Perspective drawing is a representation of images on a flat surface as seen by the eye, utilizing various techniques such as one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective. The document outlines basic steps for creating a perspective drawing, starting from establishing a vanishing point to detailing elements like poles, buildings, and pathways. It concludes with instructions for inking the drawing to enhance texture and finish.

3. What is Perspective?
Perspective in the graphic arts
is an approximate representation,
on a flat surface (such as paper),
of an image as it is seen by the
eye.

4. There are many forms used
under perspective drawing such as:
• One perspective
• Two-point perspective
• Three-point perspective
• Bird’s eye view
• Worm’s eye view and others

Drawing Steps

7. 1. Start by creating a vanishing
point by drawing an “X” at the center
of the paper. Then from the center
through the edge of your paper draw
lines, but make sure also that the
lines you have drawn can be used
on your drawing.

8. 2. Then for the next step draw
a series of poles on the right side.
When you almost reached the
center or the vanishing point you
can substitute the poles to a
series of lines.

9. 3. For the left side draw a
series poles and add in some
perpendicular benches.
Remember to draw lines again
when you almost reach the
center or the vanishing point.

10. 4. Then for the next step
draw the roof of the pathway
by illustrating its checkered
pattern.

12. 5. Next is to sketch houses
on the left side and a beach
scene on the right side of the
drawing.

13. 6. Finally end the drawing by
sketching lines that will highlight
or outline the path and roof.

14. 7. Ink over your drawing and
you’re done. To ink over your
drawing use a black pen or marker
with different kinds of points so that
there will be some variation of
texture on your drawing.
