Synopsis

This book teaches freehand perspective drawing, a method that enables artists to represent the appearance of objects in space with line, proportion, and vanishing point accuracy. Freehand perspective drawing is often seen in illustrations, architecture and interior design as well as in film animation. The author presents perspective drawing as both a practical skill and a means to refine artistic appreciation of the world around us. Using the author's exercises and clear explanations, readers will learn to observe, measure, and transfer onto paper the spatial relationships of the world, whether an object is in motion or at rest. Through grounded examples, the author provides a context to consider perspective throughout art history. This book is the starting point for anyone aspiring to elevate their artistic practice with a solid grasp of the perspectives observed and employed by masters throughout history.
