Study Notes
Linear Perspective in Drawing
- The main purpose of using linear perspective in drawing is to create a realistic and convincing depiction of depth and distance on a flat surface.
Types of Linear Perspective
- In a two-point perspective, lines converge to two vanishing points.
- In a one-point perspective, all lines converge to a single vanishing point.
Key Terms
- The term for the point on the horizon line where parallel lines appear to converge is the vanishing point.
