The present author has bealt with the development of drawing methods for three-dimensional design, interpreting conventional projective perspective drawing. As a part of this research, a new method for two-point perspective as well as byproducts were reported^<1,2>. Due to its complexity of three-point perspective drawing, its development was tentatively left out by this report. It was, however, found that all cube images in three-point perspective drawing can be reduced to nine configurations of three principle edges according to their spatial locations, and thus the configurations are consistently similar to those in two-point perspective drawing. Since the configurations were proved to function as a starting point of drawing, a drawing method can then be proposed. In comparison with conventional drawing methods, which rigidly defines a drawing situation at the very initiai stage of drawing, this method is simple to understand, perceive and use. Three-point perspective drawing now becomes a userfriendly method.
