Draw a '3D' pyramid in perspective
By Helen South, About.com Guide
Begin by drawing your horizon line, and placing the front corner of your pyramid. (Remember, in two-point perspective, the object is turned at an angle, so we begin with a front corner rather than a parallel side). For best results, make your vanishing points as wide apart as possible. Draw the vanishing lines from the front corner to the vanishing points.
