Description

This comprehensive guide shows you how to master perspective in a clear and accessible way, from simple box diagrams through to complex scenes. The book begins with a fascinating history of perspective in art, in which the author explores every type from zero to multiple-point, using numerous clear diagrams and drawings. Going beyond buildings and landscapes, he explains how to apply perspective when drawing people, animals, boats, reflections and more, and provides expert advice on drawing curved objects and inclined planes. There's also a useful run-down of common mistakes and an inspirational chapter on moving beyond a rigid application of the rules to draw freely and instinctively.
