35 - Scale Confusion

Scale confusion deliberately changes the natural scale of something in an artwork to emphasize the important or focal spots of the work.


This cover from the comic book X-men shows an example of scale confusion. The main focal point is the woman in green in the middle. To emphasize her, the artist enlarged her to where she was much larger than the unconscious figures at her feet.
