Illustration for Beginners Lesson on Perspective. 

To print the worksheet just highlight it and send it to your printer or save to your device to print later. Some people have better luck by dragging the image to their desktop and printing from there. If you have problems printing see the how to print tab above.

Simply stated as the parallel lines of the side of the road recede into the distance they "appear" to draw closer together, and if they continued on into infinity or the horizon they "appear" to touch.

The point where the two sides of the road appear to touch is called the vanishing point.

In my illustration the vanishing point is set on the horizon at the foot of some hills. The two lines of the sides of the road are widely spaced at the bottom of the illustration but as they move toward the hills the lines come closer together until they touch.

The second illustration shows a curved "S" shaped road but the same principle applies. The road is wider at the base and the two sides of the road "appears" to draw closer together until they touch.

It is this appearance that we call perspective.

You could perceive the same effect if you were looking up a tall building or down a railroad track.

PROJECT NOTES BELOW MAY BE PRINTED

BODY
Start with a basic shape by drawing two curved lines, one going up and over for the back and one going down and over for the "tummy;" the lines will connect at the nose and tail. Draw the tail first as a large triangle.

DORSAL FIN
Draw the top, dorsal, fin (fin #1)  with two lines going up and curving back, the long one starts halfway across the back, the other line is shorter and almost at the tail. A third line curves down from the long first line to the shorter second line

TAIL
The back of the tail curves inward, draw two lines for the curve. (These lines for the tail and fins do not have to be perfect because if the fish is swimming the fins are moving and might be turned or twisted.)

FINS
 Fin #2 is a front fin where the neck would be and a little higher than the bottom "tummy" line. It is just two lines curving toward a blunt point.  Fin #3 it is a little larger and is also just two lines curving to a blunt point.  Fin #4 is at the back of the bottom; it is three lines, a long one starting a little behind the halfway point curving backwards, the second line is short and about 2/3 of the way toward the tail from the first line, the third line is almost straight and connects the two. The fins have hair-thin bones in them, draw these carefully, start at the body line and sweep outward lifting your pencil or marker as you go so they get thinner at the end.

EYE, MOUTH GILLS
The eye is a black circle with a white ring around it and a thin black ring around the white ring. If you are drawing in marker or pencil outline the white ring lightly with a black circle but don't make it too dark. The mouth is a short downward line. The gills are just two or three curved line in front of the fin about where the neck would be.

Example how to draw a goldfish art lesson.

I did not choose to draw the scales, if you draw scales don't make them too small or too big, take your time to make them even by drawing a light "grid" or some light guidelines to keep the pattern from getting crooked then erase the grid or guidelines when you are done.

PRINTABLE NOTES

If you look at a cylinder from the center side view it will look like a rectangle.

If you look at a cylinder from straight above it will look like a circle.

If you look at a cylinder at an angle you see both the top and the side at the same time; now the top appears as an oval and the side is no longer a rectangle.

To draw the cylinder start with a rectangle, add an oval across the top, make sure it is level on both sides.

Make a curve on the bottom this curve needs to have just the same amount of curve as the one on the top.

The oval of the top needs to be just as high on one side as it is on the other side.

Use shading to make it look round and three dimensional.

PRINTABLE NOTES

Everybody's eyes are different so don't get discouraged if the ones you draw are not perfect because somewhere there is someone with eyes like the ones you drew.

BEGINNING
This simple eye starts with three lines. The first one for the upper eyelid is like a rainbow arch. The second line is a circle with a little bit going above the arch. The third line is a wavy one for the lower eyelid.

Place your shiny reflective spot early so you won't work over it.

The eyebrow is wider than the eye, just make a few marks to place it in the drawing but come back and finish it later since it is easy.

DETAILS
Draw a circle for the pupal, it almost touches the eyelid with its top edge. The circle of the pupal and the circle of the iris should look like a doughnut.

The skin of the eyelids are thick. Draw a second line to show the thickness.

The iris has a dark edge, so go over the outside of the iris a little but not too much. There are flecks of color in the iris they are like lines going from the outside edge to the pupal.

There is a fold of skin above the eye, it is drawn as a shadow with a soft line.

The eyelashes start on the outer edge of the eyelids. The top eyelashes are much longer than the lower ones. There are more eyelashes on the side away from the nose and fewer near the nose.

The eyebrow curves over the eye. The hair of the eyebrow goes in different directions; near the nose, it goes straight up but in the center, it is at an angle toward the ear and at the end, by the ear, it is laying down pointing away.

There is a shadow on the eye caused by the eyelashes and the thick eyelid, it is a thin shadow so don't overdo it.
