DESCRIPTION:
He knows how to approach technical subjects and present them in easy-to-understand formats. About the AuthorJason Cheeseman-Meyer is a professional artist who draws from his art, math, teaching and writing backgrounds for his expertise on perspective for comics and fantasy art. A Magna Cum Laude graduate of Oberlin College and the Otis College of Art and Design, he has written and edited teaching manuals, and has been working on the subject of curvilinear perspective for eight years, creating a practical system for drawing and teaching it.
Inside you'll find:Complete instruction on drawing in one-, two- and three-point perspective and four- and five-point curvilinear perspective (where "straight" lines are drawn as curves). Master perspective like the pros! Vanishing Point shows you how to conquer the fundamentals of perspective drawing and then equips you with technical tricks and tools that make dynamic and complex scenes a snap. Curvilinear perspective has not been taught in any other perspective book - until now!Full-color, step-by-step demonstrations move you beyond the theories and let you practice the techniques in real scenes.A special chapter on drawing curves helps you break out of the box and draw cylinders, ellipses, ca

How to make quick sketches Once you get the hang of blocking in vanishing points to get realistic sizes, then you are on your way to being your own creative artist. Many people have artistic talent but just can't get it to look right (3D effect). This book is an excellent tutorial.I have a background in architecture. We used a different method to draw precision 3D looking houses and buildings. But the concepts are the same. This is a much faster approach since you are drawing freehand as opposed to our "technically accurate" renderings.The book begins with one point per. "Excellent book on perspective!" according to K. R.. Having originally trained in the area of manual drafting I've always thought I knew a lot about drawing perspectives. This book showed me that there are more options than just the traditional one, two, and three point techniques. In addition to covering the basics of those, it also details using curvilinear four point and a wide-view five-point method that to me mimics using a fish-eye lens.This 128 page book is packed with examples and clearly written explanations of the methods demonstrated. I particularly like that you are shown a progressi. Projectmatt said Great lessons on creating freehand landscapes. This book provides great insight on creating landscape perspective. Offers breakdowns of several perspective types with various vanishing points and horizon line relations. I recommend this to any artist looking to learn how to create freehand landscapes.
