  2. Curvilinear perspective - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_perspective

    Curvilinear barrel distortion Curvilinear pincushion distortion. Curvilinear perspective, also five-point perspective, is a graphical projection used to draw 3D objects on 2D surfaces, for which (straight) lines on the 3D object are projected to curves on the 2D surface that are typically not straight (hence the qualifier "curvilinear" [citation needed]).

  3. Curve sketching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_sketching

    Specifically, draw a diagonal line connecting two points on the diagram so that every other point is either on or to the right and above it. There is at least one such line if the curve passes through the origin. Let the equation of the line be qα+pβ=r. Suppose the curve is approximated by y=Cx p/q near the origin.

  4. Perspective (graphical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_(graphical)

    Linear or point-projection perspective (from Latin perspicere 'to see through') is one of two types of graphical projection perspective in the graphic arts; the other is parallel projection. [ citation needed ] [ dubious – discuss ] Linear perspective is an approximate representation, generally on a flat surface, of an image as it is seen by ...

  5. Multiview orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiview_orthographic...

    An example of a multiview orthographic drawing from a US Patent (1913), showing two views of the same object. Third angle projection is used. In third-angle projection , the object is conceptually located in quadrant III, i.e. it is positioned below and behind the viewing planes, the planes are transparent , and each view is pulled onto the ...

  6. Sketch (drawing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketch_(drawing)

    A sketch (ultimately from Greek σχέδιος – schedios, "done extempore" [1] [2] [3]) is a rapidly executed freehand drawing that is not usually intended as a finished work. [4] A sketch may serve a number of purposes: it might record something that the artist sees, it might record or develop an idea for later use or it might be used as a ...

    Contour drawing – Chiaroscuro – using strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects such as the human body. Gesture Drawing - loose drawing or sketching with the wrists moving, to create a sense of naturalism of the line or shape, as opposed to geometric or mechanical drawing ...

  8. Character sketch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_sketch

    Character sketches are usually identified by irony, humor, exaggeration, and satire. The term originated in portraiture, where the character sketch is a common academic exercise. The artist performing a character sketch attempts to capture an expression or gesture that goes beyond coincident actions and gets to the essence of the individual.

  9. Line drawing algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_drawing_algorithm

    Two rasterized lines. The colored pixels are shown as circles. Above: monochrome screening; below: Gupta-Sproull anti-aliasing; the ideal line is considered here as a surface. In computer graphics, a line drawing algorithm is an algorithm for approximating a line segment on discrete graphical media, such as pixel-based displays and printers.
