Term | Definition |
---|---|
Horizon line | The line in a perspective drawing where the sky meets the ground. It also represents the viewer’s eye level |
One-point perspective drawing | One point perspective is 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 which is at right angles to another. In linear perspective drawings, it is the line you draw from the corner of an object to the vanishing point. |
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 |
Vanishing point | The point on the horizon line at which lines or edges that are parallel appear to converge. |
