• Converging Lines

• Orthogonal Lines

• Vertical Lines

• Horizon Line

What are the first two steps in creating linear perspective?

Answer explanation

Creating a horizon line and then adding vanishing points to either side of the horizon.

How are the tops and bottoms of objects created when using 2-point perspective?

Answer explanation

By crisscrossing the corners to the opposite vanishing points.

For instance, the right corner would be taken over to the left vanishing point & vice versa.

True or False: Objects appear larger as they go further back in space.
