The perspective drawing is a drawing that is made according to the human eye. Usually the human eye sees objects that are getting farther away, it will look smaller so that the resulting drawing looks more realistic. Taken from Italian Language namely “prospettiva” which means a picture of a view. The drawings are made in such a way as to form objects or images from large to small using one point, two points or three points.
There are 3 points of view that are seen from the position of our eyes are from the object, namely a high, normal and low viewpoint. A high point of view is also often referred to as the viewpoint of a bird’s eye as if we are seeing an object from above.
For a normal point of view, we seem to see an object from an ordinary position, namely from the front. The latter is a low point of view or often referred to as a cat’s point of view as if we are looking at an object from below.
A. 1 Point Perspective Drawing
The perspective of one point is often used to draw objects that are close to the eye. The location of objects that are close makes the eye point of view narrow so that the boundary lines will go to just one point. It is said to be lost because the point that is made is not visible or vague for the benchmark to make a line or the boundary of the object to be made.
Here are the examples:
Seen in the picture above that there are boundary lines centered on one point. With these lines, an image is created that looks like looking from the eye, which is from large to small. But in this picture, the effects from large to small are not very visible because the object drawn is not too wide.
Seen a picture of the city with lots of people in it beside the right and left there are tall buildings. Here the impression is bigger from small to small than the drawing of the living room because the objects are drawn more broadly.
The strokes of the pencil produced are amazing. Pictures of existing railroads and trees appear to be getting smaller in the distance so they seem very real. The boundary line has been removed so that the image looks more attractive.
B. 2 Point Perspective Drawing
The two point perspective lost in architecture is usually used to draw the exterior space of a building. Using 2 points located far from right to left. The 2 point perspectives are most widely used and are the easiest to make because the results tend to be not static and not symmetrical so it is more reasonable to see. Apart from the exterior, this technique can also be used for interiors.
Here is an example of the 2 point perspective drawing:
It can be seen that this technique uses auxiliary lines or boundaries made from 2 points. From the picture above can be distinguished which object is closer and far from our eyes. Although it is very simple, this image still looks cool.
The building objects are indeed the ones most often used in perspectives drawing. From the picture above, you can see a small object from the right and left and then enlarge when going to the center. Even though the help line is gone, this image is still a perspective drawing.
Still in the interior, now we go into the bedroom. In this perspective drawing ideas, the help line is not seen in the picture above.
C. 3 Point Perspective Drawing
The 3 points perspective drawing uses three points to make the boundary line of the object. This technique is most often done to draw buildings that are seen from a high or low eye level.
Here are the examples:
It can be seen from the picture above that the lines formed are from 3 points. 2 points are above, while 1 point is below, so that the help lines form to form a triangle space. The point of view used is the bird’s viewpoint.
Unlike the previous picture, the image above uses a perspective from below or commonly referred to as the point of view of cats, frogs or other small animals. If in the previous image, 2 points are at the top, then in this picture 2 points are at the bottom and 1 point is at the top.
In this 3-point perspective picture, the line has been removed. Seen a large modern city that is very crowded accompanied by tall buildings around it. If you notice, there are helicopters and UFOs that are on top of two buildings on the right.
