The Basics
Single point perspective drawing involves creating an image around one definite point. In, for example, the photograph below, the point used if this drawing was to be sketched is the point right where the train tracks and the sky meet, right in the centre of the picture. Notice how most of the lines of the photographs - the train tracks, the grass verges, the tops of the trees, are all running out from this point towards where the photograph has been taken.
How to Draw in Single Point Perspective
As the name suggests, a drawing drawn in single point perspective focuses around one main point. The following photographs show how to draw in single point perspective.
Step One - As visible in the photograph to the left, the first step you take is to establish the point that will give reference to everything you draw. This is known as the vanishing point - where all the lines will 'vanish' into.
After this is established, draw out a 2D shape, such as the rectangle shown to the right.
After this is established, draw out a 2D shape, such as the rectangle shown to the right.
Step Two - After this, from each of the corners of the rectangles draw a straight line back to the vanishing point.
Step Three - Sketch in the remaining lines, ensuring they run parallel to the lines of the square, as can be seen to the left.
