Sorry I don't understand this! I am not arguing I am just trying to have my ignorance explained.
If the tracks in the image are diagonal from background left to foreground right how can the sleepers be horizantal??
Also doesn't the angle they appear depend on the angle of elavation.
Surely they need to appear at the correct angle in relation to tracks?? and parallel to each other.
Please go easy on me I am not an artist in any way shape or form, I would just like some clarification. All I have to base my questions on are fleeting memories of being taught perspective at school (some 20 yrs ago)
