Basic Perspective Drawing: A Visual Approach -

In , lines lead to two separate points on the far left and right. 3. Orthogonal Lines (The "Receding" Lines)

Parallel lines (like railroad tracks) seem to touch as they hit the vanishing point. Basic Perspective Drawing: A Visual Approach

These are the diagonal lines you draw from the corners of your objects back to the vanishing point. They create the illusion of depth. If you’re drawing a cube, these lines form the "sides" that make it look solid rather than flat. 4. Convergence and Scaling In , lines lead to two separate points

You are looking down (like from a bird's eye view). Low Horizon: You are looking up (like from the ground). Middle Horizon: You are looking straight ahead. 2. The Vanishing Point Basic Perspective Drawing: A Visual Approach
