PERSPECTIVE TERMS AND PRINCIPLES

​

  • Perspective is a method used to depict three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface in a realistic way.

  • Objects closer to the viewer are depicted larger than objects further away in space.

  • Orthogonal lines always converge on the vanishing point located on the horizon line.

  • Orthogonal lines are geometric lines used to organize objects and are usually erased by the final drawing.

​

       Horizon Line - the line where the land and sky meet

       Vanishing Point - the point on the horizon line where all diagonal lines meet

       Orthogonal Lines - diagonal lines which converge on the vanishing point
