  1. Perspective Drawings By Dan Lunney Design 11 Sackville High School

  2. Perspective Drawings – Definitions • Horizontal line • Vertical line • Converging line (Orthagonals) • Vanishing point • Horizon

  3. Horizontal Line • Lines that run across the page always parallel to the bottom of the page

  4. Vertical Line • Lines that run from top to bottom of the page always parallel to the side of the page

  5. Converging Line / Orthagonal • Lines that converge at the vanishing point. • These are any lines that are moving away from the viewer at an angle parallel to the direction that the viewer is looking. • In the case of a highway these lines would be the edges of the highway as they move away from you forward into the distance.

  6. Vanishing Point • The point to which all lines which are parallel to the viewer recede. • Think of the last time you were looking down a long stretch of straight highway. The edges of that highway appear to move at an angle upward until they meet the horizon. • In one point perspective all verticals and horizontals stay the same and only lines that are moving away from or toward the viewer seem to recede on the horizon at the vanishing point.

  7. Horizon • Horizon - is always at eye level. Picture yourself at the seashore and looking out at the ocean you notice that the water meets the sky at your eye level. This never changes. • You may be in an airplane 1000 feet up or you may be lying down on the beach and the ocean level drops with you. • Think of it as an invisible plane that cuts through everything, that always exists at eye level.

  8. Perspective Drawings • One-point • Two-point • Internal • External

  9. One-Point • All converging lines vanish to one point • Horizontal and vertical lines do not change

  10. Two-Point • All converging lines vanish to 2 points on the horizon • Always start with drawing a vertical edge • There are no horizontal lines in 2-point perspective

  11. Internal – One Point

  12. Internal – Two Point

  13. External – One Point

  14. External – Two Point
