One Point Perspective

One point perspective is a 3D drawing using one vanishing point on the horizon.Objects going into the distance arrive at the same point. The parts that are NOT going into

the distance are parallel to the picture plane, these are generally drawn using the set square and sliding ruler

Distances are either measured or worked out using the rule of parallel lines on diagonals as with two point perspective.

At all times the drawing equipment is there to assist in drawing shapes and objects without too much measuring or calculating.

Use A3 Paper1cm border, 1cm name bar, 2cm indent.
