Perspective with two vanishing points

When you see a building from the corner, its edges run to two points on the horizon line. Vertical lines stay vertical.

Second stage of secondary school13 to 16 yearsDraft: Not yet checked by an art teacher.

Why

How do you draw a house that you don't see straight from the front, but from the corner of the street?

With one vanishing point you draw things that are straight in front of you. But usually you see a building, a cupboard or a box at an angle, from a corner.

Then you need two vanishing points: one for each side that runs away from you.
