Perspective
- creates an illusion of depth on a two dimensional surface
- based on how the human eye sees the world
- Objects which are closer appear larger, while more distant objects appear smaller

In one point perspective, surfaces that face the viewer appear as their true shape, without any distortion. They are drawn using
primarily horizontal and vertical lines.
Surfaces that travel away from the viewer, converge towards a single ‘vanishing point‘. This is a point that is located directly in front of the viewer’s eyes, on a ‘horizon line’ (also known as an ‘eye level line’).
