One-Point Perspective

One-Point Perspective

Key Concepts

Horizon Line

The horizon line is an imaginary horizontal line where the sky meets the ground. In one-point perspective, this line represents the viewer's eye level. It helps to establish the depth and distance in your drawing. Imagine standing on a beach and looking out to sea; the line where the sky and sea meet is your horizon line.

Vanishing Point

The vanishing point is a single point on the horizon line where all parallel lines seem to converge. In one-point perspective, all lines that are not horizontal or vertical will meet at this point. Think of it like looking down a long, straight road; the edges of the road appear to meet at a single point far away.

Orthogonal Lines

Orthogonal lines are the lines in your drawing that are not horizontal or vertical and lead to the vanishing point. These lines help to create the illusion of depth and distance. For example, if you are drawing a street, the sides of the buildings will be orthogonal lines that lead to the vanishing point.

Steps to Create One-Point Perspective

  1. Draw the horizon line at the top or bottom of your paper, depending on where you want the viewer's eye level to be.
  2. Mark the vanishing point on the horizon line. This point can be anywhere along the line, depending on the angle you want to depict.
  3. Draw orthogonal lines from the vanishing point to the edges of your drawing. These lines will help you place objects in the correct perspective.
  4. Add objects along the orthogonal lines, making sure their edges align with the lines that lead to the vanishing point.

Example

Imagine drawing a simple city street. Start by drawing the horizon line and placing the vanishing point. Then, draw the sides of the buildings as orthogonal lines that lead to the vanishing point. Add windows, doors, and other details, ensuring that all parallel lines converge at the vanishing point. This creates a realistic depiction of the street, with buildings appearing to recede into the distance.
