Perspective breakdown

some of the lines are shaky but I think it gets the point across.

1. I picked some blobs to represent a human much like guesture drawing. They contain no information on perspective so they look flat.

2.vanishing points and perspective effect everything we see. For a large object like a human the only way to not see perspective is to stand back with a telephoto lense. If you stand closer, perspective and forshortening become heightened. You can treat cross countor lines like fancy ellipses, that trace the object like you are running your fingers over it.

3. Now it looks like these blobs exist in a space. The changes between the lines are suble but if you can learn to identify it, then you can control the lense you use to draw your figures from imagination. Or add other objects to match the perspective
