Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Aimed at absolute beginners, this essential guide provides the technical tricks of the trade—the “building blocks”—needed to portray structures from country churches to city skylines. All it takes is 10 easy and fully illustrated lessons to master linear perspective, proportion, and composition, and to capture the texture of materials such as brick, stone, concrete, wood, glass, and steel. Draw a simple weathered wooden bungalow using graphite pencil. An old-fashioned church, with corner lines that converge at 2 vanishing points and different elevations, makes the perfect subject for illustrating 2-point perspective. Bring color into the picture in an image of a brightly painted Italian fishing cottage. Other demonstrations focus on architectural details, combining tools and techniques, and more.

Reseña del editor

In a series of ten progressive demonstrations Sidaway demonstrates the basics of drawing buildings. Basic techniques such as line quality, tone, colour, mixing media, measuring and assessing scale and proportion are explored using a variety of buildings from an ornate window to a simple church to a city skyline.
