What is the difference between reality and appearance in perspective drawing?
Reality in perspective drawing represents figures and objects as they are in space, while appearance represents them as we see them from a specific viewpoint.
Why do children, beginners, and some artists draw objects with parallel sides, despite the true appearance being elliptical shapes on a converging surface?
