What is perspective? 什么是透视？

Perspective drawing is a 3D representation of an object, room, building or design

on a 2D surface.
Type of 3D Drawings

1. Axonometric Projection
(45 Degree Angle)

2. Isometric Projection
( 30 / 60 Degree Angle)

3. Perspective
a. 1-Point Perspective

b. 2-Point Perspective
Axonometric Projection (45o)

An Axonometric is a projection of a plan at an

oblique angle. It shows a surface of an object (two
dimensions) in true shape and scale with the third
dimension drawn as lines at a fixed angle to the
true plan (actual surface).

The advantages of an axonometric is that an

existing orthographic floor plan can used as the
starting point without redrawing. The plan is
simply tilted at any desired angle with the third
dimension created by projecting vertical lines.
Axonometric Projection (45o)

Characteristics

Axonometric is a true plane drawn to a particular scale at 45 degree

angle and then projected vertically to show elevations at once, and
the top of the object.

This is a good way to project interior to scale showing the inside of a

room, as if the roof has been taken off.

Isometric Projection (30o)

An Isometric drawing is a three-dimensional view of an

object. A horizontal line is draw with a single vertical line at
the centre. The two diagonal lines are drawn (mirror
image) at the same angle.

Isometric projections can be used to draw buildings

interior rooms (by omitting the top and two front sides),
details, furniture and any other objects.
Isometric Projection (30o)

Characteristics

Any angle may be used to draw an

isometric, the most common one is 30
degrees being a standard triangle angle
which gives a fairly realistic view of an
object.

Isometric with smaller angles show more

of the sides and less of the top, while
larger angles show more of the top of an
object.

Quick and easy to draw, isometric can be

measured at any convenient scale. Due
to horizontal plane being parallelogram,
plans and other planes must be redrawn
at the selected angle/

Perspective : One-Point Perspective

Perspective drawing is the art of representing a

three-dimensional view on a single plane surface.
When the point of view is perpendicular to one of the
planes of the object, a one-point perspective is
created. All vertical lines are drawn vertically, and all
lines perpendicular to the line of sight are drawn
horizontally. Lines parallel to the lines of sight
converge at the one vanishing point used to create
the drawing.

Of all the methods used to draw objects, one-point

perspective gives the most accurate two dimensional
representation of the three-dimensional world. This is
because they use the principle of converging on the
same imaginary spot in the distance.

Characteristics:
It is important to know how to arrive at the positions
of the walls, windows, door etc. Before producing a
perspective from a given plan and elevations.

Perspective : Two-Point Perspective

Perspective drawing is the art of representing a

three-dimensional view on a single plan surface. A
two-point perspective is created when the point of
view is at normal eye level and is not perpendicular to
any plane of the object. Of all the methods used to
draw objects, perspectives give the most accurate
two-dimensional representation of the
three-dimensional world. This is because they use
the principle of convergence, which is the apparent
diminishing size objects as they get farther from the
eye. Convergence also explains how parallel lines
seem to look non-parallel and point to, or converge
on, the same imaginary spot in distance.

Characteristics:
It is important to know how to arrive at the positions
of the walls, windows, door etc. Before producing a
perspective from a given plan and elevations.
