Perspective is easy; yet surprisingly few artists are familiar with the simple laws that make it so. Now they can remedy the situation with this stepby-step book, the first devoted entirely to clarifying the laws of perspective. In it, the author uses over 250 simple line drawings to illustrate the concepts involved. Beginning with discussions of the horizon, vanishing point, and the crucial relationship of eye level to perspective drawing, readers learn how to place figures and objects in a drawing, depict interiors, create shade and shadows, and achieve the other elements necessary for a successful perspective drawing. Important points are stressed repeatedly throughout the book until they have become completely familiar; moreover, the simplicity of the explanations and the directness of the numerous drawings allow anyone, regardless of talent or experience, to attain easily an almost instinctive appreciation of the rules of perspective.
Unabridged republication of the work originally published by The Macmillan Company, New York, 1945. Foreword. 256 illus. 224pp. 5 1/8" x 8 1/2", April 1999, Paperbd.
