PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS
A well-drawn perspective excels in conveyingthe
experience of being in athree-dimensional spatial
environment.
• The experiential nature of a perspective drawing relies
on our ability to defineat le t hree layers of depth
ast
within a scene: a foreground, a m
iddleground, and a
background.
• Perspective drawings assume there is an observer
located at a specific point in space and looking in a
specific direction.
• Multiview and para line drawings, on the other hand,
do not m reference to thepoint of view of an
ake
observer. We canview thedrawingsfrom v
arious
angles and be comfortable inreading the objective
information. Our eyes can roam over the expanse of
a plan or paraline drawing and be able to correctly
interpret the graphic information.
