Until the painters discovered the perspective technique, they used height and width to reflect the distance of objects to each other. Just like the pictures of the Ancient Egypt period. However, after the perspective was used, the technique of giving depth to the pictures changed. An example of this is drawing the rails as they merge at one point to show that the rails are going on and on. Other components that provide depth in painting are light and shadow. If the picture has a light source, we realize that darker objects are further away from light.
Painters make the pictures look as if they are real, using the games of light and shadow with perspective. However, the surface on which it is painted is two-dimensional. In other words, the three-dimensional world is transferred on two-dimensional paper, and while doing this, an optical illusion is created. The light, shadow and perspective used in the picture are fixed. In other words, when the painter draws someone looking directly across, you view the person in the picture as if you are facing it, and you think that he is looking at you. However, when you try the same thing with a real person, this illusion in the picture does not happen. For example, ask a friend to stay still and look across. Meanwhile, look at his eyes by constantly changing your position. The situation in the picture is not happening, right? The reason for this is that you are looking at a three-dimensional image and unlike the stability in the picture, the perspective, light and shadow change as you change your position.
