What's in Premium?

Learn how eye level and proximity affect perspective drawing with a model cathedral. We'll explore:

  • Eye Level: How viewing from above or below the horizon changes what you see.
  • Proximity: How being close or far from the subject alters perspective.

By observing the cathedral from different distances and heights, you'll see:

  • From Afar: Minimal distortion; lines appear parallel, resembling an orthographic view.
  • Up Close: Noticeable distortion; vertical lines converge, and angles become dramatic.
  • Looking Down: From a high eye level, proximity increases distortion and spreads out angles.

This lesson demonstrates the impact of proximity on perspective, preparing you for upcoming topics like the picture plane.
