Study Notes
Perspective Drawing Techniques
- Perspective Drawing: A method used to create the illusion of depth on a flat surface, depicting how objects appear smaller as they recede into the distance.
Key Components of Perspective
- Converging Lines: In perspective drawing, lines that lead towards the horizon converge at a single point.
- Vanishing Point: This term identifies the point in linear perspective where all parallel lines appear to meet, establishing depth in the drawing.
Horizon Line
- Horizon Line: Represents the viewer's eye level on the paper and indicates where the sky meets the ground, serving as a crucial reference in perspective drawing.
Closest Area to Viewer
- Foreground: The area in a perspective drawing that appears closest to the viewer, providing a sense of proximity and dimensionality.
