What is it, exactly… And how do I use it? PERSPECTIVE What is it, exactly… And how do I use it?
PERSPECTIVE: A mathematical and scientifically proven means of creating the illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface… …in other words, it feels like you can walk into the picture!
SOME TYPES OF PERSPECTIVE LINEAR PERSPECTIVE: A form of perspective, in which parallel lines are represented as converging, so as to give the illusion of depth and distance. AERIAL PERSPECTIVE: Creating the illusion of depth by making object closer, clearer and more intense (or bright). Objects further away are less distinct and paler, with a bluish haze. ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE: Another name for Aerial Perspective.
SOME TYPES OF PERSPECTIVE LINEAR PERSPECTIVE: AERIAL PERSPECTIVE:
LINEAR PERSPECTIVE One-Point Perspective: Has one vanishing point that is located on the horizon line. Two-Point Perspective: Has two vanishing points that are located on the horizon line. Three-Point Perspective: Has two vanishing points that are located on the horizon line and one vanishing point either above or below the horizon line.

If you have a circular or organic shape, just place it inside of a box or rectangle in order to get the correct angles. Then draw all of your lines at the same angle as your guide lines to get the 3-D shape.
