Perspective Drawing:
A drawing method that creates the illusion of space by drawing lines and shapes that appear to get smaller as they get further away, approaching a “vanishing point” on the “horizon line.”
Objective:
The main objective of learning perspective drawing is to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality on a two-dimensional surface, enabling artists to depict objects and scenes more realistically and effectively.
