How to Find Roof Angles That Don't Go to Vanishing Points

Ever get lost drawing roofs when the roof angles don't go to the vanishing points? Here's an easy method to work it out!

Finally someone explains roof angles. I never understood how to do roofs so they never looked right. Thank you so much.

Always love to hear this. Thanks for sharing 😀

Hi Stephen, thanks for the tutorial! It was very helpful. Would you consider making a tutorial on how to find the center of a rectangle/square in 1, 2, and 3 point perspective as it would relate to drawing houses with different roof types and buildings?

[@stephentraversart]

No need for a video, it’s as simple as the crossing point of the two diagonals. Have fun with it. 😀

BRILLIANT! Just what I needed. Now if I could only slow it down to see exactly where/how you are coming up with these roof vanishing points. Thank you!

[@ranjanachand9306]

Interesting but still confusing 😀 will need to watch again

[@stephentraversart]

Hope it makes more sense the second time for you. Sometimes concepts need a second time. 😀

Wow, its like you know how to think from the perspective of a beginner. you explain things brilliantly. thank you for this upload

[@stephentraversart]

Thanks. We were all beginners once. And in many things I still am. Keep at it!😀

I cannot thank you enough! I've been struggling so much with roofs in perspective and this is a lifesaver. 😃

[@stephentraversart]

I always love to hear this. Thanks for sharing. All the best with it. 😀

Great tutorial! This is something I've always wondered but could never find a clear explanation for. Instantly subscribed, thanks :) Would you ever consider doing a tutorial on less traditional buildings in perspective? Almost alien-like structures and stuff!

[@stephentraversart]

Great to hear Heimruth. That’s not really something I have experience in - I love sci-fi but I’ve never tried to draw it. But maybe. Stay tuned. 😀

@@stephentraversart I sure will. I've seen a couple others and found great value in your content! Keep up the good work Stephen, I hope many more find these guides soon.

[@stephentraversart]

Thanks. Perhaps you could tell your friends then about my channel. That would help me. 😀

[@AbiNomac]

I’m saving most of your videos.

[@stephentraversart]

It’s great you’re finding them so helpful. Thanks 😀

[@AbiNomac]

@@stephentraversart - More than you. Thank you

I think this tutorial needed color markers, hard to follow all the lines.

[@stephentraversart]

Sorry about that. 😬
