One Point Perspective

• The first step to perspective drawing

• it represents

  • the eye level of the viewer

  • the separation between ground and sky

​

horizon line

• Sits on the horizon line

• the point in the distance where objects appear to "vanish"

​

Vanishing Point

• Objects get smaller toward that point

• the depth lines ( orthoganals) point to this point

​

Vanishing Point

• The invisible lines that point to the vanishing point

​

orthogonal lines

• They are always the diagonal lines that point backward
