foreshortening technology

Foreshortening is a technique used in art and visual representation to create the illusion that an object or figure extends back into space, making it appear shorter or compressed from the viewer's perspective. This effect is achieved by adjusting proportions and perspective lines so that parts closer to the viewer look larger, while those farther away appear smaller. It helps convey depth and spatial relationships on a flat surface, making scenes more dynamic and realistic. Foreshortening relies on understanding perspective and human anatomy to accurately depict how objects appear when viewed from different angles.
