Two Point Angular

Perspective
Two point angular perspective is the technical drawing for a
two point perspective. The difference between what you
know and this drawing if that we need to shoe the correct
projection lines from the plan view to come up with the 3D
image.
Step one:
There are 3 lines we
need to include in this
drawing:
Picture plane
Eye level line
Ground line
Picture Plane: an imaginary
transparent plane (face) on
which the plan view sits on.
This is placed about of the
way up the page.
Picture plane
Step two:
There are 3 lines we
need to include in this
drawing:
Picture plane
Eye level line
Ground line
Eye Level Line: The eye level
line is the sightline
determining the direction in
which the observer is
assumed to be looking
Picture plane
Eye level line
Step three:
There are 3 lines we
need to include in this
drawing:
Picture plane
Eye level line
Ground line
Ground line: Ground line is
the line that represents the
ground, the 3D projection will
sit near this line
Picture plane
Eye level line
Ground Line
Step four:
After determining these
lines we need to show
the station point.
Station Point: this shows
where the person and the eye
of the observer stands
Picture plane
Eye level line
Ground Line
Station point
Step five:
Now we have the layout of lines and points
done, we need to draw in our plan view .
This should sit on the Picture Plane

Step six:
Firstly, find the angle of the plane
Secondly, take the same angle from the
station point to the picture plane

Step seven:
Where those lines (the ones you just drew)
meet the picture plane, take vertical lines
down to the E.L.L.
Next, draw a horizontal line through the
station point, where the vertical and
horizontal lines meet are our 2 VANISHING
POINTS.

Then take them from the picture plane
down vertically to the ground line.

Step Nine:
Height line: The height line will be taken
from the closest corner of the object to the
picture plane. (it may be touching it, like this
case). To find the H.L take a vertical line
from where the corner touches the P.P
down to the G.L

With all the projection lines in we now need
to put an elevation in ( sitting on the G.L)

Step Twelve:
As out elevation drawings show our height
of the building and the sizes on the exterior
of the building, we need to take projection
lines from the elevation across the page.

Step Thirteen:
Now we have all the projection lines we can
construct the 3d image by taking the closest
point on the plan that is projected onto the
ground line, to the vanishing points.

Step fourteen:
It is now a matter of looking at the plans
and the lines you have projected down into
the G.L and E.L.L area and construct your

Step fifteen:
If you are certain you have completed the
drawing correctly, now you can add in your
line weight. (e.g detail line (medium weight)
and out line (darker line)
