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 "Ãso 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
