Introduction to One-Point Perspective chapter 6
In this drawing, the complexity of New York City is surveyed from a high vantage point. New York was built on a grid; conse-
quently, this is mainly a one-point perspective drawing. However, not all of the streets were incorporated into the grid, and so
there are also some two-point perspective examples here (see Chapter 7). Distance is suggested in this drawing, not only
through perspective and proportion, but through drawing the prevailing atmosphere. The concrete, solid buildings turn to
shimmering cutouts in a late-afternoon light.
