How to Draw a City using 1-Point Perspective: A Bird's Eye View

In this art tutorial I show you the basics of one point perspective and one way to draw a City looking from above. See how to draw buildings and skyscrapers with one point perspective, from the first lines and single vanishing point to a complex view of a City, with buildings, bridges, roads and cars.

I hope you like this drawing and give it a thumbs up and I hope you find it useful for your own drawing too.

Now see more of my perspective drawings:

Thank you for watching and see you next time.

Thank you so much for this vid. since school is shut down and people are doing remote learning so your videos really helped me understand how to draw with a one-point perspective. I am going to recommend you to my art teacher because your tutorials are amazing.😊

Wow, this is really cool. I already tried the 1 point perspective from the looking up angle from one of your previous videos. That one turned out great. I love how you give each building its own personality :)

Thank you . After thinking I could not draw for the last 60 years . You sir have gave me the inspiration to try anew. I attended Drafting classes in High School some 54 years ago and failed miserably just passing by the skin of my teeth .
