How to Understand 2-Point Perspective: Drawing Cubes and Houses from Different Views

In this beginner-friendly lesson, you’ll learn the basics of 2-point perspective by starting with the most important building block: a simple cube. We’ll walk through how to place two vanishing points, draw guidelines, and position the cube so it sits naturally in space.
Once the cube is understood, we’ll use it as the foundation for drawing a cartoon house from several different angles. By stretching, stacking, and adjusting the cube, you’ll see how easy it is to build walls, roofs, windows, and doors that feel solid and believable.
We’ll explore:
How to place vanishing points
How to angle the edges of a cube correctly
How to turn that cube into a house
How to draw the same house from multiple viewpoints
How perspective helps your drawings look 3D and more dynamic
This lesson is great for beginners who want to understand perspective and artists who want to build stronger backgrounds and environments.
Grab your pencil and let’s bring your drawings into 3D!
