Vanishing Points Create Perspective

Take a look at the rooflines and tops and bottoms of the windows. They all slope downwards, meeting at two vanishing points, one at the right and one at the left. Now look at the base of the buildings. They slope upwards, meeting at the same two vanishing points. Above the eye level, lines slope down; below the eye level, lines slope up. Two-point perspective comes into play when you look at a building from an angle. Basically, when you can see two sides of a building, then you’ll have two vanishing points, which means two-point perspective. Simple enough! To simplify further, note that all the vertical lines of our buildings stay parallel to each other.

Let’s look at the paving stones of the piazza. See how the lines of the pavement also meet at the two vanishing points. Use perspective to make a tile floor or paving blocks look realistic.
