Today you will learn the secret tools artists use: the horizon line, the vanishing point, and how things get smaller as they go far away.

Look down a long road. The two sides seem to squeeze together until they meet at one tiny spot far away. That spot is the vanishing point.
It always sits on the horizon line — the flat line where the sky meets the ground.
Try it: drag the glowing ● dot so it rests right on the dashed horizon line.
Here is the easy trick for one-point perspective: draw a flat square, then draw a line from each corner back to the vanishing point. Those lines give the box its depth!
Tap the 4 yellow corners of the front square, one at a time, to send each one toward the vanishing point ⭐.
Some lines stay flat (straight up or straight across). Other lines rush toward the vanishing point — those are the special depth lines that make 3D work.
Tap the 3 lines that point toward the ⭐ vanishing point.
The other big secret: things look smaller and sit closer to the horizon when they are far away. A near tree is huge; a far tree is tiny.
Slide to send the tree down the road. Make it look far away by moving the slider all the way to the right.
One box was drawn with depth lines going to a vanishing point. The other was drawn with flat, parallel lines. Tap the box that truly looks 3D.
Hint: look for lines that travel back to a single point.
You're a real perspective artist now. Brilliant work! 👏
