How to Draw Above and Below Eye Level

When drawing in perspective, start by choosing your eye level, the horizon line. This affects how lines recede and where vanishing points go as you look up or down. Lines aiming up mean you're looking down; lines aiming down mean you're looking up. Understanding one-point, two-point, and three-point perspectives and the spatial axes is key. Practice by sketching rooms from different eye levels, noticing how angles change as objects approach eye level. Repetition will embed these concepts into your drawing habits. Your project: Sketch scenes repeatedly to build instinct, then redraw them from higher and lower eye levels to observe how line angles change while keeping proportions consistent.
