2. Perspective drawing is a technique that gives three-dimensionality to flat images.

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.

4. Example of Perspective Drawing:

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.

8. 4 Elements of Perspective Drawing

9. 4 Elements of Perspective Drawing To use linear and atmospheric perspective, you must understand the following terms:

10. 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. 10

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