A depth in drawing refers to the concept of making it look more dimensional and giving it a look of life. A lack of depth in drawing means it will be less than lifelike.

Some simple methods to create an illusion of depth in drawing are given below.

Volume: Drawing 3D objects shows more volume and indicates depth.

Size: Draw smaller objects farther away to create more depth in a painting.

Overlap: Draw images as one overlap over others to create more depth.

Position: Draw images as base positioned higher on the surface.

Edges: Draw foreground images with hard edges to give more focus. Draw background images with soft edges to look more blurry.

Perspective: Draw images using linear perspective to give depth realistically.

Cast shadow: Draw cast shadows whenever necessary and adjust direction to the opposite side of a light source.

Horizon: Divide your drawing into the ground and sky by any medium like horizon line will give more depth.

Follow these simple methods and improve your drawing skills.

Drawing Torso is one of the hardest things when it comes to drawing a person. One thing you should keep in mind is to avoid drawing a balloon torso.

Most of the artists end up thinking that the figure of a person is symmetrical on all sides when it is actually not. Even the biggest artists fall into this trap when they are drawing a heavy and muscular body.

To avoid this mind set, practice by drawing from the skeleton outwards. This can get you an idea on how you should draw the torso.
