Beautiful examples of inverse perspective can be found in Chinese, Japanese, and Indian artworks, as well as Byzantine. Here are a few by adventurous artists who responded to the challenge:
Because Chinese Emperors wore yellow. What??? Pencils are yellow because the emperor wore yellow. Long long ago in China, a complicated system of social rank began to develop, and it developed with color codes.
