What is It
PERSPECTIVE DRAWING
A perspective is the most realistic three-dimensional representation of objects
or spaces. Items are drawn in a way that is similar to how the human eye perceives
them. Objects within a space appear smaller as they get further away. Horizontal
lines look non-parallel. They appear to converge at an imaginary point in the
distance. Perspective in drawing is an approximate representation on a flat surface
of an image as it is perceived by the eye.
Of the types of perspective drawings, the most common categorizations of
artificial perspective are one, two and three-point perspectives. The names of these
categories refer to the number of vanishing points in the perspective drawing.
All types involve establishing a horizon line. This imaginary horizontal line represents
where the earth meets the sky. Vanishing points are added to this horizon line.
A vanishing point is the point to which the horizontal edges of all objects will meet.
All vertical edges of objects remain vertical. A one-point perspective is created when
only one vanishing point is positioned on the horizon line. A two-point perspective
uses two vanishing points positioned on the horizon line. Vanishing points placed too
close together produce a distorted view. The horizon line and vanishing points are
only used for blocking in objects in a room or the elements of an exterior view of a
building. They do not appear on the finished drawing. The view of an object changes
when positioned above, on or below a horizon line. Above tends to show the
underside. On the horizon line presents an eye-level view. Below shows the top. It is
similar to the way the human eye sees objects based on where a person is
positioned in relationship to them. It is important to consider this when planning an
image of a room or building. For example, it is realistic to draw a building on
the horizon line with the top of it above the horizon line. It gives the impression of
looking up at the building from street level.

Technical Terms of Perspective Drawing
Station Point. It is the point from where the observer looks object.
Picture Plane. It is the plane in which picture of the object forms.
Horizontal Plane. This plane is parallel to the Earth and in line with the eye of
the observer.
Ground Line. This is the line of intersection of the ground plane and the picture
plane.
Horizon. The line at which the earth's surface and the sky appear to meet.
Center of Vision. This is the point on the picture plane which is the point of
intersection of the horizontal line emerging from Station point.
Piercing Point. This is the point on the picture plane which is formed by the
intersection of the picture plane and the visual rays.
Vanishing Point. This is the point at infinity where the length, breadth, and
height of an object vanish.
Worm’s eye view. If the object is placed above the horizon, then its lower view
will be seen.
Man’s eye view. If the object is placed on the horizon, then the object is viewed
in man’s eye level.
Bird’s eye view. If the object is placed below the horizon, then its upper view
will be seen.
Steps in Constructing Parallel perspective (one-point perspective)
1. Draw three horizontal lines representing picture plane, horizon, and ground
line.
2. Draw the plan (top view) on the picture plane and front elevation (front view)
on the ground line.
3. Locate station point on the ground line.
4. Project lines of vision (visual rays) from the corners of the plan to the station
point.
5. Establish the vanishing point on the horizon by projecting vertical lines upward
from the station point.
6. Project the height of the front elevation and the width of the plan.
7. Draw projectors to the vanishing point and from the piercing points project
vertical lines downward.
7
8. Draw the details of the object then darken the object lines.
Example of orthographic views to be drawn in one point perspective.
1. Draw three horizontal lines representing Picture plane (PP), Horizon (H), and
Ground line (GL) (refer from the measurements below for appropriate proportion
of drawings in an oslo or bond paper).
8
2. Draw the plan (top view) on the picture plane and front elevation (front view) on
the ground line. Refer from the drawing below.
9
4. Project lines of vision (visual rays) from the corners of the plan to the station point.
The intersections of the lines of vision and the picture plane are called piercing
points.
5. Establish the vanishing point on the horizon by projecting vertical lines upward
from the station point.
10
6. Project the height of the front elevation and the width of the plan.
7. Draw projectors to the vanishing point and from the piercing points project
vertical lines downward.
11
8. Draw the details of the object then darken the object lines.
12
Steps in Constructing Angular Perspective (two-point perspective)
1. Draw three horizontal lines representing picture plane, horizon, and ground
line.
2. In the picture plane draw the plan using 30ºx60º triangle and the front
elevation on the ground line.
3. Draw vertical line from the plan and project the height of the front elevation.
4. Locate the station point. The size of perspective drawing depends on the
distance of the station point from the plan.
5. From the station point, draw two lines, one at 30 degrees and the other at 60
degrees, then mark their meeting points with the picture plane and from that
marks draw vertical line down to the horizon. Their meeting points with the
horizon will serve as the left and right vanishing points.
6. Project corners of the plan to form visual rays that converge at the station
point. Then, mark the meeting points of the visual rays and the picture plane.
These are called piercing points. Project vertical lines from the piercing points
which will serve as the measuring lines.
7. From the corners of the height of the object, project lines to the left and right
vanishing points to form its construction lines.
8. Draw the details of the object then darken the object lines.
13
Procedure in Constructing Two Point Perspective
1. Draw three horizontal lines representing Picture plane (PP), Horizon (H), and
Ground line (GL) (refer from the measurements below for appropriate proportion
of drawings in an oslo or bond paper).
14
2. In the picture plane draw the plan using 30ºx60º triangle (approximately 22 cm
away from the left edge of the oslo paper) and draw the front elevation on the
ground line.
3. Draw vertical line from the plan and project the height of the front elevation.
4. Locate the station point. The size of perspective drawing depends on the
distance of the station point from the plan.
15
5. From the station point, draw two lines, one at 30 degrees and the other at 60
degrees, then mark their meeting points with the picture plane and from that
marks draw vertical line down to the horizon. Their meeting points with the
horizon will serve as the left vanishing point (LVP) and right vanishing points
(RVP).
16
6. Project corners of the plan to form visual rays that converge at the station point.
Then, mark the meeting points of the visual rays and the picture plane. These
are called piercing points.
7. Project vertical lines from the piercing points which will serve as the measuring
lines.
8. From the corners of the height of the object, project lines to the left and right
17
vanishing points to form its construction lines. Project more construction lines to
form the object.
9. Draw the details of the object then darken the object lines.
