Do you want to learn how to draw this city street scene (as seen above)?

How to Draw City Street Scene in One Point Perspective – a Simple Step by Step Drawing Lesson

Step 1

First draw a horizontal line (this isn’t the horizon line though) and 2 rectangles (as seen above). The rectangles can be drawn with 2 vertical lines and a horizontal line.

Step 2

Now draw another Horizontal Line (This one is the Horizon Line) and pick a point for the vanishing point (if you want it to look like our buildings, then choose the center).

Step 3

Now take a ruler and draw a line from the bottom and top of each rectangle and draw a line to the vanishing point. You should get an ‘x’ like, criss-cross shape like I did (above).

Step 4

Now draw a vertical line closing off each building (as I did above) and then erase the rest of the line that you don’t need. Now you should have 2 3-dimensional rectangle shapes.

Step 5

Now do you want to add windows? Windows can be added with 1-point perspective as well. Just pick where you want to add the windows. Take a ruler, and draw 2 lines for the top and the bottom of the windows and draw a line to the vanishing point again.

Step 6
