Take this image as an example: we see that the shapes get smaller the further away they go.

When drawing with perspective, we need a reference point.

This can be defined as a small 'x' or dot (•) on your paper.

All your lines will be heading towards that dot or X, and will eventually join together if ever you decide to make and infinite-illusion space.

Perspective is important because it helps us to see how our drawing will either dip in towards the paper, or jump out of it.
