangle
If you are making a city the triangle is the road.
If you are making traing tracks you add horizontal lines making each of the lines the blocks making each of them smaller as they get closer to the horizon. Each of the blocks have to be in the area of the triangle you made. Then you will erase the gaps between the tracks
Then you will make a the railway tracks to do this you will make two lines close to eachother to make one of the tracks this line will be in the inside on the tracks and close to the end of the wooden planks. ( To see exact location of the track look at video below )

Making a house/building

How to make a building

To make a building you will start by making a long regtangle to make to front of the building. this part decided how tall and where you first buildng will be then you wil make a line to connect all of the corners of the building and the vanishing point. You will do this to all the corners of the rectangle exept for the bottom right corner since that one is going to be covered
Then you will make a parallel line isinde of the lines you just drew covering the triangle like shape (there should be two of them) to the left side of the rectangle and the top of the trangle. these two lines should be perpendicular to eachother. where you put these lines will determine how long the building will be
Finally erase the line after the parpendicular line and you are done. Now add more buildings

How to make a house

Final details

Nowi you want to add trees you can add trees that get smaller to closer you are to the horizon line
