One Point Perspective or Parallel Perspective point perspective works well for situations like the one below, where the viewer is oriented directly in front of a set of parallel lines like railroad tracks or a long hallway.

But what if you want to show the viewer something from an angle?

Two point perspective uses two vanishing points set well apart on the horizon line. The rule of thumbs here is sets of parallel lines must be either vertical or recede toward one of the two vanishing points.

Hello Class!  Welcome to ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE!

To create a drawing from One Point Perspective you need to know a few basic things. One Point Perspective is also called Parallel Perspective because YOU are parallel to the objects that you will be drawing. Also, vertical lines are parallel and horizontal lines are parallel and the back edges of objects that recede in the distance are parallel to the front edges of those objects.

Since we are in New York City artists have many options to improve their life drawing skills by drawing from a model outside of this class.  Most of these options offer a student rate. Practicing our craft is VITAL.  Take advantage of the resources in our city!

The New York Society of Illustrators is an incredible resource for up and coming commercial artists.  The sketch night is a great way to get to know this institution.  Its lively with great models,live music, pro illustrators, and often comes with FOOD!  This one is wonderful and is the cheapest option I’ve found.
