To draw a one point perspective cube:


1,To start, draw a straight line across the middle of the page and put a slash on it. This line is your horizon line and the intersection is the vanishing point, where everything vanishes.

Step One

back to top


2,Then, draw two straight line from the dot.

Step Two

back to top


3,Now draw two lines parallel to the horizon line to connect those two red lines. This rectangle will be the base for your cube.

Step Three

back to top


4,Draw two red lines from the vp(vanishing point) from above the horizon line, sort of like a reflection of the previous two.

Step Four

back to top


5,Draw lines perpendicular to the horizon line from the base of your cube's vertexes.

Step Five

back to top


6,Now draw two lines PARRALLEL to the horizon line connecting the INTERSECTIONS of DIFFERENT perpendicular lines above the horizon line.

Step Six

back to top


7,Okay...this ...cube is kind of slanted, but at least it looks real...kind of...

Step Seven

back to top


8,Well now you can decorate it to make it look more like a cube...like...adding a door:D

Step Eight
