Late in homework for a month... gathered lots of good pic and I picked a few artists that I was amazed by, especially Moebius's work, excessive usage in cross-contour in his line work with so much precision and interesting design, to do the assignment. I picked Moebius, Oda, Asteroid_ill and choocoshi3's pieces that are great in composition to show the vibe/tell the story and perspective related. Learnt a lot from them. and Sorry Marshall.

Makoto Shinkai: D = 2 = The staircase railings get smaller as they go down. C = 2 = There is a bit with the staircase railing and some of the buildings at the back F = 2 = The staircase railing at the bottom and at the side is a bit foreshortened. O = 1 = Mitsuha standing in front of the staircase railing. A = 5 = Since they are on the steep side of the hill, and the bottom of the hill has the atmospheric blur, it makes Mitsuha stand out more. Franklin Booth: D = 5 = The hay bales and trees get smaller as they are further away C = 5 = The hay bales that are along the same row almost create converging lines F = 1 = The hay bales foreshorten a bit from this point of view O = 5 = The hay bales overlapping other hay bales. The hay bale overlapping the farmer emphasizes that the bales of hay are bigger than people. A = 1 = There's a bit of atmosphere. Or rather the things that are further away have less detail on them. Toshi Yoshida: D = 2 = The people and windows get smaller as they are further away. C = 5 = The whole alley and the building elements converges F = 0 = The cylindrical lanterns have some foreshortening O = 3 = The people and the store signs overlap each other. It creates the feeling of busyness A = 4 = The building at the back is a bit faded out into lighter colours which is interesting since the alley in front has darker colours.

Moebius: Overlap: very clear overlap with the buildings, one building is in front of another. Convergence: Theres a lot of elements converging to different points. The buildings and the character at the front towards one, the aircrafts and bridges all to their own converging point. Dimunition: windows, aircrafts and humans are all smaller the further away. Foreshortening: Everywhere, but most noticeable on the buildings. The sides of the buildings are narrower and have narrower windows than the planes that are facing us, and also get even narrower the further away they go. Atmosphere: it’s subtle, but it seems the colors have a slight darker value the further away. It’s a night scene. Akira: Overlap: the buildings overlap each other. Convergence: Everything in the image goes to a single converging point. You get really sucked in as a result. Diminution: the motorcyclists get smaller further away. Foreshortening: Same as moebius, the building side planes and windows are narrower than planes facing towards us. The motorcyclists also get more squished at the front than in the back, you can clearlky see the difference in size and narrowness of the front and back wheels. Atmosphere: The figures disappear in a sort of white mist. The buildings in the back reflect the colors of the sky more intensely, making them almost part of it. Junji ito: Overlap: The characters at the front stand in front a bush, which stands in front of the labyrinth. Convergence: You can draw a rectangle around the labyritnth and find that the lines will converge. You can also subtly see it in the hedges witch have hatches that, if you were to lengthen them, would also roughly follow convergence towards the middle. Diminution: The characters are very big in the front compared to everything in the background. But we know from context and other perspective clues that the labyrinth is supposed to be much bigger. Foreshortening: the backhalf of the labyrinth seems shorter than the front half. Atmosphere: the furthest part of the labyrinth has less hatches and thus reads lighter. Vermeer: Overlap: the chair and the table overlap each other, the table overlaps the man, the woman overlaps the man, the window is open and overlaps the window frame and part of the wall. Convergence: The table, bench and woman on the chair converge to a point straight ahead front. The chair, window and guitar are on another converging point further to the side. Foreshortening: Everything that follows convergence naturally also foreshortens. Mosyt noticeable on the woman, the table and the guitar. Atmosphere: The floor and wall get lighter the further away from us.

1. Little Birdies by Yuliya Litvinova 2. Interrogation by Franco Spagnolo I've been looking all over for the artist who drew the Skull one :( but i can't find it. If anybody knows please comment!

I know we’re getting to this, but since the line systems already have been mentioned in Assignment - 5 Tricks to Make Your Drawings Look 3D Uo/down - left/right and forward/back.. Sometimes I get confused on whats depth (forward/back) and whats left/right..?

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 have to study Jeff Smith for my art job, so, might as well combine that assignment with this one! Image 1: Diminution: 4, Characters clearly different depths and sizes from each other. Convergence: 1 Foreshortening: 1 Overlap: 2, ground plane helps exaggerate the distance between foreground and middle-distance characters Atmosphere: 2, the trees on the right fade into blackness, as does the ground plane Image 2: Diminution: 3, cart is proportionally smaller than it would be if it was not affected by diminution. Convergence: 5, cart displays strong 1 point perspective, as well as the floor plane Foreshortening: 5, cart is in a very foreshortened state Overlap: 5, characters in front of the door, overlapping the cart, and the sloping ground plane Atmosphere: 1 Image 3: Diminution: 2, a little bit with the character sizes Convergence: 1 Foreshortening: 1 Overlap: 2 tiny bit with the branch at the bottom of the panel Atmosphere: 4, the way the trees and foliage fades into white in the background Image 4: Diminution: 2, the puddles on the path Convergence: 2, Path ground planes slightly converging back in space. Foreshortening: 1 Overlap: 2, rocks and branches Atmosphere: 5, the "grumping" figure in the distance emerging from the solid black. And he manages to accomplish all this with only black and white at his disposal! So amazing.

Rating And Analysis Kenneth Anderson: (https://pin.it/1M692vOJr) Diminution: 2-3 (the ghost at the top gets progressively bigger than the characters as they move down the stairs) Convergence: 3 (there are some converging lines on the stairs and in the framing of the house as well as the checkered tiles and the railing) Foreshortening: 3 (the viewer is looking down at the scene at an interesting angle, distorting the characters and setting) Overlap: 3 (the characters are overlapping each other and they are overlapped by , or overlap the objects they are holding) Atmosphere: 1-2 (there is a little bit of fading in colour as you move into the background) Soyun Park: (https://www.behance.net/gallery/52184619/The-Nutcracker) Diminution: 4 (objects and pieces of furniture shrink significantly moving back into the picture) Convergence: 3 (a good amount of converging lines in this image like the steps, tabletops and shelves for example) Foreshortening: 3 (there are some foreshortened objects and some elements of furniture angled away in different directions from the viewer) Overlap: 5 (there is a huge amount of overlap in this image from the objects on the tables, the furniture, beams, steps, drapery etc.) Atmosphere: 2 (not much but there are some differences in the line weight in the foreground and background) Soyun Park: (https://www.behance.net/gallery/52184619/The-Nutcracker) Diminution: 4 (buildings and mountain peaks get smaller as they move back in the scene, characters especially get smaller) Convergence: 2 (there are converging lines on the buildings however some of the lines on the left buildings aren’t really parallel but seem to curve. Foreshortening: 1-2 (there are a few objects like the shop flags and a few elements on the buildings) Overlap: 3-4 (the left buildings, mountains, and people all overlap quite a bit. Atmosphere: 3 (as you move back into the scene the colours are more faded and objects almost start to “blend” together a little bit) Sheryl Yap: (https://www.behance.net/gallery/133931813/Nimbos-Hickory-Dock-%28Complete-art%29) Diminution: 3 (there are a lot of clocks on the wall that get smaller as they move further into the scene. The difference in size to the main character and the two characters in the back is also significant) Convergence: 3 or 4 (a lot of the floor planks converge as well as the angles of the furniture on the right wall) Foreshortening: 3 or 4 (again the objects on the right wall are all angled) Overlap: 2-3 (there is some overlap of the furniture and characters) Atmosphere: 2 or 3 (the scene loses some vibrancy as it moves further away. The top of the canvas to the right side have a sort of vignette effect) KatiStarSoul Art: (https://pin.it/69jlFeU2f) Diminution: 4 (the objects in the front, the characters and buildings, are all staggered in size and get smaller the further they go in the image) Convergence: 3-4 (there are a lot of converging lines in the buildings, structures and the chains) Foreshortening: 3 or 4 (there are a lot of objects turning away from the viewer in some of the circular structures, the buildings and the chains. The buildings closest to the viewer are very angled) Overlap: 4 (there is quite a bit of overlap in the buildings, structures, floating objects, chains and characters Atmosphere: 4 (the background gets significantly faded) Mengxuan Li: (https://pin.it/2bPqX3q1m) Diminution: 4 (there is a lot of this effect in the image with the characters, objects and buildings. The cat in the foreground is a lot bigger than the buildings in the background. Convergence: 2 (I don’t think there’s a lot of convergence in this image. There is some in the foreground and a bit in the mid-ground but the background is densely packed with a variety of edges in different directions making it hard to see many converging lines) Foreshortening: 2 (there is a bit of foreshortening in the storefronts in the foreground and midground. There is also some foreshortening in the background but it’s a little harder to tell as the edges get less distinct. Overlap: 4 (highly used, the buildings and objects start to jumble together in the mid and background) Atmosphere: 3 or 4 (the colours get significantly less vibrant and objects start to lose clarity. JaeCheol Park: (https://pin.it/4UrntUiA9) Diminution: 3 (the buildings and balconies get progressively smaller moving back) Convergence: 5 (this image is essentially made up entirely of converging lines) Foreshortening: 3 (the building fronts are all angled towards the vanishing points) Overlap: 5 (an endless amount of building fronts and balconies overlap each other) Atmosphere: 4 (the furthest part of the image loses a lot of value. Especially in the top and bottom centre of the image in-between the buildings. The line weight on the buildings is decreased moving up vertically, however the lines jumble together in the back centre of the image making the value darker than the buildings just noted) Armand Serrano: (https://pin.it/5vrCVTBt2) Diminution: 3 or 4 (there are some bigger objects in the foreground, such as the hooks, ropes and other objects that are bigger than some of the elements and characters in the mid and background) Convergence: 3 (there is some convergence in the buildings, balconies, framing, windows and on the docks. Foreshortening: (some foreshortening on the dock, the boat, in some of the circular elements, as well as some of the curved structures and architectural details) Overlap: 3 or 4 (there are a lot of elements overlapping in this image such as the hooks, ropes, characters, architectural details and other objects) Atmosphere: 2 (the image slightly fades up the right side, and down the waterway to the left affecting the buildings and characters)

Treehouse of Horror V Bart is overlapped in front of Principle Skinner telling us that Bart is closer to the viewer. Bart is also drawn larger than he typically would be compared to Skinner, which makes him appear closer despite being smaller than Skinner. Diminution - 5 Convergence - 3 the horizontal lines appear ton converge but I can't tell if they line up to a vanishing point Foreshortening - 4 Overlap - 5 Atmospheric - 1 Their doesn't seem like there is any to me Herbert James Draper The lower bodies figures further from us a drenched in a layer of fog Diminution - 5 Convergence - 2 Foreshortening - 4 Overlap - 5 Atmosphere - 5 Daredevil Matt is covered in the dark shadows of the room and the ropes in the background are darker than the ones in the foreground. The rope and top of the canvas diminish and converge as they move away from us. There is also more shadow on Matt's head and shoulders than his torso the front and edge of the canvas is overlapping with the fare post and bottom rope; both of thees suggest we are looking up at Matt. Diminution - 5 Convergence - 5 Foreshortening - 2 Matt's pose is square so the foreshortening doesn't feel to apparent, but their still is some due to us looking up at him Overlap - 5 Atmospheric - 3 it is there, but it doesn't feel consistent Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto Caravaggio The limbs of the figures are foreshortened. The Dog overlaps with the legs of the man and sphere in the canter overlaps with the hand of the top figure. Diminution - 3 Convergence - 4 Foreshortening - 5 Overlap - 5 Atmospheric - 2 Treehouse of Horror VI The staircase and Willie's tongue diminish and converge towards Grounds Keeper Willie and the chalk board diminishes and converges to the sky. Diminution - 5 Convergence - 5 Foreshortening - 4 Overlap - 4 Atmosphere - 1

The 1st is an example of foreshortening. The 2nd is an example of convergence. The 3rd is an example of diminution. The 4th is an example of overlap. The 5th is an example of Atmosphere.

Miura (Berserk, 1989-2021) Diminution 4/5 Convergence 4/5 Foreshortening 4/5(look at that painting on the wall) Overlap 3/5 Atmosphere 1/5 He's using all these tricks except atmosphere to give a sense of the size of this space filled with people Escher (The Well 1946) Diminution 3/5 Convergence 5/5 Foreshortening 2/5 Overlap 4/5 Atmosphere 1/5 So many lines all pointing convergently up give an immense sense of momentum. Otomo (Akira 1982-1990) Diminution 4/5 Convergence 3/5 Foreshortening 1/5 Overlap 2/5 Atmosphere 2/5 Some off these techniques are being used but it may not be the best to study from. Caillebotte (Paris Street, Rainy Day, 1877) Diminution 4/5 Convergence 3/5 Foreshortening 1/5 Overlap 2/5 Atmosphere 4/5 The atmospheric perspective is what sells this as a rainy day. Caillebotte (The Europe Bridge, 1876) Diminution 4/5 Convergence 3/5 Foreshortening 2/5 Overlap 3/5 Atmosphere 2/5 The steel beams are mesmerizing

I am struggling to understand what makes Foreshortening a separate technique. If I look at a foreshortened arm, I see Diminution, Convergence and possibly some Overlap. It is just like looking at a road that goes away into the distance. An unforeshortened road would be one seen from a bird's eye view. So what am I missing about foreshortening?

Hey there every one! Today I was looking at some of my old sketches from age 18 and so on, I gave all of them a look of DCFOA and picked some of them to share whit you. back then I had the feeling of letting all my emotion drain on the paper and it was the beginning of my adventure in my within universe. after this analyzation, it has been cleared to me that why some of my sketches stood out more to me after reorganization back in the drawing stages. Let me know if my ratting was fair. Thank you.

I couldn't make the critique video (holidays are hard to plan around), but here's my submission: I chose two from my album to gander through, first is by Mat Rockeffeller: Diminution: 2/5 Convergence: 0/5 Foreshortening: 3/5 (This one is a little harder because this image is almost fish eyed to represent the situation) Overlap: 4/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 A bit about this one from my perspective as stated in the foreshortened score, this image is fish eyed as if the viewer is a fish in the environment. The little hidden fish here and there while distracting from the clearly massive being holding the house up is very atmospheric! (Or...maybe i'm wrong?) Second piece is from Donato Giancola: Diminution: 0/5 (This one was difficult to sus out) Convergence: 0/5 (Also hard to sus, the buildings are stock straight) Foreshortening: 4/5 (We are the bird!) Overlap: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 This one seemed poignant on the environment to be atmospheric! It almost feels heavy in the mountains and strong lines. This one is all space babyyyyyy. I could very well be wrong on all of these haha!

It was a cop out to not submit. I found that it took time to go slowly and that I kept my eye visualizing the endpoint.

Mark Tedin Foreshortening 2 Diminution 4 Overlap 3 Atmosphere 5 Convergence 1 Todd McFarlane Foreshortening 5 Diminution 3 Overlap 4 Atmosphere 1 Convergence 3 Moebius Foreshortening 2 Diminution 5 Overlap 3 Atmosphere 1 Convergence 4 Donato Foreshortening 3 Diminution 4 Overlap 3 Atmosphere 3 Convergence 3 Quarrie Foreshortening 4 Diminution 5 Overlap 2 Atmosphere 2 Convergence 3 Such a wide range of techniques applied. I found it interesting that Donato’s was the most balanced, it definitely comes a cross as the slickest piece along the collection. The atmosphere in Tedin’s piece is stunning, I have no idea how to study making those forms in perspective! finally caught up. Sad I’m late for this submission but I’ll be there for the next!

A little late but I work seasonally with plants so I'll be more on time as winter sets in and we can finally breath a bit. I need to get a little better at collecting images I appreciate instead of just fawning over them in passing! 1. Moebius - Artwork from Jodorowsky's unmade Dune adaptation The first image is from the mighty Moebius. It's pretty jam-packed with information and, at least to my fairly untrained eye, uses the depth techniques very effectively to organize the work. Diminution - 4/5 - There are some inconsistencies maybe? Also it's not entirely clear whether some of the ships in the sky are smaller due to distance or size. Convergence - 5/5 - Moebius seems to be really good at this. Foreshortening - 5/5 - Gives a great sense of heft to the ship in the sky, while keeping it from dominating that space. Overlap - 4/5 - I feel the image could have used overlap a bit more to inform where ships are in relation to each other in the sky but maybe that would have made things in that spot a little too busy. Atmosphere - 3.5/5 - One thing I've noticed in Moebius works is that he often doesn't rely on this that much in terms of establishing depth. A lot of the furthest details are quite crisp and the detail is still pretty evident. I think this works really well for his work as a lot of the interest in what he does lies in the fantastical worlds he draws you into and oftentimes the less obscured the details of his worlds are, the better. 2. Yoshida Toshi - Half Moon Bridge A shift in gears from the expansive busy setting of Moebius to a more placid and cozy setting. I love this image and it uses several of the techniques in question to establish a great sense of where we are viewing this scene from. Diminution - 3/5 - I think this is the technique relied on least to establish scale/depth. Outside of the people in the background, not much can be compared, I don't think. Even the structures are obscured quite a bit and they aren't necessarily of the same size, so that doesn't tell us much. Convergence - 5/5 - I busted out my trusty ruler and from what I could tell, the lines that should be parallel do indeed converge at a common vanishing point. I'm sure I could have measured this more precisely though. Foreshortening- 4/5 - A few spots where I can see foreshortening contributing significantly to establishing depth is on the underside of the bridge, along the wall/path on the left side, and the white building on the right side. These help establish the depth of those areas. Overlap - 5/5 - With the relatively small size of this piece, overlap is used extremely well to establish where in the image things lie. The usage of plants especially helps establish this, to my eye. Atmosphere - 3.5/5 - Not a huge amount of depth established with this but it's done well. The wisteria in the foreground has the most detail and the folks in the building in the background are quite obscured. There is very change in lighting outside of the people in the background. 3. Brian Froud - The Mountain This is maybe not the best image for this study but I though I would give it a shot. I love Froud and others like him. I'm very much looking forward to learning how to apply our perspective techniques to more naturalistic works. Diminution 4/5 - There is less heft on the elements of the "mountain" as you continue around the hat and towards the background. Convergence - N/A - There's no parallel lines? How do we deal with this when creating something entirely organic in shape. I guess this is what I'm here to learn :) Foreshortening - 5/5 - Foreshortening of the "hat" (and nose) are very important for establishing the depth of what we're looking at. Overlap - 3/5 - While it is important and well done for relaying where object/elements are in the piece, it's not always clear. At the very top of the mountain there are a couple small plants. It's not really clear which is in front of the other. Same with the direction of the large tree at the base of the stone. With an image like this, it isn't hugely important that everything is perfectly organized and the composition doesn't suffer from it. Atmosphere - 5/5 - I think this uses atmosphere quite well to help keep you focused on the most important aspects of the piece. The face and most interesting features of the plants and stones, being closer to us, are by far the clearest while the roots and smaller plants as you look towards the back and side of the hat fade into the background of our attention.
