foreshortening

уменьшение видимой длины линии в перспективе

Examples from texts

It's a French trick, and you wouldn't understand; but it's got at by slewing round the head a trifle, and a tiny, tiny foreshortening of one side of the face from the angle of the chin to the top of the left ear.
Эта французская уловка, которой ты не поймешь, если тебе не объяснить. Это достигается тем, что голова слегка откинута или запрокинута, и одна сторона лица чуточку, самую чуточку, укорочена от подбородка до верхнего края левого уха.

There it was again: somebody calling her Shiv, trying for a kind of intimacy they thought the foreshortening would bring.
Вот опять: ее называют Шив, считая, что такое сокращение внесет нотку интимности.

Foreshortening of that arm, capital!
Например, ракурс, в котором подана эта рука, - блестяще!..

You foreshorten as though you never used the model, and you've caught Kami's pasty way of dealing with flesh in shadow.
Ты всюду даешь ракурс, как будто ты никогда не писала с модели, и, кроме того, ты усвоила себе тяжеловатую манеру Ками — писать тело, точно тесто, в тени, а не на свету.

Green sat at the window, perfectly still, watching as the lamp of heaven followed its foreshortened winter route.
Грин сидел у окна, не шевелился, смотрел, как светило проходит свой сокращенный зимний маршрут.

In church, in the gallery, with his face foreshortened, he had been effective in a way, but this was different.
В церкви, на хорах, он снизу тоже казался недурен, но это было совсем другое.

The happenings of the last few months, foreshortened in perspective, seemed to have almost a pantomimic rapidity.
События последних нескольких месяцев пронеслись в его памяти молниеносно, как пантомима.

I remember I went out of my way to foreshorten for sheer delight of doing it, and I foreshortened damnably, but for all that it's the best thing I've ever done; and now I suppose the ship's broken up or gone down.
Я прибегал к нелепым ракурсам из одного озорства, но при всем том это, несомненно, лучшая вещь из всего, что я написал... А теперь это судно, может быть, пошло на слом или же пошло ко дну вместе с моей картиной...
