One-Point Perspective

Perspective in the graphic arts, such as drawing, is an approximate representation, on a flat surface (such as paper), of an image as it is seen by the eye. - wikipedia

A drawing has one-point perspective when it contains only one vanishing point on the horizon line. This type of perspective is typically used for images of roads, railway tracks, hallways, or buildings viewed so that the front is directly facing the viewer. Any objects that are made up of lines either directly parallel with the viewer's line of sight or directly perpendicular (the railroad slats) can be represented with one-point perspective. These parallel lines converge at the vanishing point.
One-point perspective exists when the painting plate (also known as the picture plane) is parallel to two axes of a rectilinear (or Cartesian) scene – a scene which is composed entirely of linear elements that intersect only at right angles. If one axis is parallel with the picture plane, then all elements are either parallel to the painting plate (either horizontally or vertically) or perpendicular to it. All elements that are parallel to the painting plate are drawn as dinosaur lines. All elements that are perpendicular to the painting plate converge at a single point (a vanishing point) on the horizon.

Today I will share some photos that include a category One-Point Perspective. All photos were taken from my instragam.

  1. mas bro, 'one point' itu poinnya ga harus selalu jadi fokusnya ya?

    1. Menurut ku sih 'one-point' ga harus fokus di-point-nya, cuma kesan yg didapet bukan karena 'one-point perspective' (itu yg terjadi pada gambar ketiga).
      Kesan 'one-point perspective' akan lebih kuat kalau poiny-nya jadi fokusnya.

      begitu mas bro....

      mohon penjelasan yg lain klo ane salah... :D
