  1. TheGeneral Rulesof Perspective The Illusion of Depth

  2. The General Rules of Perspective • Knowing and using the General Rules of Perspective is another “drawing trick” to help you show depth on a 2-D surface. • Use these “rules” to make your drawings of still-life and landscapes more realistic.

  3. The Picture Plane • Background – appears furthest • Middle ground – in the middle • Foreground – appears closest

  4. The General Rules of Perspective Rule 1: overlapping objects • Objects must be opaque • One object appears closer than the other

  5. The General Rules of Perspective Rule 2: Relative Size • Larger objects tend to appear closer than smaller objects

  6. The General Rules of Perspective Rule 3: Placement objects higher on the page are farther back – objects lower on the page are “closer”

  7. The General Rules of Perspective Rule 4: Colour • Brightly coloured objects appear closer than duller coloured objects

  8. The General Rules of Perspective Rule 5: Detail Clear, sharp edged, visible details make an object appear closer than objects with hazy outlines

  9. Rule 6: Aerial (or Atmospheric) Perspective First investigated by Leonardo DaVinci Creating a sense of depth in painting by imitating the way the atmosphere makes distant objects appear less distinct and more bluish than they would be if nearby. The General Rules of Perspective

  10. The General Rules of Perspective • Rule 7: Linear PerspectiveParallel lines appear to converge in the distance • The point on the horizon where they meet is called the vanishing point
