DESIGN BASICS
Multi-Point Drawing
Purpose
Craft
• to depict the 3-dimensional
world on a 2-D plane.
Craft counts and you will be graded on it.
Please take the time to clean up all stray pencil
marks, smudges, excess glue or rubber cement.
Make your lines straight, sharp, crisp and clean.
How
• Select an actual scene (not a fairytale land) that contains objects with
multiple vanishing points.
• Draw the scene in multi-point perspective. That
means there will be multiple vanishing points.
Specs
• Work on paper 11x17 or larger
• Rather than erase the perspective lines
you create, leave some as a part of your
composition. Allow the perspective lines
to “break the box” and go into the margin
or border of your work (see example). The
border should be at least 1 inch around.
• Use graphite. Use gradation and value
to show the volume of the forms.

• process book (this can be in a pocket folder,
3-ring binder or stapled—nothing too fancy).
