Amy Morris - Standing in the Shoes - Leonardo Da Vinci

This assignment used different aspects of linear perspective including aerial perspective, objects in the foreground and background and a vanishing point. To show aerial perspective some shading had to be done to the sketch in order to show the objects were not flat. Also more detail was given to the objects that were in the foreground than those in the background.

Putting objects in the foreground was easiest because they were up close so size was not an issue there. However the objects in the background were harder to draw because they were further away and depth perception was not as clear. This part of the sketch was more likely to be estimates than objects being drawn to scale. These had to be drawn as seen in the view.

This assignment was mainly difficult because of the choice of vanishing point(s). If the vanishing point was not chosen correctly then the sketch would not look balanced. This was hardest because the orthogonal lines coming from this point had to seen clearly.
