Lesson Two: Drawing in Perspective

Adding perspective to your drawing makes things even more interesting, and it’s incredibly easy to do. All you have to do is add a Vanishing Point to your Horizon Line (the line where the sky ends and the ground begins, or where the walls end and the floor begins, you get the idea)

There are really only three types of perspective:

• One Point Perspective 
• Two Point Perspective 
• Three Point Perspective

To get started, go ahead and draw a few shapes (I’ll use squares for this example)

Now go ahead and draw in the Vanishing Point where all lines eventually meet. This video clip shows how this can be done.

You should end up with something like this

In two and three point perspective, the same principle applies expect 

there's more than one vanishing point. 

Here is an example of two points, remember, 

in perspective the "parallel lines" rule does not apply. 

And Here is an example of three point perspective,

go ahead and practice doing several sketches with some perspective, you can use a ruler to make sure

all your lines meet exactly at each vanishing point.
