How to Draw a House in 2-Point Perspective in a Landscape, step by step, with shading and tone:

Step 1:
Draw a horizontal line across your page.

Step 2:
Draw a cross towards each end of this horizontal line for the two vanishing points.

These two vanishing points are where all horizontal lines will go if they are at an angle going away from us, the viewer.

Step 3:
Draw a vertical line, for the near side of the house we are drawing.

Step 4:
Draw two diagonal lines from the top and bottom of this vertical line to the vanishing point on the left, for the left side of the building, and then two more diagonal lines to the vanishing point to the right, for the right side of the building.

Step 5:
Draw two vertical lines either side of our original vertical line, for the two far sides of our house.

Step 6:
Draw a triangle on the top left diagonal, for the side of a roof.

Step 7:
Draw a line from the point of this triangle to the vanishing point on the right.

Step 8:
Copy the right side of the triangle as a simple line for the roof of the house on the right hand side.

We how have a basic house in 2-point perspective for beginners.

The next stage in this drawing is to add tone and shading to the house and trees and landscape and a shadow on the road in perspective.
