Perspective drawing is a good style to use when drawing in 3D. There are different styles including single point and two point perspective. The basic example below shows how to construct a simple single point perspective drawing of a cube. Using the same skills more complex drawings/designs can be drawn, after a little practice. |
|
1. Draw one side of the cube and select a vanishing point (marked with an 'X'). |
|
2. Draw very faint lines from each corner to the vanishing point. |
|
3. Draw horizontal and vertical lines for the 'back of the cube. | |
4. Go over the faint perspective of the cube so that the lines that make up the cube are dark and sharp. | |
