Draw a one point perspective city and a room!

Here is a printable handout of the one point perspective grid that both artists started with.

Just download it and enlarge it to letter size.

Then slip it underneath a piece of lightweight drawing paper.

Don't trace the grid. Just start drawing your city or room, using the underlying grid lines as a guide. After a few drawings you will find that you don't even need the grid any more.

Drawing on a larger paper? No problem. Use a ruler to make the 'X', starting at each corner, as in the first video. Next, put the grid handout underneath your big paper, lining the vanishing point up with the center of the 'X'.

Lightly trace and extend the grid lines onto your larger paper and then begin.

I created step by step worksheets for my students on how to draw furniture by copying and pasting the directions from this website.

The worksheet below comes from the now defunct website Dawn's Brain. It was created by a high school art teacher.
