One-Point Perspective

What: Drawing depth with lines converging to a single vanishing point on the horizon.

Why: It creates a convincing illusion of the third dimension on a flat surface.

How: Set a horizon line and one vanishing point, and aim all receding lines at it.

Common mistake: Lines that don't meet the point, so the space breaks visually.

Exercise: Draw a corridor or room in one-point perspective and check the lines converge.
