1 point perspective

A way to transfer an image of the real, 3D world, to a 2D sheet of paper by using a vanishing point. 

All receding lines go to the vanishing point.

This is central perspective

• the vanishing point is the height of the eyes of the person who draws.
• all vertical lines stay vertical
• all horizontal lines stay horizontal
• only the receding lines, go into 'space' (or depth) and end in the vanishing point

The horizon is always your eye height!!

Normal

Birds eye view

Worms eye view

Horizon and vanishing point can be at different heights, depending on how high the person who draws/looks stands.
