Diagram explaining two-point perspective. A house is drawn using two vanishing points on a horizon line, with labeled vanishing points, horizon line, and vanishing lines.
When drawing something at an angle, it’s important to remember that objects look smaller the farther away they are. Artists draw along vanishing lines to make their pictures look 3D.
