Linear Perspective – 1, 2, and 3 point perspective

For your first project you will create a drawing showing space (depth). You will need to incorporate both linear perspective and non-linear ways to show space in your drawing. Some options you may consider, but are not limited to:

-1 point perspective – Birds eye view of a city

-1 point perspective – Town

-1 point perspective – Interior of a room

-2 point perspective – City

-2 point perspective – Building/structure

-3 point perspective – Worm’s eye view of a city

-3 point perspective – Bird’s eye view of a city

Remember: Always draw lightly because several parts of each line may be erased.

Steps:

  1. View demonstrations and practice in 1, 2 and 3 point perspective.
  2. Look at handouts and practice developing your perspective knowledge.
  3. Choose what you want to draw.
  4. Sketch (rough draft) your drawing (this is only to plan your project...your most detailed work and most time should be spent on your final paper)
  5. Draw on final paper. Remember to draw lightly!!!!!
  6. Either using your pencil pressing hard, or using a fine tip sharpie, outline your drawing to provide contrast
  7. Leave black and white or use watercolor paints or colored pencils to add color
