Artist Uses Leading Lines to Draw Our Eyes into Virtual World Screenshots

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

“1” illustrates how effectively Alexo Aries uses lines in his photos. The road leads our eyes forward to the mountains. The grass, the road, the vehicle, all in a line drawing us in, but not out. Notice how the road fades in the distance before it reaches the frame? Leading lines are a common tool to direct our eyes and Aries photostream is full of great examples. 

Lines ahead....

The lines are everything in “ì'ì.” The road, the sidewalk and curbs and the vertical and horizontal lines of the building. I love the splashes of red lighting as well. 

The coast provides the lines that pull our eyes in “[+ ].” The way it reflects the sky, it almost feels as though light forms the line. 

If you want to study how effective lines can be, spend some time browsing Alexo Aries’ stream. It’s a great exploration of landscape and Second Life (with SLURLS) and of the power of lines.

This is a great artistic technique I tend to forget about (I'm an amateur trying to learn) and Alexo Aries makes excellent use of it. I'll defiantly be following his stream.
