Basic Drawing for Animation - Set-up for 2 pt perspective

Review the video to refresh your memory on how to set up your photos to complete the LP2 -2pt perspective assessment.


Open your photo in Photoshop. Extend the width
of your image to be able to draw out the perspective lines.
Go to Image -> Canvas Size

Make the Width about 3 X's wider than 
the original width of your photo.
Only change the width size.

Use the Line Tool to extend the perspective lines out
to the right and left sides of your image.
Where the lines intersect will be your vanishing points (V.P.)

Create another "New" layer above your photo layer.
Choose Edit - > Fill

Fill the layer "White"
Turn the visibility of this layer "Off" (the eyeball icon) to trace your image. 
Turn the visibility "On" to to see your tracing separated from the original photo.

Take time to make a nice drawing - 
Create your 'drawing' on separate layer from your perspective lines.

Let me know if you have any questions.
