Two-point quick eyeball method

Using X Method
Stage 1 - Exercise - using X method
1. Pick a corner – will be your true height line (THL) 8’
2. Select horizon line – 5’-3”
3. Place vanishing points on the left and right
Stage 2 - Exercise - using X method
4. Draw all your planes (ceiling, floor, and walls) by connecting
the top and bottom of the THL to VPs
Stage 3 - Exercise - using X method
5. Select your depth of the reference (by extending the same
distance of THL to the bottom).
Stage 4 - Exercise - using X method
6. Connect point #4 to LVP and RVP
7. Use the X geometric method (on the floor and the right
wall) to expand the interior space

Stage 7 - Modify the cube into a chair
 Now modify the cube to a
chair
 Divide into 3 equal sections
(seat, arm, and back)
 More complex form from
the cube
 Add details to the cube
 Show line weights
Homework 1- draw door and window
 Door opening is located 3’ from the corner with 4’ opening, 6’-8” height
 Top of window is located at the same height as the door
 1’ from the door jamb
 Window size: 5’ w x 4’ h

 8’ THL
 Show fixed glass and line weights
