Learn how to draw buildings and shadows accurately with 3 point perspective. This easy perspective drawing video explores how to draw and sketch accurate shadows created by buildings etc., using three point perspective. You'll learn how to do this by following my simple step by step approach to drawing. Starting with a building drawn using two point perspective another vanishing point is created for the sun. Using this vanishing point and another one directly beneath the sun on the eye level I explain step by step how to plot the lines from these vanishing points through each wall of the building to create a point. Joining these points creates the shadow.
The video is designed to improve beginners ability to sketch and draw buildings and their shadows and those wishing to understand perspective more fully.
