I should not have said projection; I should have said "perspective". Normally a 2 point perspective is a realistic way show objects in 3D. In this case the object is flat.

Yes, still not be able to do it.

There are numerous tutorials about drawing in perspective on the Internet. Have you looked at any? The topic is also covered in almost every book about mechanical drawing/drafting.

 

Brief explanation of perspective can be found here.

Yes, but it doesn't tell you how to create a polygon in perspective.

No it doesn't. It was meant as an example of the basic principles for drawing a 2 point perspective.

 

Quick example:

 

Perspective1.jpg

 

It's all a matter of setting up your Vanishing Point and Measuring Points. Adjust one or both to achieve the desired affect. Given some thought about what happens to the shape of your object as you adjust these two parameters.

 

A change of perspective:

Now it's your turn. Experimentation can be fun.

 

OK, one last try then I'm done. Is this closer to what you had in mind?

See how the polygon has flattened out?

Thank you for your effort.

 

However, I still do not understand.

 

Would you please send me an understandable step by step with its construction line?

That's what I would call the lazy drafter's approach. No offense, I thought the same thing. LoL

 

I really think the OP wants to draw in perspective.

I'm all for lazy 8)

And it was easier than trying to explain about shooting rays and trimming back to a viewing plane.

Reminds me of Tech school drafting 45 years ago I am that old, no such things as a computer.

Two subjects scored 100 & 99 guess that is why I ended up where I am.

 

 

....Geelong?

I actually never being taught a projection like this in my college. The only projection being taught are isometric and dimetric. I am a mechanical engineering myself. I wonder where was this lesson is taught? In school or college? Would somebody teach me this projection? I still not be able to construct a polygon into this kind of projection. Would somebody tell me in detail to construct a polygon to this projection? I would like to be a draughtsman artist which able to create such as below illustration:

The car you posted was not created by a drafting program, but a hand-drawn illustrator program (my best guess anyways). AutoCAD would be the last program you'd want to use for an illustrated image such as the transparent car body image from above.
