So there are several different types of perspective. The first is seen on the bottom left, and is characterized by the fact that every thing in the image aims towards one point on the page. This, interestingly enough, is called one point perspective. The second type, aptly named two point perspective (we creative types are so creative), is on the bottom right and is typically used when looking down the corner of an object or more commonly a building. In order to draw each of the buildings sides, you would have to use two points. Last but not least there’s (can you guess) three point perspective, seen on the top of the page. It’s similar to two point, in that you’re looking at an object down it’s corner, but you’re also looking up or down at the same time. For instance, when standing at the base of a sky scraper and looking straight up, the shape of the building begins to look triangular. This effect is duplicated using three point perspective. Well that’s that.
