Additionally, the underside of the jaw is visible. The landmarks of the face are compressed or "shortened" towards the hairline. The jaw appears larger and the hairline appears smaller. When the head is tilted up, the jaw is projecting and the hairline is receding into space. The relative proportions of these quadrants are affected by the angle of the head. Let's explore how this principle applies to the head in perspective.įirst, let's review that the face is divided into three equal quadrants from the hairline to the bottom of the chin. Foreshortening refers to how we perceive an object as it recedes into space. In perspective, closer objects will appear larger while farther objects will appear smaller.
