One-Point perspective is a type of linear perspective that uses a single vanishing point to create the illusion of depth in an artwork. There are several methods of linear perspective, but one-point which is a single-point perspective is the simplest drawing method. 

This drawing method shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single ‘vanishing point’ on the horizon line. This way of drawing objects upon a flat piece of two-dimensional drawing surface makes them look three-dimensional and realistic. This will create an illusion of depth on the drawing surface.

Title of Artwork: Magnificent City of MQY

Size of Artwork: 30 x 21 cm

Artist’s Statement: This marvellous city is named after its glorious and wise founder, MQY. As you can see, the buldings in the shape of 'M', 'Q' and 'Y' are the city headquarters. The Pi (3.14159...) building is headquarters of Mathematics and there are various buildings in the shape of geometric shapes and even a Microsoft headquarters with four squares buildings. The smiley face building on the right is the headquarters of residents' well-being, while the buildings on the left are housing estates. There must be trees to absorb carbon dixoide and give out oxgyen for the environment. Overall, I had great fun drawing out my city and the technical aspects of this artwork was manageable.

The scene is set against a striking backdrop of a vivid sunset, which gracefully blends shades of pink, purple, blue, orange, and yellow, creating a mesmerizing atmosphere.

Title of Artwork: Cityscape

Size of Artwork: 30 x 21 cm

Artist’s Statement: My teacher showed me how to draw one-point perspective. Thus, I used what I learned to draw a city street with buildings. I left the road clear so that it seems to stretch infinitely towards the horizon. There is a wider field of view, such that it feels like there is more free space as compared to having a building right in front which blocks everything.
