Important information about drawing with the vanishing point

If you look at a long straight street, you will notice that the further away the houses are, the smaller they look. It seems that the further away it is and the road tapers to a point in the distance, everything shortens. This is the vanishing point and the drawing with the vanishing point perspective is based on this observation.

  • You can choose the vanishing point in the center of the motif. This is then the vanishing point perspective, from which you see a street that you are standing on. So you see the object from the front.
  • Another option is to choose a vanishing point above or below the subject, so draw one in either a bird's eye view or a frog's eye view. You can also choose a vanishing point at an angle above or below the motif to enable a view from different angles.
  • The hallmark of the vanishing point perspective is the shortened perspective of all sides, which turns out differently depending on how you choose the vanishing point. With a central vanishing point, all sides become the same Dimensions shortened.
  • In contrast to the parallel perspective, the surfaces are not retained in size in the vanishing point perspective. While the front side of a cube is the same size as the back in the parallel perspective, it is smaller in the vanishing point perspective.

How to Draw in Vanishing Point Perspective

  1. Draw a base, for example a square, a rectangle or a triangle.
  2. Select the vanishing point according to the perspective you want: in the middle of the surface, if you want to draw the normal perspective, above the surface for the bird's eye view or below in the frog's eye view.
  3. Connect each corner of the shape drawn first to the vanishing point.
  4. Now draw parallels to the edges of the original shape. The edges that go deeper always lie on the connecting lines between the corner points and the vanishing point.
