Description
So far, the vanishing point has always been in the center.

What if it isn't?

This time, we'll move it up and to the right!

So...

First, draw the large rectangle, as before. This time, it should be the same size and dimensions as before, so trace the one from the previous page. So far, you're doing what you did with the previous image.

This time, though, draw the dot above and to the right of center.

Connect each corner to it, so you get a weird-looking "X."

What you should now do is this: trace the second-largest rectangle from the previous page- the first one going off into the distance- onto this picture. Making sure it is aligned vertically and horizontally, touch the corners to the four lines of the "X." Make sure it isn't tilted.

Or, you can simply measure the bottom line of that smaller rectangle from the previous image, and make sure the ends touch the two bottom lines of the "X," keeping it horizontal. Draw in the rest of the rectangle.

Repeat, each time with the next smaller rectangle.

Just keep in mind that the rectangles going off into the distance are the same sizes as before; they just aren't centered as before. This is very important!

For the ceiling lights- do the same thing as before, except this time, of course, the two lines going from the vanishing point to the two dots are going to be angled differently. Notice that you are still ending them in the same place on top of the big rectangle as before.

So far, so good...

Do what you did before with the doorway and window, keeping in mind that the result will look different, because the vanishing point is off-center- but the procedure is identical to page 4. You can actually end those lines coming from the vanishing point in the same places on the big rectangle; watch what happens.

There you go.

Of course, you can do pretty much the same thing with triangles, or squares, or whatever. Instead of horizontal lines for the ceiling, try two raised lines, meeting on the vanishing point line, for a peaked-roof look. Skylights? Just follow the same rules, and it works.

Good luck, and hope this helps!
