Perspective representation

2

Perspective is a technique for representing three-dimensional space on a flat surface.

Linear perspective is based on the way the human eye sees the world:• objects which are closer appear larger• more distant objects appear smaller.

Linear perspective allows you to see depth on a flat surface.

To create the illusion of space, in perspective drawing, we establish a vanishing point on the horizon line.

Objects are drawn using orthogonal lines which lead to the vanishing point.

One Point PerspectiveIn one-point perspective, the forms are seen face on and are drawn to a single vanishing point.

5

Two Point PerspectiveIn two-point perspective, the objects are seen at an angle, and are drawn to two vanishing points.
