PERSPECTIVE DRAWING

Perspective drawing is a technique used to depict spatial depth, or perspective. In other words, it allows you to accurately draw a three dimensional object onto a two dimensional plane.
​
There are typically three types of perspective drawing: one-point perspective, two-point perspective, and three-point perspective.

One Point Perspective Drawing - The Basics

Key Points:
  • Surfaces that face the viewer are drawn using their true shape
  • Surfaces that travel away from the viewer converge towards a single vanishing point
Other things to remember:
  • All vertical construction lines are parallel to one another;
  • All horizontal construction lines are parallel to one another;
  • Given the lack of a second and third vanishing point, this perspective relies on orthogonal construction lines;
  • This style of perspective, although convincing, is not always accurate
