Perspective
What is Perspective?
Basically the way our eyes see something
is Perspective. On a flat surface (Such as
Paper or Sketch book), drawing exactly as
we see everything is called Perspective
Drawing. Every Perspective Drawing has
at-least one or moreVanishing Point.
Types of Perspective
There are many types of perspective but the
most used and maximum number of perspective
humans can see is upto Three-Point Perspective.
So basically there are three types of perspective
1. One-Point Perspective
2. Two-Point Perspective
3. Three-Point Perspective
One-Point Perspective
What is One-Point Perspective?
A drawing or artwork that has only one
vanishing point at the horizon line is an one-
point perspective drawing.

What is Two-Point Perspective?
A two-point perspective is most widely-
used perspective drawings, as it gives a very
realistic feel to the sketch. Two-Point
Perspective has two vanishing points on the
horizon line.

bird's-eye view
A bird's-eye view is an elevated view of
an object from above, with a perspective
as though the observer were a bird,
often used in the making of blueprints,
floor plans and maps. It can be an aerial
photograph, but also a drawing.
Example of bird's-eye view
worm's-eye view 
A worm's-eye view is a view of an object
from below, as though the observer were
a worm; the opposite of a bird's-eye
view. A worm's eye view is used
commonly for third perspective, with one
vanishing point on top, one on the left,
and one on the right.
Example of worm's-eye view 
Man’s eye view
A view of the landscape as seen by a
person, especially from a specified
position or in level with the observer’s
eye.
