Templates

Printable perspective grid templates.

Ready-made grids on real paper sizes. Pick one, choose A4, A3, Letter or Tabloid, portrait or landscape, 150 to 600 DPI, and download a PDF. Put tracing paper over it, or import the PNG into your drawing app.

Printable pack

Forty-six sheets, true vector, one download.

The Perspective Grid Pack is every sheet a perspective class needs, rendered from the same camera model as the tools: one-, two- and three-point grids at 24–85 mm, seated, standing and balcony camera heights, scale-figure and car-box sheets, fisheye and 360° discs, isometric and oblique grids. A4, A3, Letter and Tabloid, grey or colour lines, crisp at any size. The free starter set has seven of them.

Digital pack

The same forty-six grids as transparent layers.

Digital Grid Layers is the pack for Procreate, Photoshop, Clip Studio, Krita, Affinity and anything else with layers: every grid as a transparent PNG at 4096 × 2304, 4096 × 3072 and A4 at 300 dpi, in grey and colour, plus SVG for vector apps and layered PSD libraries with one hidden layer per grid. Drop a grid on a layer, set it to Multiply, lower the opacity, draw. The free starter has seven grids at 4K plus SVG.

Reference pack

And 252 finished scenes to draw over.

The Perspective Reference Pack is the other half of a grid: rooms, streets, crowds, vehicles, heads and cylinders already drawn in perspective, at 4096 × 2304 transparent PNG, each file named with the lens, the camera height, the rotation and the tilt that made it — plus a catalogue PDF and the camera data as CSV and JSON. Same camera model as these sheets, so a reference and a printed grid agree. The free starter has 20 scenes.

Workbook

Thirty exercises, with the answers.

The Perspective Workbook is the teaching half of all this: six chapters in order of difficulty, thirty printed grids with a task on each, and the finished construction on the next page with three things to look for and a measured answer. Seventy pages as true vector PDF in A4 and US Letter, every page again as a 300 dpi PNG for drawing on a tablet, each exercise grid on its own as a transparent layer, and the answer key in its own file so a teacher can hand out the pages without it. The free starter has five exercises.

Newsletter

A new lesson and a new grid, about once a month.

Each lesson arrives by email before it goes on the site, with the grid it was drawn on and the link to open it. Subscribers also get both free starter packs and the subscriber price on the paid ones. Never more than two emails a month; one click to leave.

Which perspective template to print

Every template here is a real camera view, not a diagram: a lens in millimetres, a tilt, a horizon, one-metre squares on the ground. That is why the 24 mm two-point grid feels like a wide-angle street photograph and the 45° 50 mm grid feels calm. Pick by the picture you want, not by the number of points.

Interiors, corridors, roads seen straight on — the 1-point perspective grid template, or the wide-angle version when the room should feel long. Buildings on a corner, furniture, vehicles — the 2-point perspective grid template. Looking up at towers or down into streets — the 3-point grids, looking up and looking down. Comics, wide interiors, dream sequences — the fisheye and 6-point 360° curvilinear templates. Crowds and scale — the grid with scale figures, which has 1.75 m people at three distances and a door already in place.

Printing and using the sheet

Choose the paper size, orientation, margin and resolution on the template page and download the PDF; it is generated on your device at that size. Put tracing paper or thin cartridge over the sheet, or tape it to a light box. The grey and light-grey ink options print faintly enough to draw straight over. For a digital workflow download the PNG instead, import it into Procreate, Clip Studio, Photoshop or Krita as a layer at 30–40% opacity, and draw on a layer above.

Need a different angle or lens? Any grid from the interactive tools exports as PNG or SVG at the settings you choose; these perspective templates are the ones people ask for most, pre-set and sized for paper.

Questions

Which perspective template should I print?

For a room or a straight road, the 1-point grid. For a building corner or a box on a table, the 2-point grid (the 45° version if the object is square-on to you). For looking up at a tower or down into a street, the 3-point grids. For fisheye or 360° drawings, the curvilinear templates.

What paper sizes and resolutions are available?

A4, A3, A5, US Letter and Tabloid, portrait or landscape, at 150, 300 or 600 DPI. The PDF is generated on your device at the size you choose, so a 600 DPI A3 sheet prints sharp.

Can I use these perspective grid templates in Procreate or Photoshop?

Yes. Download the PNG instead of the PDF, import it as a layer, lower its opacity and draw on a layer above. For a grid at your own angle and lens, use the interactive tools and export a transparent PNG.

Are the templates free for classroom use?

Yes, free for personal, classroom and commercial use. Print as many as you need.
