Description
Young artists learn how to:
- Achieve the illusion of depth by gradually diminishing the sizes of – and the distance between – similar objects
- Use soft edged and less detail on objects in the background to make them seem farther away
- Introduce depth simply by manipulating color and value
- Draw from any viewpoint – on either side, above or below
- Draw accurate angles without complicated measuring devices
- Use perspective to track down the problem when something you’ve drawn just doesn’t look right
- Measure relative sizes and add the details that make the difference between a convincing pictures and an awkward one
- Properly draw roads, paths, streets, fields and streams to suggest depth in a scene and to describe the flatness or hilliness of a landscape.
