Drawing Masterclass: Perspective

by Tim Fisher

Overview

In this essential addition to Search Press's high level drawing series, Tim Fisher gives a masterclass in perspective drawing, from one-point, two-point and multiple point right through to curvilinear perspective. There is good basic advice on drawing techniques such as hatching and creating tone, as well as on measurement, proportion, scale and adding people and animals in a landscape. Tim Fisher shows how to create convincing perspective in all aspects of drawing, from facial features to boats, stairways, reflections and domes. There is a section on common perspective mistakes to identify and avoid. Finally Tim Fisher goes beyond the more typical diagram-based methods to explore more instinctive ways of creating perspective such as contour drawing, using blocks of tone and using negative space.
