As you continue to build your
scenes with various objects and characters, it is important to show to your
audience the relationships between each object. This is relationship had been
summed up in the laws of perspective; which
can be explained as the art of representing solid objects on a flat
surface so that they are seen in relationship to one another in space, just as
they would appear to the eye.
To grasp a better understanding
of how these laws work, let’s imagine that you are standing on a rail track
that stretches into a far distance, you will notice that as the lines recede
into the far distance it appears that the tracks are converge at a point, this point is called the varnishing point.
Now just imagine that you draw a horizontal line that passes through the
varnishing point, this line is the eye view which separates our scene into two.
The upper division represents the sky view while the lower one represents the
foreground which contains things closer to the observer or most noticeable,
while objects further from the observer are placed in the background. Note that near objects always appear in darker
colors or line, while those far are lighter.
The Italian artists,
architect and mathematician, Filipino Brunellesschi (1377-1446), was the first to study these in-depth and today they
have been broken down into easy to grasp separate laws. Below is the Seven Laws of Perspective.
The Seven Laws of Perspective
1. Surface - things that are closer to the
eye are drawn closer to the bottom of the picture
2. Size - things that are nearer to the
eye should be drawn largerNext>>
