<aside> 🎯

Goal: Create a convincing sense of depth, distance, and scale.

Key ideas

• Objects appear smaller as they move farther away.
• Parallel edges may seem to meet at a vanishing point.
• Overlap helps show which object is in front.
• Nearby objects often have stronger contrast and more detail.
• Distant objects often look lighter, softer, and less saturated.

Creative challenge

1. Draw a horizon line and one vanishing point.
2. Add three boxes at different heights and distances.
3. Make their receding edges point toward the vanishing point.
4. Add a path, road, or row of objects that gets smaller in the distance.
5. Use overlap and atmospheric perspective to strengthen the depth.

Reflect

• Which object feels closest? Why?
• Do receding edges follow the same system?
• What could make the space feel deeper?
