Foreshortening is a drawing technique that makes an object look shorter than it really is, by changing the proportions of the object parts that are closer to the viewer are drawn larger, and parts that are farther away are drawn smaller. This creates the illusion of depth on a flat surface, which shows the depth or that it’s pointing toward the viewer.

Foreshortening is an art technique that makes objects look shorter so they appear to go back into space, creating depth and realism.
