Now take your ruler and draw vertical lines down for the left and right side of each window, as pictured above.
Step 7
Now erase the lines that you don’t need so your windows look something like the windows in the picture above.
Step 8
However, if you want to add windows or a door on the side of the building facing us, you don’t need to use the vanishing point. You just need to draw vertical and horizontal lines. So for the door on the wall facing us, draw 2 vertical lines.
Step 9
horizontal lines. So for the door on the wall facing us, draw 2 vertical lines.
Step 9
Now if you wanted to add a sidewalk to this drawing, then just draw a a line from the side of each building and draw it to the vanishing point.
Step 10
And then draw another point where the inside of the sidewalk would be and draw that line down to the vanishing point as well. Notice how the sidewalk disappears at the vanishing point.
Step 11
If you want to draw the lines on the sidewalk then draw horizontal lines all the way down the sidewalk…each line getting closer and closer to the line before it and the line after it. If you would be drawing this, you would make each line progressively more grayed out and thinner.
Step 12
This is what my finished city sidewalks drawing looks like. If I were to draw more city buildings all the way down the sidewalk, they would all disappear at the vanishing point.
I hope that you learned a LOT about one point perspective. We will be continuing this one point perspective tutorial shortly with a tutorial on drawing a locomotive train in one point perspective. Stay tuned.

I love this website it is the cool place to fine perspective drawling
A wonderful site for non artistic teachers to incorporate art in His/her classroom.
Think your site is user friendly – and have saved it in my Favourites. I was ‘talented’ as a child did not pursue drawing and painting once I reached 19 years of age. Now in my sixties with time on my hands I find I have lost so much know how. Trying to get back into drawing and painting…. but oh what a challenge.
Looking at at your site brought back memories. Cheers for now
Maria…I think that is the nicest compliment that I’ve ever had on the website. I’m so glad it helped you. Keep drawing…it is a LOT of fun, isn’t it?
