One-point perspective

Why far things look small. With one point, you can draw a street, a hallway or a room.

1. 1Draw a horizontal line across the page. That’s the horizon, at your eye level.
2. 2Put one dot on it: the vanishing point.
3. 3Every line that goes straight away from you heads to that dot. Lines across stay horizontal, and up-and-down lines stay vertical.
