One-Point Perspective: Horizon, Vanishing Point and Receding Sizes by Similar Triangles
This lesson is part of the course
In this lesson
You use similar triangles to draw eight equal fence posts at growing distances: their drawn height, their offset from the vanishing point, where their tops sit relative to the horizon and how the gaps shrink.
