Perspective drawings are simple techniques used to depict perspective or spatial depth. It also allows you to accurately draw a 3-D picture on a two-dimensional plane. 

There are basically three types of perspective drawings. They are:

  • One-point perspective: Lines extending from foreground to background and converging at one point. This point is called ‘Vanishing Point’. The vanishing point will be on the eye level of the scene.
  • Two-point perspective: It is used for composition that looks at an object from an angle. This is the closest to what the human eye sees. Hence, it is the most used perspective drawing in manga background and illustration.
  • Three-point perspective: This perspective drawings are mostly used to represent a composition that is looking up at a larger object or from down at a high place. In a three-point perspective, there is a third vanishing point to which height stretches. The composition that is looking up has a vanishing point above the object.

These are the various types of perspective drawings. One can try using each of these to enhance creativity.

Perspective drawing

Perspective drawings make objects look smaller as they move into the distance. It gives depth and dimensions to images.

Some tips for drawing perspective are the following:

  • Place the horizon line: It would be better to place the horizon line either very low or very high in drawing. When the horizon line is above character it gives users an impression of them being in a higher position. When the horizon line is below character it gives users an impression of them being in a lower position.
  • Utilize a one-point perspective: Try to avoid putting vanishing points right in the middle of the space of the drawing. It creates too much symmetry to draw and is a bit unnatural.
  • Create a two-point perspective: Place either one or both vanishing points outside the edge of the drawing. It gives a natural look to drawing. Also, try to up your skill using analog tools.

Incorporating these methods of perspective drawings will help you to improve your drawings.
