With full knowledge of how to create realistic 2-dimensional drawings, an artist soon gains confidence that they can create lifelike paintings...

* Your picture appears to have depth and substance even though it has been created on a flat surface

* Your portrait painting looks as if the subject could leap from the canvas to shake your hand

However, for an art beginner, perspective drawing can be a mystery.
