The first assignment back from spring break introduced us to creating, emphasizing, and exaggerating depth cues to enhance the illusion of deeper spaces in a drawing. We talked about overlapping of objects in a composition, vertical positioning creating layers, diminishing size of objects for indicating things farther away than others, brightening or blurring objects to create atmospheric perspective and focal areas/points, and converging lines indicating linear perspective. Shelby, our professor, created this huge shrine of stuff for us to draw from for this drawing assignment. It was actually overwhelming at first, since there was so much to look at and I was not sure what or where to draw. But using the picture plane cut out, I was able to narrow down the selection and focus on the bike right in front of me. If you see the composition up close, you can clearly tell the bike is incredibly crisp and detailed, and everything else has been blurred out with a huge soft paintbrush. By focusing and keeping detail in one object, this indicates and demonstrates depth by stating the bike is the closest thing in the picture and everything else is in the background.
Super interesting how to make my drawings more visually interesting and adding more depth or 3-D qualities into my 2-D drawings!
