Description

Master Perspective Drawing in a Flash with Shockingly Simple Techniques

Intimidated by perspective drawing? This all-inclusive guide will quell your fears and have you creating architectural masterpieces in no time at all. Join artist and educator Roberto Bernal, and learn the secrets of perspective drawing, starting with the most basic shapes and lines. As a former architect who switched careers to focus on his passion for perspective drawing, Roberto is all about diving into the need-to-know information, without bogging you down with a bunch of unnecessary theory.

In 14 detailed lessons with accompanying step-by-step projects, you'll learn the ins and outs of one-, two- and three-point perspective. He also shares expert tips for how to craft a convincing staircase, construct a beautiful building and create depth-defying bird's-eye views of cities. But Roberto's techniques aren't limited to the urban realm; with universally-applicable lessons like Height, Depth and Spatial Awareness or Putting Nature in Perspective, you'll be drafting rural landscapes with ease.

By breaking this often-intimidating art form into easy and accessible steps, Roberto opens you up to the approachable world of depth illusions and realistic cityscapes. Learn to draw the world as you see it in this beginner-friendly guide to perspective drawing.
