ABSTRACT
Understanding perspective basics helps to clarify our views when it comes to working on perspective drawing. They are composed with elements of perspective, principles of perspective, and basic perspective types. Elements of perspective starts with a fixed viewing position, framed by a picture plane, setting up a horizon line with vanishing point(s) and perspective lines. Principles of perspective discusses the relationship of the five basic perspective elements. They state that as a viewer stays at a chosen spot to look through a picture pane (picture frame), seeing objects forming toward a horizon line, with vanishing point(s) and perspective lines. For a given object, as it moves closer, it appears to grow larger in size and become more defined; as it moves away, it appears to shrink in size and appears blurry. There are two major basic perspective types: one vanishing point perspective and two vanishing points perspective. Other perspective types include three vanishing points perspective and multi-vanishing points perspective.
