Two-Point Perspective Grid Method

[@shinek3891]

this was a big help to me last year and here i am again. thank you for this! you just saved my college life

[@DrCPriest]

OMG! Thanks! I hope you do well in college. Where and what are you studying? I’m trying to teach this now in a high school setting (after many years teaching at the college level) and want to show teens why this important. Thanks.

thank you so much, i was struggling with the perspective assignment and i found this video, so so helpful

[@HelloMortyLeigh]

This was so helpful and I sincerely appreciate your instruction! It's been 8 years since I was drafting regularly and I was amazed at how much I could not remember! This brought it all back and it made the project I'm working on so much easier. Thank you!

Thank you so much, this has been a total lifesaver! It seems nearly impossible to find tutorials about how to draw a 2 point interior grid to scale. They're usually rough sketches or estimated gridlines. This really helped break it down step by step to see the room come together. I wasn't getting it just from reading it in a textbook. The only thing I'm struggling with now is how I could do this as a section.... For example, I have an assignment where I have to draw a room's interior in perspective using a photo from a magazine, which means that you can't see all four corners. To fill my whole 24x36 page using this method, I would have to somehow have a work surface much larger to draw the entire floor, rather than just 1/2 or 3/4 of the room. A similar video explaining this process would be very helpful!

Nice question. To draw a partial room, you would still need to roughly imagine the room entirely, create the grid for it for accuracy of drawing the interior features and furnishings, then draw in detail the 1/2 to 3/4 view of the room, and crop the image to only show the area needed. This is pretty common. You never actually show a whole room, but only what you would see if you were standing in it. You possibly could draw the grid in 1 1/2” scale, if you had a 2’ x 4-5’ work surface (like a large drafting table or stiff drafting board, TV cabinet top or a kitchen counter). You could draw it smaller and scan it, then print it at a larger scale or go to a copy shop and enlarge it 150+%, then trace or transfer to the paper you’re required to use. If you’re in a class, follow their rules, but otherwise you have a few options to experiment with for the drawing. Have fun and post some images.

@@DrCPriest Hello Master, please also post the tutorial for drawing a three-point grid perspective

[@beccareynolds4625]

The best video I’ve seen. Thank you so much!! This has been way trickier than I thought it would be. x

[@DrCPriest]

Thank you! I'd love to see some of the perspectives you create. I feel that with software like SketchUp and Revit, perspective is becoming a lost art.

[@elysegalloway]

Thank you! My school's videos do this differently, but this is *much* more clear.

Thank you very helpful as an interior design student 🌸

amazing, thank you so much from germany! It helps me alot with my interior design studying!

[@mahmoodal-haddad2611]

how much is each square to be exact?

Thank you so much for this video, it helped me a lot 👍🏻.

[@peterbirchwoodart]

Very helpful and thorough! Thanks much!

Thanks for sharing this video. I learnt a lot with it.

This was so clear and so helpful! Thank you:)

Tysm u literally legend!! ❤❤❤

[@sambulate]

Thanks for this. As another person commented, there are very few videos on how to do this with measurements. I am trying to put together a two-point exterior perspective, but can't find much on that, either. Can you use this same grid for an exterior perspective, as well?

[@thelatephilipj]

i love this method thank you for sharing with us!

[@DrCPriest]

Thank you!

[@saraomar8278]

very clear and helpful thanks a lot

[@svenkamog2232]

Such a good tutorial it's the first one I could complete without a ruler 📐 and it still turned out well 👍

[@rohithavarghese5409]

Thank you..very clearly explained

[@1stcaveontheleft]

So good. Thank you

[@emreozbek6770]

Don't we need to use the measuring points or 45° vp?

[@rollatorskatemovies6738]

really helpful, thanks

[@jamiekomodo1751]

I guess this works, but nearer to the observer there's a good amount of distortion due to having the 'true height' line on the far wall; although,m I could draw a 60 degree cone of vision circle with a compass from the center of vision, and restrict my interior scene to that area.

[@TJFNixon]

Hi Chris. Many thanks for the video. It’s very helpful. I have a question of you don’t mind. Can you change the height of the “ground” line? Is it a line where the scale starts so it’s seen as where the height matches the width scale? Because if you extended the floor squares past the walls they would be “in scale” where they meet the “ground” line? I hope that makes sense? 😂🧐😃🤷🏻‍♂️

[@DrCPriest]

If you’re trying to extend the perspective downwards to show depth, into the floor plane, I would recommend continuing the true height line below the ground line and mirroring what you did to create the perspective grid above the ground line. Another option, if I’m getting the question, is to raise the horizon line. Much easier to answer if we were at a drafting table. :)

[@TJFNixon]

@@DrCPriest thanks. I’ll give it a go. 😀
