One-point, two-point, and three-point perspective
I've saved the results of the previous exercise as The glass box.ai and in this exercise, I am going to give you a sense of what's meant by the 1-point, 2-point or 3-point perspective grid. Now this is not Illustrator's nomenclature by the way. This is standard perspective drawing. You can have one vanishing point, or two vanishing points, or three vanishing points. Now that doesn't necessarily mean that a perspective drawing created with one vanishing point is somehow not going to look as good as one rendered with three vanishing point. However, three vanishing points is a heck of a lot more complicated. So let me show you what's going on there. I've got this other illustration that I've credit for you, that's called Perspective varieties.ai and it contains three different photographs that are rendered with different levels of perspective. These are real-world photographs from the Fotolia Image Library. Right now, here inside the layers panel, I have all three of the layers turned…
