In this step-by-step tutorial, we&rsquo;ll cover the basic principles for creating a perspective drawing, and show you how to use PicsArt&rsquo;s drawing tools. Read on to learn more!<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_1_Create_Grid\">Step 1: Create Grid<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-e46ce011-22b1-3e6b-9d24-1cf7dc275dfe\">You can use the line option in the Shape Tool to create your grid, or draw it freehand using the Brush Tool. Start by selecting your center point and drawing a vertical and horizontal axis from there. Select your vanishing points on the horizontal axis, and the points that will mark the height of your building on the vertical axis. Draw diagonal lines connecting the two points (these are called orthogonals), as well as a few additional lines to guide you as you draw. When you&rsquo;re done, create a new layer, increase the thickness of your line in the Shape Tool, and outline your building, using your grid as a guide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn42.picsart.com\/181387289000201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"How to Create grid for Perspective drawing\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn44.picsart.com\/181387305000201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"Second layer for the prospective drawing\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_2_Sketch_Building_Details\">Step 2: Sketch Building Details<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Create a new layer and select the Brush Tool. Continuing to use your grid as a guide, start adding architectural details like windows and doors. You might need to draw additional lines parallel to your vertical axes to guide you. Using a thin black brush with a reduced opacity, start adding in shading.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn52.picsart.com\/181387336000201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"Sketch building details in prospective drawing\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn59.picsart.com\/181387507001201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"Outline the scetches of the prospective\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_3_Finalize_Sketch\">Step 3: Finalize Sketch<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-e46ce011-22b1-df08-114e-c9c3d1088ca7\"><span>Merge all layers except your background layer. Create a new layer and trace a clean outline of your building. Don&rsquo;t forget to retrace the grid lines from your original sketch; they will guide you as you continue with your drawing. When you&rsquo;re done, hide your original sketch. In a new layer, add shading by drawing a series of parallel lines in the shaded areas. Sketch any other details you like to add into your scene.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn58.picsart.com\/181387638000201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"Clean outline of the prospective\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn55.picsart.com\/181387660001201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"Adding shading to the perspective outline\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_4_Add_Details\">Step 4: Add Details<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-e46ce011-22b2-2721-2bab-41668d09d75f\">Adding layers as you go, use a thin black brush to add more shading and detail to your sketch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn46.picsart.com\/181387698003201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"Use black brush to add more shading\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn56.picsart.com\/181387720002201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"Draw detailsfor the perspective drawing\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_5_Finish_Sketch_Add_Color\">Step 5: Finish Sketch &amp; Add Color<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-e46ce011-22b2-8727-1660-dff5ea3f6d0e\">In a new layer, use a thin black brush to finalize your drawing, adding grid lines as you go to guide you. Use a thick, light blue brush with a reduced opacity to color in your sky.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn45.picsart.com\/181387995001201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"Finalize your perspective drawing\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn44.picsart.com\/181388027003201.jpg?r1024x1024\" alt=\"Color the sky with blue brush\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_6_Add_Color_Shading\">Step 6: Add Color &amp; Shading<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-e46ce011-22b2-efa2-4c73-5cdda269fe1b\">Continue adding color to your drawing, using a brush with a reduced opacity.
