house
Things to consider
•
All vertical
construction lines are
parallel to one
another
•
All vertical lines
constructed at the
intersection point of
the two lines running
towards the
vanishing points
•
The two further away
from each other you
place your two
vanishing points, the
flatter your objects will
appear
•
This style of perspective
requires choosing two
vanishing points
Things to consider
•
All horizontal construction
lines lead to a single
vanishing point, based on
the plane on which they
are located on
•
One or both vanishing points
can be placed outside of
your canvas, as well as inside
