There are many different types of perspective, the ones that I have looked at so far include, one, two, three and four point perspective.
One point perspective-
One point perspective uses a vanishing point that in which all intersecting lines point to, on the horizon.
An example of a piece of artwork that uses one point perspective is a piece by Gustave Caillebotte. He uses one point perspective to depict a painting of people walking along a bridge.
Two point perspective-
Two point perspective is similar to one point perspective but uses two vanishing points, seen on the horizon as seen in the image below.
Here is an example of sketch work that uses two point perspective.
These different types of perspective can also be used in not only drawing and painting but in photography as well like seen in the image below:
Three point perspective-
Three point perspective has two vanishing point on the eye level and one lower down.
This type of perspective is used when portraying what is seen from a high position, for example on top of a builidng.
Four point perspective-
Four point perspective has also been called infinite perspective. The image produced when using this type of perspective also gives off a 360 degree panoramic design.
Gil Gorski is a fine artist painter and architect. He uses his skills to paint surreal buildings, cities and imaginative ancient cityscapes.
In this piece of artwork by Gil Gorski, he uses very complex composition, form and still is able to portray it with a clear sense of perspective. He used perspective to create a realistic and convincing sense of 3D space and distance.
In this specific example of his work he uses 2-point perspective to create the illusion of height, width and depth. Gil Gorski also uses the technique of reducing the size of an object the further away it is reinforcing the artwork looking like a 3D environment. I drew lines along some of the bars so that I could see the vanishing points within the piece and that's how I could easily tell that it was using two point perspective.
