A Visual Approach | Basic Perspective Drawing:

Parallel lines (like railroad tracks) seem to touch as they hit the vanishing point.

In , lines lead to two separate points on the far left and right. 3. Orthogonal Lines (The "Receding" Lines) Basic Perspective Drawing: A Visual Approach

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 Parallel lines (like railroad tracks) seem to touch

This is the most important line in your drawing. It represents your eye level. Orthogonal Lines (The "Receding" Lines) You are looking

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.
