Tutorial: CWD 3 — Description
So far, we've done things on a single basis- that is, a particular thing in a particular area.

But in a building, be it temple, office, manison in an adventure story (Lord Fenlock!) or even a house or shed, you may want to draw in a number of windows, of the same size and shape. How would you do that?

Here, this will show you how, with the centered windows from the previous pages.

First, draw in an angled wall- just one vanishing point is needed here, since only one wall will be used. It could be something from One Vanishing Point Street.

Draw in that "X" from the corners, so very important to it all, and then, with the line from the Vanishing Point, and the vertical line- all just like before- divide the wall into four parts.

As in the first page, add the lines needed for four "X's." You now have a wall divided into four equal parts, each with its very own "X."

In this case, I started from the lower left part of the wall, but you do not have to start from there- it's just how I do it. But for the next set of instructions, please keep in mind how I started.

From the Vanishing Point, draw a line, below the center of the "X" in the lower left part of the wall.

As before, extend upward the vertical lines, but this time make sure they go through both the bottom and top parts of the "X" ABOVE the one you are working with!

Through those six points, draw the three lines from the Vanishing Point, as shown. You now have two windows, one above the other.

Notice also how they are the same size? It works automatically.

Now, on to the right side of the wall...
