Perspective Drawing
The art style Perspective Drawing is characterized by its use of perspective to create the illusion of depth. This is done by drawing objects in a way that makes them appear smaller the further away they are from the viewer. This can be done by using a vanishing point, or by drawing objects at different sizes.

Detailed description
In the Renaissance, artists began to use a technique called perspective drawing to create the illusion of depth on a flat surface. Perspective drawing uses the principles of geometry to create the illusion of depth. The most important principle of perspective drawing is the law of perspective, which says that objects appear smaller the farther away they are from the viewer. Artists use perspective drawing to create the illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface. The most important tool for perspective drawing is the vanishing point. The vanishing point is a point on the horizon line where parallel lines converge. Famous artists who used perspective drawing include Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Some famous paintings that use perspective drawing include The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci and The Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo.
