| Artists can learn how to enter the third dimension with this generously illustrated, full-color guide to perspective. Drawing in Perspective contains many of the techniques that the great painters have employed to add motion, time, weather, and mood to their work.
With interesting visual examples illuminating the text every step of the way, the book explains how to use vanishing points to create depth; choose one-, two-, or three-point perspective to place an object in the background; apply light, shadow, and reflection to produce realistic images; and make a figure seem elevated or menacing.
