Drawing a Brick Wall in Perspective

Friday June 29, 2007
Probably the best way to draw a building in perspective is to trust your eyes and draw what you see. But when you don't have a handy brick wall in front of you, or you are creating an image from imagination, constructing a wall in linear perspective is an excellent way to make sure your bricks are diminishing at the right rate, so that you don't end up with a bizarre optical illusion. So here's a tutorial on drawing a brick wall in perspective. Once you've drawn your wall, you'll want to add some brick and stone textures to finish it off.

Hello,

How do you divide a circle into horizontal and vertical grid line? And do you know if it can be done with visio or corel draw?

Thanks,
