1, FIRST, PRAW A COLLECTION OF SQUARE SHAPES, THESE ARE YOUR ROOFTOP OUTLINES. REMEMBER THAT NOT ALL BUILDINGS HAVE A RECTANGLE FOR A BASE, MANY OF THEM LOOK LIKE BADLY PROPORTIONEP TETRIS PIECES. 2, NEYT, CHOOSE YOUR VANISHING POINT. IN GENERAL, THIS WILL BE RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE FRAME, UNLESS YOU WANT TO DISTORT THE IMAGE FOR WHATEVER REASON, AS IF YOU TOOK A PHOTOGRAPH AND THEN CUT A STRIP OFF OF ONE SIDE. 3. NOW DRAW LINES GOING FROM THE EDGE OF THE PAGE, THROUGH EACH OF YOUR INWARP FACING ICORNERS, TO THE VANISHING POINT. THIS WILL TAKE A FEW TRIES. CORNERS THAT ARE SQUARE, ONLY ONE CORNER (THE FAR CORNER) IS NOT VISIBLE FROM THE CENTER. IT MAY BE HELPEUL TO PO THIS ON A SEPARATE LAVER, IE YOU'RE GOING DIGITAL.SP NAC Wael I) | ‘ AI ~~ Zn | \U } |i - es K {| ZA # 7) F Aj ‘f. ERASE THE PART OF THE VANISHING POINT LINES THAT EXTENPS FROM THE VANISHING POINT TO ITS CORNER. KEEP THE PART OF THE LINE THAT GOES FROM THE CORNER TO THE EPGE OF THE PAGE. THE BLUE SQUARE EDGES ARE THERE TO ILLUSTRATE THE NEXT STER 5, NOW WE ERASE ALL THE INSIDE EDGES. ANY ED6E THAT IS NOT VISIBLE FROM THE VP IS NOT NEEDER NOW WE'RE STARTING TO SEE BUILDINGS TAKE SHAPE! I JUST HAD TO DECIDE WHICH OVERLAPPING BUILDINGS WOLD BE IN FRONT OR BEHING AND T'th DONE! THIS TECHNIQUE COULP ALSO BE LISED FOR TOP-POWN VIEWS. HERE T ERASED THE LINES THAT WERE NOT ERASED IN STEP 4 BEFORE, ANP ALLOWED THEM TO 6O POWN JUST FAR ENOLIGH TO NOT HIT THE ROADS T HAD DRAWN IN, REMEMBER THAT —— THE BASIC SHAPE OF THE AL TS ROOF EXTENDS ALL THE WAY POW, YOu WILL NEEP MORE BUILDINGS ON THE SIDES, BUT WITHOUT ROOFTOPS
