Synopsis

This book provides a detailed guide to representing three-dimensional objects on a flat surface. It is an invaluable resource for artists and art students, guiding them through the process of accurately capturing the apparent forms of objects as they appear to the human eye. Beginning with basic principles of geometry, including lines, surfaces, and volumes, the book systematically progresses to more complex topics such as the measurement and analysis of angles, the effects of light and shade, and the representation of spheres, cones, and other curved surfaces. Through clear explanations and numerous illustrations, the author demonstrates how to break down complex objects into simpler forms, enabling readers to understand and execute accurate drawings. This book is not only a practical guide but also explores the theoretical foundations of perspective and object representation, providing a deeper understanding of the underlying principles that govern the visual perception of three-dimensional space. By mastering the techniques and concepts presented in this book, artists can develop the skills necessary to create realistic and compelling drawings of the world around them.
