Discuss how you have incorporated the seven techniques for showing the illusion.

An incorporated the seven techniques for showing the illusion are linear perspective,

orthogonal, overlapping, shading using value, size variation, aerial or atmosphere

perspective, and vertical placement. Using linear perspective, I can draw the horizontal

lines divided up and down. I used vanishing point in the middle of this line. Using this

point, I used the apartments on the middle of the left side. This vanishing point on the

horizontal line that I drew on the little upper middle of the sketch paper is the kind of a

one point. For orthogonal technique, I made 2 points perspective drawing. I made 2 wings

on the each upper side of the sketch paper to make points. I used these 2 points while

drawing city scape drawing. If you draw using this skill, you may draw the city like real city.

Both points that I made the wings on the each side of the pad help you draw three-

dimensional city scape drawing. I also used the overlapping technique. This technique

helps me to draw the buildings which are in different space in the city. You can see I drew

the building only some part, or only upper side of the building. It looked like covering one

the other. Most in every city, there are many different size building. To draw different size

of the building, I used size variation technique. Some buildings are small, but some

buildings are tall and big. And, when buildings go farther out, I also drew the building

smaller than in the building which are in the middle of the city. I used the aerial perspective

technique when I drew the upper side of the city scape drawing. To make my drawing

looks like three-dimensional drawing, I used the shading technique. According to the

location of the sun, there may get shadows. In my city scape drawing, I chose the upper

left side on the pad. And I drew darker where sun light doesn’t shine. I also used the

vertical placement to draw different lines. These seven techniques are used for showing

the illusion of the drawing.
