PERSPECTIVE DRAWING

 

1 Point Perspective

All lines go back to a vanishing point (VP).

The vanishing point (VP) can be placed anywhere and it represents your eye level, so if the point is high as in the above animation, you look down on the object. If the VP is low, you will look up underneath the object.

2 Point Perspective

The animation above shows 3 blocks being drawn in 2 point perspective. The top block is seen from beneath as the vanishing point (VP) is below it. The middle block is on the VP which means you cannot see the top or bottom. We are looking down on the bottom block as the VP is set high for this object.
