What are the two most characteristic features of a perspective drawing?
A. Objects appear larger as their distance from the observer increases; Foreshortening: the size of an object's dimensions along the line of sight is relatively longer than the dimensions across the line of sight.

C. Objects appear the same size regardless of distance; No foreshortening occurs.
D. Objects appear smaller as their distance from the observer increases; Foreshortening: the size of an object's dimensions along the line of sight is relatively longer than the dimensions across the line of sight.
