What is really happening is a subtle slope to two VPs on both sides it’s gradual but it’s there. At center point of the image, there’s the illusion that things fall straight across in the middle. Truth is, the moment you move to the right or left of those tracks, it slowly falls apart. When we place the wooden ties under the rails, as kids, we’re taught to just draw them straight across and we’re done. When we learn one-point perspective as kids, it’s usually drawing a train tunnel, hall way, or some such nonsense. We start with the tracks as usual, vanishing off to the Horizon Line (HL) and this is where we got side-swiped as kids. We limit it to two or three for simplicity, but the fact is, in real life we’re surrounded with billions of VPs, and in some cases multiple Horizon Lines*! It’s only how lazy we are that dictates how few points we use. The simple fact is, there’s no such thing as true one-point perspective, it’s all multiple point perspective, but the limitations of a vantage point make the other Vanishing Points (VPs) less obvious. It’s used as an introduction to the complex nature of perspective, but most of us never get the whole truth and accept the stripped down version as an absolute over time. What he meant was when we’re taught one point perspective as a shortcut, and usually we’re only shown half the theory. I don’t own squat.īrian Stelfreeze once told me “There’s no such thing as one point perspective”, I argued, and I was wrong.
