horizon line.
Q: What is the main difference between one-point and two-point perspective?
A: Objects in the scene appear to recede towards two points on the horizon.
Q: What are vanishing points in perspective drawing?
A: These are points located on the horizon line where the object seems to vanish in the
perspective drawing.
Printmaking Techniques
