If you're an artist, odds are that you've come across the term 5-point perspective. Or perhaps a "wide-angle" or "fisheye" perspective in illustration. Other names for this method include bubble art, curvilinear perspective, or perhaps you've heard it called something else entirely – the idea, however, is all the same: to fit a lot of detail on the page, you have to bend that space a bit.
There are several ways to go about creating a 5-point perspective, and I’m going to show you how I like to approach a wide-angle drawing or “point of view” sketch in a few simple steps below.
