 Linear perspective drawings are constructed from

information that is available in plans, sections and


elevations.  Consequently, linear perspective is a precise
and accurate way to represent an object in three
dimensional space.
 There are several components of these drawings.  First is
the station point.  The Station point is where the viewer
stands in space and more precisely where the viewing eye
is located. 
 The second component is the picture plan, or the invisible
surface upon which the depiction of three dimensional
space is projected.
 The last most important component is the horizon line.  The
horizon line is that distant line where sky meets land.  The
horizon line is always at eye level. 

ONE POINT AND THE BUILDING’S FACADE NEEDS TO BE PARALLEL


TO YOUR FACE AND THE PICTURE PLANE, TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE
AND YOU NEED TO BE LOOKING AT A CORNER. 
Notice the station point
(marked by the number 2)
is positions so that it is
looking at a wall that is
parallel to the position of
the viewer.  We are looking
directly at the wall at the
back of the space.
In this example we are
looking into a collection
of buildings and the
structure in the
background is parallel to
our view.
