Linear perspective drawings are constructed from plans, sections and elevations to accurately represent an object in 3D space. There are three key components: the station point where the viewer stands, the picture plane which is the surface where the image is projected, and the horizon line which is at eye level and where the sky meets the land. One point perspective requires the building facade be parallel to the viewer's face and picture plane, while two point perspective requires looking at a corner.

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.
