This step by footstep tutorial explains how to draw the 3d shape of a pyramid in two point perspective.

Before going into this tutorial y'all should cheque Perspective Drawing Tutorial for Beginners if you have not already done then.

Footstep ane – Describe a 2 Betoken Perspective Base of operations of the Pyramid

Draw the base of the pyramid past projecting two sets of lines from the horizon line.

This will basically exist a perspective drawing of a square.

Step ii – Determine the Eye of the Base

Draw two intersecting lines going course the corners of the base of operations. The intersection point of these lines will exist the centre of the pyramid.

Footstep iii – Prepare the Height & Position of the Height

From the middle signal of the base project a straight line upwards depending on how tall you lot desire the pyramid to be. The cease of this line will be the tip of the pyramid.

Step 4 – Draw the Sides

From the top of the "meridian line" draw lines to the corners of the base of the pyramid.

The line for the hidden side is optional as its but really needed if you want the pyramid to exist "run across through".

Pace 6 – Finished Two Point Pyramid Drawing

Finally you can erase whatever guide lines to have a finished line cartoon of the pyramid.

To a higher place is the "see through version" of the pyramid and a line drawing one below.

Conclusion

This is a fairly simple tutorial just it can be very useful equally pyramids are fairly mutual shapes. Knowing how to properly structure a one should help y'all avoid making mistakes when cartoon.
