Perspective is a method of creating the illusion of depth by means of converging lines. In simple terms that means that by taking and arranging your lines on a piece of paper, you can make your image appear as though it is three dimensional. Visualize standing in the front of your room, the back wall seems far away. Things farther away from where you are standing appear smaller. Practice drawing a room where things are smaller when farther away.
