I have buildings but i dont know how to build roads

1 point Start with a horizon line. then draw a point on in all the things going away from you should go to that point.
2 point. Start with a horizon line. Draw two points, try to put them fairly far away from each other. When starting out it's okay to put them where the horizon line meets the edge of the paper, as you get better move the points off the paper. Everything going up and down should be perfectly vertical everything going left to right should be perfectly horizontal.
everything going right should head to the right vanishing point everything heading left should go to the left vanishing point. Anything going up and down should be exactly vertical.
3 point. Start with a horizon line and a vertical axis line. draw your 2 points like you would in 2 point perspective. Left lines go the the left vanishing point right lines go to the right vanishing point.
If your looking up at the subject the third point should go above the horizon line on the vertical axis line you drew
If your looking down at the subject the thrid point should go below the horizon line on the axis you drew.
All lines going up or down should head for the 3rd point

This is the very basics of perspective. If you can draw a building, you can draw a road. A road is just a flat plane like the roof of your house.
If the angle of your road changes your vanising point will move. That's why it's important to have a horizon line. If your road turns right your vanishing point will move to the right, if your road turns left your vanishing point will move left. Draw each part of the road one by one. when the road turns move your vanishing point and lead your lines to that point.
If your road goes over a hill the vanishing point will move vertically up from the vanishing point. you can draw a point vertically above the original point, if it goes down you can draw a point below the vanishing point. If it goes up and left you'd move you VP up and left.

Answer 2

It depends on the kind of road. City streets are usually straight and drawing them using mathematical perspective will work the same way as with buildings. Country roads are a little different in that they are more likely winding...but the principle is the same...the road is wider in the foregroung, narrowing as it goes closer to the horizon or to the vanishing point; just don't try doing it with a ruler.
Make observations from real life or photographs of country roads. Trace them, then look at the tracing...to better notice how the road bends and winds toward the vanishing point.

Answer 3

The farther away the smaller the road will get. So two lines for a road with slowly come together at the vanishing point.

Answer 4

you're able to have better than one perspective in a drawing that could make 2 vanishing factors.....? *** edit *** Sorry that made no sense. I easily have performed a 2 element perspective drawing the position there have been 2 strains ensuing in a horizon. The horizon line is what stopped both strains from growing a member of into one.

Answer 5

Pick a point anywhere on the paper and put a dot
Now all lines that are horizontal to the ground shout point towards that dot

The lowe the dor is the lower is your view point and vise versa

Try it and draw some boxes on the page all lines that are not vertical
you will find it works
