It's hard to believe, because we think the center should be the middle. If you divided
this in half, your center would be here, and it would not be in perspective, and it wouldn't
look right, so, we've got our center right here. Now what you do, is you go from this
line here, this mark here, to your center of your building, and make a mark along the
top line of the wall. Here's the wall. There's the center of that wall, and here are my two
inch increments, so here's the next one. Here's the next one, that's almost straight up, and
here's the next one, and let's see if I can fit another one in, yes, I can. Now if you
draw those directly down, you know vertical, parallel to the sides, the walls of your building.
What you will get, is you'll notice each time I do one, I'm getting a larger section, which
works out. In other words, the front rectangle of your building is larger than the next one,
and so on. This is how you would also establish, like the telephone poles. You turn it around,
and you start to see the railroad track. This is how you establish all those kinds of items,
in perspective.
