two-point perspective in interior drawing

In my previous blog article, I covered the principles of one-point perspective in interior sketching.

Today we will talk about the second most used and popular in architecture and interior drawing — the two-point perspective. It is also referred to as an oblique view since here we are viewing the object, interior, architecture from a corner, we literally see that corner.

So, these 6 principles of two-point perspective in interior sketching are:

All the diagonals in your drawing recede either to one or the other vanishing point.
All vertical lines are perpendicular to the horizon line
There are no horizontal lines except for the horizon line and the lines of the objects which are precisely at its high
The closer the pieces of furniture or decor elements to us, the more details we can see.
All objects decrease in size as they recede into the distance.
All furniture and other interior design elements along the converging lines (or the lines of convergence) become foreshortened.

“Perspective is the key to what you see in our 3D world. Mastering perspective will improve your sketching skills and make your drawings look professional. ”

— Olga Sorokina
