Synopsis
Perspective creates a sense of space, depth, and the third dimension within the limitations of the flat drawing surface. This unusually comprehensive handbook integrates extensive text with hundreds of labeled drawings and diagrams; each page covers a fundamental principle and includes relevant constructions. All aspects of perspective drawing are discussed, from diminution, foreshortening and convergence to distortion, measurement, and shade and shadow effects. Essential concepts such as horizon line, vanishing point, cone of vision, and picture plane are explained theoretically and illustrated in practical contexts, using both mechanical and freehand sketching techniques. With its step-by-step presentation of professional working methods and practices, Perspective Drawing Handbook is an essential text and reference for fine and commercial artists, architects, engineers, and interior and industrial designers.

From the Back Cover
This handy guide provides numerous insights and shortcuts to drawing and sketching effectively. Describing mandatory skills for beginning and advanced students, the text covers such subjects as diminution, foreshortening, convergence, shade and shadow, and other visual principles of perspective drawing.
Accompanying a concise and thoughtfully written text are more than 150 simply drawn illustrations that depict a sense of space and depth, demonstrate vanishing points and eye level, and explain such concepts as appearance versus reality; perspective distortion; determining heights, depths, and widths; and the use of circles, cylinders, and cones.
Artists, architects, designers, and engineers will find this book invaluable in creating works with convincing perspective.
