Perspective Course - Depth Techniques Destiny 2 concept art - Jesse van Dijk Diminution: 5. The structures are repeated and you can see the same structures smaller. Convergence: 2. From the buildings it's not so obvious because there are no clear parallel lines, but the ice seems to imply the convergence (also the ships, but a guess they are deceiving). Foreshortening: 3. The tube structure of the ground buildings have foreshortening, but I don't think that's what gives the feeling of scale of the whole image. Overlap: 5. The buildings in from of the ice are really effective in conveying the scale. Also the overlap with Jupiter Atmosphere: 4. This is like an extra way conveying the distance of the ice to represent the scale. El incendio de noche - Francisco Goya Diminution: 2. There is diminution, but not that much Convergence: 1. No parallel lines here Foreshortening: 1. I don't see any foreshortening Overlap: 5. There is a lot of overlap, and with the above ones making it seem that they are not very far, it communicates a very claustrophobic scene. Atmosphere: 5. Through light and smoke, we only get to see the people close by. Car at night from: Tales from the Loop - Simon Stålenhag Diminution: 5. Convergence: 1 Foreshortening: 1 Overlap: 4. Atmosphere: 5 In this one, everything could seem "flat". But from the overlap with the house, and the atmosphere implying that the ships are above the houses in the background, you can "feel" the size of the ships. Snowy image from: Tales from the Loop - Simon Stålenhag Diminution: 3. Both the trees and the birds are small. There is no reference about how big they are so it's not a strong effect Convergence: 2. The road seems to get smaller, but it is not strong at all Foreshortening: 1 Overlap: 5. The snow covers both the trees on the left and a bit of the sphere on the right Atmosphere: 1. There is no atmospheric effect here. This image looks kind of flat and maybe is not a great example of perspective now that I got to analyse it. Kids and robot from: Tales from the Loop - Simon Stålenhag Diminution: 5. The car is something that we can compare with the kids. So it gives information about the scale. Also the plants Convergence: 3. The police car has parallel lines that converge, but it is not very important visually Foreshortening: 1. One could argue with the hand of the kid. But there's really not that much foreshortening Overlap: 2. There is overlap mostly in the plants Atmosphere: 2. There's distortion in the trees like they are out of focus, but not much

I started with very large circles instead of the small ones. I have to change that order for the next times.

These take a lot of time! So I created a distilled and small one on the left. I tried to create the smallest one I could while keeping the grid and the cubes.

I love the sense of scale conveyed by "sandwiching" familiar elements with surrealist or fantastic things, like sci-fi concept art. Here are some examples by Jesse van Dijk (Destiny 2) and Simon Stålenhag (Tales from the Loop). I also really like the designs of Goya, even though I'm not a fan of his drawings (faces, bodies, etc), his design and use of light makes it one of my favorite painters. I'm also interested in photography, so understanding lens focal length and its relationship with composition sounds really interesting. As for the big picture goals: * Be able to play with scale in believable spaces * Being able to think about focal length in my compositions more naturally. Both in drawing and photography
