Pop-Out Effect

**Egg Bramhill** · 20 August 2018, 07:12 AM

I have a drawing I created that I'm fairly happy with. It has a ship appearing through a lifebelt.

I'm happy with the fade in of the vessel through the belt but I'd like to get the bow section (not completed drawing yet) pop-out more from the lifebelt.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this please?

Perhaps the foreshortening effect should be stronger, bigger in the front and smaller at the rear.

Like it a lot.

Perhaps use a ship with more perspective and have it extending past the ring.

And more shadow under the ship and under the preserver ring.

Similar to #5 Egg, some shadow under the hull and preserver. BTW I like the image a lot

Thanks for all the assistance. Unfortunately changing the perspective was not an option, far to much redrawing, so I've gone along with AndFar & Stygg's suggestion. I'm pleased with the final result.

I really like that Egg. The increased shadow makes a difference. Perhaps a bit of ocean waves at the bottom of the ship like in sadler's example above and perhaps the addition of some bespoke vector shadows with extra transparency stops to provide a bit of extra depth?

I quickly painted in some just to give the idea I'm sure you could do much better.
