Before starting
the outline drawing of the house, guides need to be made for the two point
perspective that will be used. This drawing should be fun, so the perspective
doesn't have to be 100 percent accurate. Fun is the key word here.
Making the perspective guides:
1. Start by finding the horizon line. You know, eye level.
2. Beginning with the right side, draw a line above the center of the
house down to the horizon line to the right of the house.
3. Move the end points of the line to find the vanishing point on the
horizon line.
4. Now use the Selection Tool to select the line and make a copy (Command
C) of that line and paste it in front (Command F). Click an empty area
to deselect the line.
5. Use the Direct Selection Tool to select the anchor point on the end
above the house (this should select the line that was just pasted in front)
and drag it down to the bottom center of the house. The two lines should
be making a "V" shape now.
6. Select both lines now and go to OBJECT/BLENDS/BLEND OPTIONS and choose
"Specified Steps" and enter a number (I used 30) for the number
of steps. Click OK.
7. Select the "Blend Tool" from the tool bar and click on the
left top point then the left bottom point. The lines are blended into
a perspective pattern..
8. With the blended lines still selected choose OBJECT/BLENDS/EXPAND.
9. Finally choose VIEW/MAKE GUIDES.
10. Do the same thing for the left side.
