In , all lines that go "back" into space lead to a single point.
Objects of the same size must be drawn smaller as they move closer to the vanishing point to maintain the illusion of distance. Quick Exercise: The Floating Box Draw a horizontal line across your page (Horizon). Put a dot in the middle (Vanishing Point). Draw a simple square anywhere above or below that line.
Perspective drawing is essentially the art of representing 3D space on a 2D surface. Think of it as a "visual trick" that mimics how our eyes actually see the world—where things look smaller as they get further away. 1. The Horizon Line (Eye Level)
In , lines lead to two separate points on the far left and right. 3. Orthogonal Lines (The "Receding" Lines)
This is the most important line in your drawing. It represents your eye level.
Use a ruler to connect the corners of that square to the dot.
