Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

In order to draw or paint anything successfully, an artist needs a good understanding of perspective, but it is a subject that most people seem to find very confusing and challenging. This guide demystifies this subject and explains it in a clear, accessible way. Before the pencil is put to paper, a series of simple exercises which purely involve "looking", enables readers to discover the basic principles of perspective for themselves; observing and understanding. The guide then builds on these fundamentals, clearly progressing through the chapters covering picture planes, vanishing points, aerial perspective and foreshortening, culminating in how to produce a projection for a large piece of work. Sequences of colour photographs and clearly sketched diagrams accompany the exercises and information, so there is always a visual to back up the points being made.
