Mugg, have you learned perspective? Perspective? What’s that? According to my pocket dictionary: [Perspective] The art of depicting objects the way they appear on flat and curved surfaces, in painting for instance. The effect that conveys a sense of distance based on how objects appear. Also, a picture that gives the illusion of a scene from nature.
