About this title

From the Author

As you'll see from the first few pages, I had great fun creating Draw 3-D! Despite pages that include UFOs, astronomers observing distant asteroids, and giant spiders, Draw 3-D has found itself in college classrooms, though I wrote it with much younger people in mind.  (Or maybe its because of UFOs, astronomers observing distant asteroids, and giant spiders that it found its way into college classrooms? I'll never know!)

If you've never drawn in perspective before, this book will literally change the way you look at the world. And you'll make some pretty awesome drawings in the process!

From School Library Journal

Grade 4 Up-Using easy-to-follow, step-by-step sketches, DuBosque introduces readers to the techniques of three-dimensional drawing. Beginning with such elementary concepts as depth, he progresses logically through shading, reflections, and multiple vanishing points. The supportive tone encourages novices to keep trying and not become discouraged. The drawings of what can go wrong and how to correct these errors are particularly helpful. Sure to be popular with budding artists of all ages, this is a good choice for any collection.
