That's only if the viewer is looking at the center of the object, and the sausage is straight, like here.

The example that is confusing you could be something like this.

It's a bit confusing because the sausage can actually be moving and turning, and the only way to represent it is with the ellipses.

That makes more sense! I just couldn't wrap my head around a shape like your second example. And since there were no examples of sausages like the first one in the exercise page, I thought there really was something wrong with how I was thinking.

Thanks a lot!

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
