In-depth Explanations with Actionable Insights:
Mastering Perspective and Foreshortening
Perspective is the technique used to represent three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface. Foreshortening is a specific type of perspective used to create the illusion of an object receding strongly into the background.
Actionable Insight: Practice drawing cubes and cylinders in various orientations. Start by sketching the horizon line, then add the vanishing points. Draw the objects with lines converging at the vanishing points to achieve proper perspective.
Understanding Light and Shadow
Light and shadow give your drawing a sense of form and depth.
Actionable Insight: Set up a still life with a single light source. Sketch the objects, paying close attention to where the light falls and where shadows are cast. Use hatching to differentiate ...
