What is Perspective Drawing?

Perspective drawing is a technique used to show objects in 3D as they appear to the human eye. It makes

drawings look realistic and gives a sense of depth.

---

Why Use Perspective Drawing?

- Helps designers and engineers visualise products realistically.

- Makes drawings look more lifelike than flat or orthographic views.

- Common in design sketches, architecture, and games.

---

Types of Perspective Drawing

| Type | Description | Common Use |

|----------------------|-------------|-------------|

| One-point perspective | One vanishing point on the horizon line. Used when objects face the viewer. |
Form 2 Design and Technology - Perspective Drawing Notes

Drawing roads, rooms, hallways |

| Two-point perspective | Two vanishing points. Used when viewing an object from a corner. | Drawing boxes,

buildings |

| (Optional) Three-point perspective | Three vanishing points. Used for tall buildings or dramatic views. |

Advanced architecture sketches |

---

Key Terms

- Vanishing Point: Where parallel lines appear to meet in the distance.

- Horizon Line: The viewer's eye level.

- Orthogonal Lines: Lines that lead to the vanishing point.

---

Steps for Drawing in One-Point Perspective

1. Draw the horizon line.

2. Mark the vanishing point.

3. Draw the front shape (e.g., square or rectangle).

4. Connect the shapes corners to the vanishing point.

5. Add vertical/horizontal lines to complete the 3D shape.

6. Erase guidelines and darken final lines.

Practice Activity

Task: Draw a Cube in One-Point Perspective

- Draw a square in the middle of your page.

- Add a horizon line and vanishing point.

- Connect each corner of the square to the vanishing point.

- Add the back edges to complete the cube.

- Shade one side to show depth.

Use a ruler and draw lightly for construction lines.

---

Challenge Task (Optional)

Draw a simple room interior using one-point perspective:

- Floor, ceiling, back wall.

- Add a window, table, or door.

---

Remember:

- Use light lines when sketching.

- Vanishing points are the key to depth.

- Keep practicing to improve accuracy and confidence.
