21. Intro to Perspective - 6 Ways to Create Depth

 This lesson comes from a series of videos created by Stan Prokopenko.

There are six different ways you can indicate a sense of space (near and far) in your art.

1. Overlap

Any object that overlaps another appears in front. This is the most powerful method, superseding any other.

2. Size

As objects/shapes get smaller, they appear to go back into the distance.

3. Convergence (Linear Perspective)

4. Foreshortening

5. Atmospheric Perspective (uses value)

6. Shading & Rendering (light & shadow - also uses value)
