Camila Kang - Perspective Drawing

Now it's time to explore the wonders of perspective drawing. There are multiple types of perspective drawing, but it all comes down to a few things: a vanishing point, horizon line and straight lines. Perspective looks complex, but it is actually very simplist.
The first one I drew is one-point perspective. "One-point perspective is the simplest form of perspective and often the only one you need to know" (Barber 78). The steps to this is "you need to establish a horizon line, or eye level" (Barber 78). In the book he established a "viewing point" which is "perpendicular to the horizon line" (Barber 78). What I have done or have been taught to do is use a vanishing point, a point where all the line will meet. Here I used one-point perspective to make 3D words and a simple room. Two point perspective is used when "you're dealing with much bigger spaces and with large objects" (Barber 80). Here I used two vanishing points to create a scenic view of a imaginary town. Three point perspective I didn't have time to play around with, so I drew an example. It's mainly used to "draw very tall buildings" or have a bird's eye view of objects (Barber 82).

Examples of point perspective. The number of perspective is represented by how many sides you see. One point you can see only one side as three point you can see three sides.

Drawing of a two point perspective city. See how are the lines are connecting straight back to the vanishing point? That's how perspective drawing mainly works.
