In Two Point Perspective you deal with the same thing, however this time you have two Vanishing Points on your horizon line. This is good for viewing a majority of a three dimensional object. For this example again I'm going to use a building since starting out you really want to start by using something that you know is simple to draw. Practicing this, I recommend that you use a mostly geometric object like a building instead of something organic like people.

These are my construction lines for this project. It may be hard to see now but you can create an enormous shape or a smaller one from just this setup. Notice TWO vanishing points instead of one. This will give us our depth for this .

From here I've added a simple corner building to the mix. Let's keep going.

Here I've added some other buildings in the distance to give it more depth. This is the point where I wonder if my roommate is being bothered by the fact I've now listened to the same song fifty six times in a row. Moving on.

And that's all there is to it. This has been a basic tutorial on two point perspective. Remember to draw something new every day!
