three-point perspective

Vanishing point trio

Three-point perspective is a drawing technique that creates the illusion of depth by using three vanishing points—two on the horizon line and one above or below it.

This produces dramatic views where vertical lines also converge, as when looking up at a skyscraper or down from a cliff.

It's common in architectural illustration and comic book art for dynamic, immersive angles.
