| One-point perspective drawing | A drawing method that shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single ‘vanishing point’ on the horizon line |
| Orthographic drawings | A drawing that shows the height, width, and depth of a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional drawing; includes floor plans, elevations, and sections |
| Orthogonal line | A line that goes from an object’s corner to the vanishing point, creating depth. It’s usually drawn lightly and erased later. |
| Scale-drawing | drawing with dimensions at a specific ratio relative to the actual size of the object being drawn |
| Serif | a slight projection finishing off a stroke of a letter in certain typefaces |
| Two-point perspective drawing | Two-point perspective occurs when you can see two vanishing points from your point of view. Two-point perspective drawings are often used in architectural drawings and interior designs; they can be used for drawings of both interiors and exteriors |
