Learn How to Draw Objects in Perspective

If you want to learn how to draw objects in perspective you can take advantage of all of the programs that teach you exactly how to do this online. Some of the "learn how to draw perspective" programs are downloads and others take you right to a site that teaches you how to do it using step by step illustrations online.

Still nothing is more impressive than an artist that, without the aid of a computer software program about drawing perspective, can draw landscapes, buildings and people so that they look real.

Why is it so important to learn how to draw in perspective? Without any drawing perspective technique drawing just don't look realistic. They have a flattened look that lacks a point of view.

The main principle behind how to draw perspective is that objects up close are larger than those in the background. However drawing in perspective is not that easy as it is the angle of the chosen point of view that affects how realistic it looks.

The easiest way to draw is to use one point perspective. This means creating a vanishing point of perspective in your drawing which is a single point where all of the lines seem to converge to a distant point in a drawing.

Usually this vanishing point is located in the exact center of the drawing and just over the horizon line which is roughly where the paper would be if you folded it in half.

You can also get lessons in how to draw in two point perspective. This means that the object in the drawing has corners that are facing the viewer.

Expert artists and art teacher recommend that you use a very hard pencil like an HB to accomplish drawings done in one or two point perspective.

Some subjects are easier to draw than others, especially when it comes to one or two point perspective. To practice drawing this way try drawing a structure that appears to disappear into the horizon such as railroad tracks or a country road. The more angles you practice drawing the landscape or object from the better you will be at drawing perspective properly.
