How to Draw Cubes in Two-point Perspective
Video by Vladimir London, the Life Drawing Academy tutor

In this video, you will see how to draw cubes in a two-point perspective. We begin with the cube's footprint. Its sides are pointing into two vanishing points. A perfect ellipse is inscribed inside those lines. It touches all four edges in the middle of each side. This means that it is a perfect square. The height of this cube is equal to its width, which is the width of the inscribed circle. So, we can now draw vanishing lines of the top plane. The vertical edges are depicted strictly vertical. There are also other ways of drawing a cube, which I will demonstrate in separate videos.
