All about Perspective Drawing
Perspective is a drawing technique that makes flat pictures look three-dimensional. Objects appear smaller the farther away they are, and parallel lines seem to meet at a point on the horizon, called the vanishing point.
In one-point perspective, all the lines lead to a single vanishing point. This is useful for drawing roads, railway tracks and corridors. Practising with a ruler helps you draw straight lines that recede convincingly.
