Draw one-point perspective - step one

H South
Let's draw a simple box using one-point perspective. First, draw a horizon line about one-third down your page. Use a small dot or line to mark a spot roughly in the middle of the line. That's your vanishing point. (Don't make it as big as this example - you want it to be small, so that all your lines finish in exactly the same spot.)
