A horizon line is commonly a imagined guide line that represents the horizon in the drawing. In it's simplest form it is simply a line that roughly represents the vertical position of the observer with respect to objects in the scene. It's main property is that all parallell lines converge at one unique point on the horizon line. Setting the horizon line low in the image will yield a birds perspective of the scene, while a high line make a frog perspective.
More complex drawings that contain objects that are not parallell to the imagined ground plane will have several horizon lines. For example, consider a simple drawing of a block-formed house with a tilted roof. The horizon line of the house body would normally be the same as the one for the ground plane it is resting on. The edges of the roof would have a different horizon line, above the one associated with the walls and the ground plane. One interesting and valuable feature is that the edges of the roof will converge at a point on it's horizon line that is straight above the corresponding agreggation point for the lines of the body of the house, scince the lines are only rotated with respect to each other along one axis. If the roof has several sections with different angles, their perspective points will all be at the intersection of their corresponding horizon lines and a vertical line through the aggregation point for the house wall. This is true also for a more complicated three-point perspective, with the vertical line replaced for one that is converging at the third perspective point of the drawing.
More generally, a perspective draving requires one horizon line for each set of parallell lines.
This concept can be extended to make even more complicated constructs with vertical "horizon lines" and even lines at arbritrary angles corresponding to different orientation of objects along any axis. (Do Google the differences between one- two- and three-point perspectives. It is also possible to construct a four-point perspective where each set of parallell lines requie two horizon lines, but this is not consistent unless the parallell lines are rendered in curves and is generally very tedious to acheive by hand. The result would resemble a picture taken with a circular fish-eye lens. :) )

What are the four elements of perspective drawing?
The four elements of perspective drawing are the horizon line, the vanishing point, the distance point, the orthogonals, and the transversals. Put together these elements help 2-D renderings appear 3-D.
What is a horizon line?
A horizon line in drawing and art is an invisible line that acts as sort of marker for the artist. The horizon line represents where the viewer is looking in perspective to other objects in the picture.
What can an artists do to make the viewer feel as if he or she is above the objects in a painting?
Make the horizon line relatively low in the paintingApex
What are the kind of perspective drawing?
1)Linear perspective drawing 2)Aeria perspective drawing.
Are all drawings perspective drawings why or why not?
No, not all drawings are perspective. To draw in persective there is a specific layout, useing the horizon, or a vanishing point,.. basicly giveig the drawing a 3d effect, of depth.

What is the Horizon Line in 2PP?
The horizon line in a two-point perspective drawing represents where the sky meets the ground or other elements in the scene. It is a horizontal line that helps to establish the viewer's eye level and vanishing points in the composition.
Definition of horizon lines in reference to perspective drawing?
The point at which horizon lines receding from an observer seem to converge.
What are the perspective lines of art?
Receding lines converge into vanishing points. If you stared at railroad tracks leading away from you, as they approached the horizon, they'd appear to meet. They disappear/converge into the vanishing point.

What does a painter need to do to create a linear perspective?
Establish a horizon line and a vanishing point
What makes a picture perspective?
When the artist uses linear perspective. It is a bit technical but is based on the way RR tracks look as they go into the distance, they seem to converge. There is a horizon line and a vanishing point that determine the angle of all items placed in the drawing.
What are the different types of perspective?
There are three main types of perspective in art: one-point perspective, two-point perspective, and three-point perspective. One-point perspective involves a single vanishing point on the horizon line, while two-point perspective has two vanishing points on the horizon line. Three-point perspective incorporates a third vanishing point above or below the horizon line for a more dynamic composition.
In one-point perspective what is the line called that separates the ground and the sky?
The Horizon.
In one point perspective what is the line called that separates the ground and the sky?
The Horizon.
What does a painter need to do to create a liner perspective?
