The horizon line is the line that divides the sky from the earth and is always at the
level of the observer's eyes. The point of view is the point at which our gaze is
located, it represents the position of the observer. The distance from the viewpoint
to the horizon line is called visual distance. The vanishing point is where all the
parallel lines coming out of the drawn object converge, the point is located on the
horizon line.
What is perspective view?
It is the way of representing three-dimensional objects on a flat surface but giving the sensation of
depth. Objects are drawn with the shape and arrangement that they have from the observer's point of
view.
Parallel perspective
It is the perspective that uses only a vanishing point that coincides with the main point. Parallel
lines do not coincide at a point.
oblique perspective
It is the one that occupies two vanishing points, which are above the horizon line and with this you
can see two faces of the drawn object.
aerial perspective
It uses three vanishing points , two diagonals and a third that can be above or below the horizon
line. It is used when the horizon line is very high or very low.
What are the aspects of round or circular shapes in perspective?
When circular shapes are drawn in perspectives, the sides tend to flatten, so they acquire an
elliptical shape rather than a circular one; the closer they are to the horizon line, the smaller they
become.
What considerations should be made when drawing basic slanted shapes?
Care must be taken so that they do not look like truncated objects.
What are values in a drawing?
They are the lights and shadows that are applied to the strokes, textures, colors, etc...
What are the values applied for?
They are applied so that the volume can be appreciated more easily, since with the play of lights
and shadows the illusion of space and volumes is created. Furthermore, with the textures the
drawing acquires a higher quality and the color makes the drawing resemble reality.
What are textures?
It is the visual appearance given to the drawing that represents the surface of the object so that it
obtains better expressiveness.
How is the perspective center determined?
Several lines are drawn within a figure, such as a square, from side to side and from vertex to vertex
and where they all intersect, this is where the perspective center is located.
What is the purpose of locating the perspective center?
To be able to find the true length of the strokes within a geometric figure, because being in
perspective it is more difficult to know what their true length is.
What are the vanishing points of diagonals?
They are additional vanishing points that are used to represent equal spaces and shapes that are
hidden from the horizon and that are also located at 45° with respect to the plane of the painting.
How are they situated?
They are located from the vanishing point, the diagonal vanishing points are drawn at the distance
that separates the point of view from the vanishing point.
What are they for?
To represent objects of similar size, that are parallel to each other but that are altered by depth.
What is the use of three-dimensionalizing two-dimensional sketches?
To make it easier to understand because the drawing looks more real and you can distinguish the
three faces of the object.
How is the depth of a space divided into equal parts?
To divide a space in depth into equal parts in the horizontal plane we can use the method of
diagonals or that of a second vanishing point.
What is the utility?
So that the objects are proportioned, since when drawn in perspective the strokes that are closest to
the horizon line will be seen closer together, but they will always have the correct proportion so that
the illusion of planes and volumes is really generated.
How are spaces divided in oblique perspective?
A square and a grid are drawn on it, which goes from side to side and crosses the center of the
figure. When working on perspective, only two sides of that square can be seen, the grid that we
draw in the square, and this is done by drawing lines from side to side and taking the measurements
of the first grid, they are drawn on the square in perspective and vanished. This will form the grid
according to the depth it should have in perspective.
What resources learned in the course – and previous quarters – are useful for the
development of the design?
The ability to sketch quickly but clearly and apply values to make them clearer. Brainstorming, use
of networks or grids, Gestalt, color theory, images, photos, digital tools, etc.
How are spaces divided in 3 vanishing point perspective?
The same method that is used for oblique perspective can be used, since the third point only serves
to give height to the drawing.
What communicative possibilities do representations of inclined planes in perspective offer
us?
A better interpretation of the stage since these give depth to the space.
How are perspectives resolved with off-stage vanishing points?
Auxiliary lines are drawn towards the direction in which the vanishing points are located.
