Monocular Cues

Texture: It is provided by our proximity to objects. The closer we are to an object the more detail/texture we can see. Likewise, the father away from an object we are the less detail or texture we will see.

Example: If you look at a ball of yarn from around 10 feet away you will see a ball of yarn. As you got closer to the ball you would be able to see the string and how it is wrapped around creating the ball. Then, if you get up close to it, you would be able to see little strings protruding from the main string.

Linear Perspective: All lines leading to the center point on the horizon.

Example: We know that the rails of a railroad never meet up, but when you look straight down them to our eyes it appears that they meet at the horizon. If you went down to where it looked liked the met up you would see that they really did not. It was just how our eyes perceived the image.
