Study Notes

Perspective Drawing

Prioritizes spatial representation to create an illusion of depth
Aims to give a 3D effect from a linear angle
Used in landscape drawings, blueprints, and any object
Can create optical illusions, such as foreshortening
Foreshortening: objects closer to the eye appear more prominent than objects farther away
To create a perspective drawing:
- Mark a simple horizontal line for the viewer's eye level
- Choose a vanishing point on the horizon (where parallel lines intersect)
- Draw perspective lines from the vanishing point to the main subject

Isometric Drawing

Derived from Greek "íso metro" meaning equal measure
Angle between x, y, and z axes is 120°
No perspective, with all three dimensions drawn at full scale
Used in engineering, architecture, and design to represent fixed objects and structures
Gives the illusion of depth and space, but from a fixed angle
