Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point

The vanishing point is the point at which receding parallel lines, when viewed in perspective, appear to converge.

A vanishing point, also known as a point of convergence, plays a crucial role in many artistic works. In linear perspective drawing, the vanishing point is the point on the horizon line to which parallel lines appear to converge as they recede into the distance. This concept is essential for creating drawings, paintings, and photographs that convey a three-dimensional appearance.
