2 point perspective drawing
effective two-point perspective drawings from past semesters
atmospheric perspective
Atmospheric perspective is a strategy used in drawing and painting to create a sense of deep space. It is based on the way that a landscape looks when there is high humidity or mist in the air (see the photo below). Atmospheric perspective is achieved in the drawing below by making objects in the distance lighter and lower contrast, while making objects in the foreground darker and higher contrast.
