One-Point Perspective

The document discusses perspective drawing and one-point perspective. It explains that perspective drawing represents how objects appear smaller and closer together the further away they are, making it the most realistic pictorial drawing. It then describes the key elements of one-point perspective drawing, which are the horizon line, single vanishing point, and use of receding lines that converge at the vanishing point. The document provides step-by-step instructions for constructing a one-point perspective drawing of a room using these elements.

PERSPECTIVE DRAWING

Perspective is a geometric method of


representing on paper the way that
objects appear in real life i.e. they get
smaller and closer together the
further away they are from the eye of
an observer.
It is the most realistic of all pictorial
drawings.
PERSPECTIVE VS. OTHER PICTORIAL DRAWINGS

 Perspective drawings differ


from other types of
pictorial drawings.
 In Isometric and Oblique
drawings, the lines remain
parallel and never
converge at a single point.

BIRD’S EYE VIEW

3 POINTS OF VIEW
3 POINTS OF VIEW IN PERSPECTIVE

1. Bird’s Eye View


A bird's-eye view is an elevated view of an
object from above, with a perspective as
though the observer were a bird.

2. Man’s Eye View


A view of the landscape as seen by a person,
especially from a specified position.

3. Worms Eye view


A worm's-eye view is a view of an object
from below, as though the observer were
a worm.
(3) BASIC ELEMENTS OF 1. Vanishing Point (VP)
PERSPECTIVE DRAWING • the point at which
receding lines viewed
in perspective appear
to converge.
2. Horizon Line (HL)
An imaginary horizontal line, sometimes
referred to as eye level, which divides
your line of vision when you look
straight ahead. Objects below this line
are below your eye level, and objects
above this line are above your eye level.

Note:
Vanishing point (VP) is
located directly on the
“horizon line”.
3. Receding Lines
refers to perspective lines drawn diagonally
that meet at a so-called vanishing point.

Note:
Receding lines are
sometimes called
‘vanishing lines’,
‘orthogonal lines’, or
‘convergence lines’.
TYPES OF PERSPECTIVE DRAWING
TYPES OF
PERSPECTI
VE
DRAWING

A. One-Point Perspective
This is a variation of oblique projection. There is one vanishing point
(VP1), and the lines of one axis are directed towards it. One face of the
object is parallel to the picture plane.

PERSPECTI
VE
DRAWING

B. Two-Point Perspective
This is a the most useful and realistic form. The vertical lines stays
vertical but lines recede to right and left towards two vanishing points
VP1 and VP2.

DRAWING

C. Three-Point Perspective
Tricky to draw, and more spectacular than directly representative, this
method allows line on all three axes to recede towards vanishing points
VP1, VP2 and VP3.
ONE-POINT
PERSPECTIVE
1. Draw a horizon line. The horizon line is a
horizontal line that will represent eye level in the
scene.

learning to draw in perspective you’ll probably find
it easiest to draw the front side first.

ONE-POINT PERSPECTIVE DRAWING


PRINCIPLES OF ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE

1. All the lines in your drawing are either


horizontal, vertical, or recede to the vanishing
point.
2. The horizon line runs at your eye level.
3. All horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon
line, and all vertical lines are perpendicular to
the horizon line.
4. All diagonal lines to recede to the vanishing
point, these are referred to as receding lines.
5. The closer the objects to us, the more details
we can see. All objects get smaller and smaller
the farther away they are from us.
6. All objects along the receding lines (or the
lines of convergence) become foreshortened,
and their lines will reach the vanishing point if
we prolong them.
