Learn how to create a 3D effect on a 2D surface. This video shows a number of techniques in crating the effect of depth in a scene.

It's simply amazing how you know exactly what details to put in to make the scene work. That idea of moving the building in the back so it didn't overlap with the lamp post was the tiny info I need that pushes me to star thinking about how to arrange things differently for an effect.

Thanks Ratus. I think I include detail until I think it’s becoming too cluttered or distracting from a more important visual element. Then I either omit it, move it or simplify it. As the artist, that’s our freedom. 😀
