Perspective drawing

Artists use perspective drawing, also known as 3D or anamorphic drawing, to create three-dimensional images in a two-dimensional space, such as on paper. Those who use this type of drawing pay attention to distance, space, light, volume, surface and scale to determine how each object relates to one another. Two types of perspective drawing include:

    Aerial perspective: Focuses on shading, tone and color aspects of perspective

    Linear perspective: Focuses on the organization of shapes within a space

Architects, engineers, interior designers and illustrators may work in perspective drawing.
