How to Draw Buildings in Perspective
Ever want to be a big city artist, for real? Well, this is the place to be! We'll teach you how to draw buildings in perspective. Grab a pencil and let's draw!
Steps

Draw a standard rectangle. Then, at a 30° angle difference, draw another rectangle. The bottom right corner of both should be connected.

Note the area where the second rectangle intersects the first. Erase those lines and shade in the rest of the remaining second rectangle.

Draw into the first rectangle as if it were a normal sketch and now your career has begun!

Recall how a cube looks? You need to draw a similar structure but with an increased height to give it a look and feel of a tall building.

Remember that the shaded portion of the structure would be the one opposite to the sun. And hence the shade.

Rotate your drawing paper. This will provide you a much deeper perspective while you draw.

Get a 3D view. This view can be obtained from only two viewing angles. One would be shaded on the left, the other on the right. If you draw a rectangle with no shades, then you can make it look as the front portion of the structure.

Proceed with your drawing. If you are planning to make a vanishing point perspective (the image goes on continuous till the center) remember to draw respective structures on both sides of your main structure. That is a building would have 3-sides front facing. The right and the left portion, in this case, will be shaded. Now you can draw streets on both sides of the building.

Draw from a building's top view (Eagle-eye) perspective. To do this you can actually draw a box and show tiny people and vehicles around the box to give the impression of 'height'. You can then later modify this box to look as a terrace of the building.

What's your reaction?
