- Draw your horizon line in the bottom quarter of your paper, and add two vanishing points as you would if you were making a two-point perspective drawing.
- Place one more vanishing point above the horizon line at the top and center of your paper.
- Begin your shape with the FRONT EDGE first. This line should be placed vertically and aimed toward the vanishing point #3.
- Draw converging lines to both vanishing points at the far ends of the horizon line.
- Draw another “vertical line” between the converging lines on either side of the front edge. These “vertical lines” must be aimed toward the vanishing point on the top of the paper.
- When adding details (windows and doors), all typical horizontal lines will go to the bottom two vanishing points, and the vertical lines will be aimed at the vanishing point above.
