Tiles in Perspective



Square Tiles in 2-point perspective.
 

#Perspective drawing is essential to creating a sense of presence in visual art. 

Establish horizontal distance from viewpoint to Base Line.  Mark off equal distances along base lint to establish tile widths.  Project tile widths to vanishing point on Horizon at (eye) height "H".  All parallel lines on the same horizontal plane will vanish at the horizon.  So, knowing that, and that the diagonals of the square tiles run at 45 degrees, we simply look  45 degree from our viewpoint to find the vanishing point of  all parallel (45 degree) lines on the horizon.  So W = H.  Projecting from the vanishing point to base line widths, we discover the perspective squares.  A more detailed explanation is made in my seminar on perspective.  Contact me, James Olson: email:
