Introduction to
Two-Point Perspective
The major difference between one-point and two-point perspective is that one-point perspective has
one vanishing point, and two-point perspective has two vanishing points in different locations on
the horizon line.Three-dimensional rectangular forms, such as buildings, cars, and tables, have vantage points where the two sides of the
object are seen at the same time, as in the example of the barn pictured here.
When objects (whether in a landscape, city, or townscape) or an interior are placed at different angles to each other, you will
find that their parallel sides converge toward different vanishing points.
Even though these examples have multiple vanishing points that fall on the same horizon line, this is still referred to as two-
point perspective.
