Where they all converge on the horizon is the vanishing point. In this example, the red line is the horizon and the blue lines are the converging lines that create the perspective.
Colored paper – such as brown craft paper. Piece of tracing paper the size of your print. I printed mine to fit a standard 8.5”x11” paper. You will need to print your reference for this exercise.
