What is foreshortening and how is it comparable to perspective? (in art)
In: Other
Things have a length, like your arm. If you look at an arm held out to the side you see the entire length of the arm.
If someone is pointing at you, you see their hand. The arm may be entirely hidden behind it. Their arm is still the same length, you just don’t see it.
So foreshortening is drawing a thing at the direction and length that you see it based on its position, instead of drawing it at its full length.
