>>6017188Not magic really, and I do practice and draw from observation. I'll try to explain.
I remember some photography article explaining why a camera could never match what you see with your eyes. Because unlike the camera, your brain doesn't see a picture but a set of ideas. It uses two eyes, relies on continuous scanning with extremely narrow attention window, and reconstructs the scene with contradicting properties which cannot be simultaneously true in a 2D picture:
- the perceived perspective is heavily nonlinear with far away objects looking closer than they would be with any physical lens of the same fov/focal distance
- the perceived scene is not distorted and all straight lines are seen as straight
- your distance estimation works properly, mostly a result of binocular vision but also because of your mind lying to you
etc etc etc
What I probably want is some more insight on perception effects of that kind. I'm sure there's some advice or even more formalized theory, just like there is for color relationships.
