Description
A little extra something...

So far, in every previous case here, we've drawn one window or door in each section. Four sections? Four windows. Two sections? Two windows. Always one for each "X."

Here, you can get two per "X."

In Figure 14, we- once again!- draw in our wall and Vanishing Point, and once again we draw in an "X."

Here we draw in a line from the Vanishing Point through the lower part of the "X," this line to tell how wide the window will be (it has an arrow and a "!" next to it).

Once again, two vertical lines are drawn from those two points. Whatever we'll draw here, this is how wide it (or they!) will be.

Below that guiding line (in this case), we draw two lines from the Vanishing Point through the vertical lines. We now have a window, but this time, the window is below the center of the "X!"

In Figure 15, draw the line from the Vanishing Point through the top of the window, long enough to go through the arms of the "X."

From those two points, draw two vertical lines. Where they go through the top part of the "X," draw a line from the Vanishing Point, but notice that this time, what you are drawing in is the BOTTOM part of the upper window!

Now you have three sides of that upper window...

In Figure 16, you do the same thing with the bottom part of the lower window. Draw the line from the Vanishing Point through it, going through the "X," then draw two new vertical lines from those points. Where they touch the upper part of the "X"...draw in your final line from the Vanishing Point. You now have the TOP edge of the upper window.

And so you have two windows around one "X!"

Now- why not try this again, only with the left and right sides of the "X?" you can turn the page on its side, if that would make it easier, but because you have angled, rather than vertical lines, expect a different result.

Or just turn Figure 16 on to its left side, and see what two windows side by side on a building drawn going up into the sky look like...turn it on its right side, and now you are hovering high up, seeing a building going downward!

A hint for the Three Point Perspective!

Have fun!
