Perspective drawing is a technique that creates the illusion of depth in two-dimensional artworks using methods like linear and atmospheric perspective. Key elements include the vanishing point, horizon, vantage point, and values, which contribute to the spatial representation. The document also outlines different types of perspective drawings and provides examples for learning purposes.

3.  What Is Perspective Drawing?
Perspective drawing is a technique that
gives the illusion of spatial depth, or
perspective, to drawings and paintings.
Perspective drawing, like
foreshortening, gives the illusion of
depth and makes work pop off of the
page by using angled lines to suggest
vertical lines and horizontal lines.

5.  2 Types of Perspective
Drawing
There are two main types of
perspective drawing—linear
perspective and atmospheric
perspective:

6.  Linear perspective:
Linear perspective
relies on mathematics
and straight lines to
create depth.

7.  Atmospheric perspective:
Atmospheric perspective, also
known as aerial perspective,
uses color shifts and shading
to show distance and depth.

 To use linear and
atmospheric
perspective, you
must understand
the following
terms:

1.1. Vanishing point: In perspective
drawing, the vanishing point is where two
lines appear to meet in the distance. In a
drawing of a railroad, it’s where the two
lines of the tracks come together,
representing a point beyond which the
beholder cannot see.

11. 1.2. Horizon: The horizon is where the sky
above meets the land or water below. The
placement of the horizon in a work of art will
affect where the vanishing point is.

12. 1.3. Vantage point: The vantage point is the
point of view from which the scene is
observed. An artwork’s vantage point,
whether it is at eye level or looking upward
or downward, dictates the height of the
horizon.

13. 1.4. Values: Values are the light and dark
hues of a composition that influence the
illusion of depth, particularly in aerial
perspective drawings.
