Perspective Practices, Continued
Dividing lines
or receding
areas into parts
in perspective
(Continued)
When drawing vertical divisions in perspective, use this table and refer to
figure 5-24.
Step
Action
1
Construct the first two points with the desired space in between
them (A and B).
2
Locate a vanishing point (VP) and draw lines C and D from the
original two objects. No part of the objects should extend above or
below the receding lines.
3
Mark the center of the first post and draw a line (E to VP).
4
From the top of the first post, draw a diagonal line through the
center of the second post. The third post will be located where the
diagonal line intersects the line representing the receding group line
(D to VP).
5
Repeat this procedure locating any number of members desired,
drawing one at a time.
Figure 5-24 illustrates drawing vertical divisions in space.
