Top Tips
• Always use a sharp pencil and a ruler
• Nearly ALL lines head to at least one of the vanishing points when using three-point perspective, but there are exceptions, such as sloped roofs
• Refer back to the PowerPoints and videos from previous lessons if you get stuck
• Remember to erase your guidelines once they are no longer needed
• Remember that even the details follow the rules of perspective
• Consider how high/low you place the horizon line, as this will determine the eye level of the viewer
