AI GeneratedThis video provides a step-by-step tutorial on drawing a building using two-point perspective. The instructor demonstrates how to evolve a simple cube into a complex architectural form through extrusions and setbacks, while explaining the technical rules of vanishing points, environmental detailing, and professional rendering techniques using markers to create depth and realism.
In this video I want to draw a building in two-point perspective so I put two
vanishing points on the horizon line and I start with drawing a simple cube and
then I draw each floors line so I divide the initial cube into the number of the
floors that I have so on each side I divide each side in two and I want to
have a setback here now I want to draw a cylinder in the mid part of the building
for this part I extrude this part don't forget to draw the thickness of the
ceiling and the floor part so I continue the lines of the cylinder and I continue
this a cylinder form on the roof now I have a setback again here I continue the
form of the cylinder up to the ground floor in perspective drawing we should
just pay attention to the correct vanishing point the parallel lines are going to the
same vanishing point if you get confused you can draw a simple plan the top view of the
form to see which lines are parallel when you are drawing the 3d form in perspective
drawing you see we all started from a simple cube and level by level we are actually designing
and creating different forms based on that initial simple cube so that would be the interior
now here I draw the thickness of the ceiling of each floor now I will make setbacks and the
windows on this part now let's go to the other part to the right side again setback and here
I draw the windows to practice ideating forms you can just start with a cube you can draw it
in one or two point perspective or even three point perspective depends on your skill and then
you can start making a form by making extrusion and setbacks or adding different forms like here
we have a cylinder and a cube in one form now let's add some vegetation a palm tree here it's
really easy to draw and very attractive when you add these environmental elements you make you
drawing come to life the structure of this cylinder part maybe a diagrid structure now
the lights of the street you should pay attention that the top and bottom side of this vertical
element the lights should be on the same line toward the vanishing point as we go near the
toward the vanishing point the distance looks smaller the figures the point in drawing figures
is just the head should be the head of all the figures should be on the horizon line if you are
drawing the perspective in observer actually a street level observer view now we want to render
this building we start with the black marker since the Sun is always on above the building
so under the surfaces should be dark and the opposite side of the Sun ray if the Sun is
shining from the right so the opposite part will be in shadow and it's it's colored in black now
we go to the gray marker and actually color the shades and the shade parts in gray my marker is
wg3 the code is wg3 the parts that they get less light will be gray when you add these shades and
shadows all the extrusions and setbacks get visible and the form is shown in a better way
the windows and the setback windows will be in shades so they they're colored in a gray now some
vegetations here would be a good idea at the background you just add some green stains to
show the vegetations the darker parts you use the darker green for the shadow and dark parts
of the vegetations under the leaves would be darker because they get less light now I want
to use a warm color for the facade of the building and for this central part the cylinder
I choose the blue because I want to color the sky in blue so all the glass parts are reflection of
the sky so I use the same color of the sky for the central glass part the cylinder part now the
sky at the background green for the leaves little by little you add details and colors and materials
shades and shadows to your drawing to make it look more real and come to life that's it
hope you enjoyed practice and share with me
