Three
Point Perspective
|
Three point perspective is a development of two point perspective. Like two point it has two vanishing points somewhere on the horizon. But three point perspective also has a vanishing point somewhere above or below the horizon which the vertical vanish to. |

|
The nearer the vanishing point is to the object, the bigger the object looks. Look at these buildings. All the vanishing points are too close. This has caused an excessive amount of vertical perspective. Learning how to apply vertical perspective is the key to making your drawings realistic. |
 |
In general most designers create drawings with a vanishing point far below the horizon so that the depth added to the verticals is only slight. In many cases the vanishing point isn't even on the paper. Learning how to apply vertical perspective will make your drawings more and more realistic. |
