How to draw in perspective Click to see a step-by-step slideshow. WHAT YOU NEED: ruler, pen, pencil, paper.

Step 2 draw a few perspective guidelines to get the picture started Using the pencil, and ruler, draw 3 to 4 lines starting from the vanishing point to the other side of the page.

In such cases, if the perspective isn’t fairly accurate, the drawings start to fall apart. I like to keep the lines light and not overdoing them, using a 2B pencil.

SketchBook now has 1, 2, and 3 point perspective guides, a snapping toggle, vanishing point lock, and horizon line visibility. We also added the Customize, Infinite, and Constrained Grid tools.

Draw over both squares and the diagonal lines between them and erase the rest of the pencil lines. That's how you draw in perspective!
