To add dimension to a 2 Dimensional picture plane, artists use a variety of techniques to achieve depth. Perspective and tonal variety are the most common and successful tools, but in some forms of narrative drawing and painting illusions are used. In Monday’s lesson I learnt how to draw a realistic hole and a curved letter using perspective techniques and shading.

foreshortening is common in graphic comics and novels, we drew each other in class using extreme perspective, feet appear three times the size of heads to give very satisfying satisfactory illusions

At the end of last term we worked on extreme points of view, an ant and a birds eye view, I have looked at chess pieces for a charcoal drawing
