I'm sure you've heard of one point perspective drawing. That's why you're here right? You can think of this as the starting point in a learning process that will have you drawing things that you never thought possible. I'm a visual learner, and being an artist I'm guessing that you are too. If the explanation is a little long winded, just follow the pictures and you should be fine. Let's get to it. Grab a pen or pencil, a piece of paper, a ruler and your eraser. | One Point Perspective Drawing Tutorial I m sure you ve heard of one point perspective drawing.

I m a visual learner and being an artist - I m guessing that you are too. If the explanation is a little long winded just follow the pictures and you should be fine. Let s get to it.

What in the heck is a horizon line Think of it as the place off in the distance where the sky meets together with the earth that old familiar line where blue meets brown and green. Just draw a horizontal line across the page. Easy enough. Step 2 Choose a vanishing point. Pick a point on the horizon line. For my example I m going to pick a point near the middle of the horizon line. You can pick a point anywhere on this line it doesn t much matter. If you pick a point away from the middle the results you get will look different than the drawing I am doing but the principles of one point perspective will be the same. We ve now completed the two basic parts to this tutorial. Let s use our horizon line and vanishing point to make something. For this tutorial I m going to make a simple house shape. You can make whatever you want. Step 3 Draw in perspective lines. I m going to start by making one line with my ruler from the vanishing point outward. This line will be the bottom of my building. Next make the top line. This will form the base of one wall of the house. Step 4 Connect the lines. Now I m going to draw 2 vertical lines that connect the bottom and top lines. Once this is done I ll have finished one wall of my structure. How is your drawing looking Notice how the lines you just drew are not the same length The shorter line fools your eye into thinking that the object .
