Q

1 point perspective

A

Viewed from a flat side
Horizontal and depth lines converge at the single vanishing point which is on the horizon line
Verticals stay vertical
Circles will be seen as ellipses- must be freehand

17
Q

2 point Perspective

A

Viewed from a corner/edge
Horizontal and depth lines converge at the vanishing point which are on the horizon line
Verticals stay vertical
Circles will be ellipses- freehand

18
Q

A

Visible lines (Thick Continuous)
Hidden Lines(Thick Dashed)
Centre Lines (Thin Chain)
Title and Dimension lines (thin continuous)
