Students often find one-point linear perspective more approachable than two-point — and for good reason. The vanishing point sits somewhere within the picture plane, visible and accountable, rather than roaming off the edge of the paper. That said, the technique still requires careful attention to line quality and a clear sense of how each orthogonal line converges toward that single point. The drawings below range from in-class exercises to more extended homework projects, and together they show a variety of subjects and approaches within the same fundamental spatial framework.
