Book - Sketching Perspective

Perspective is key to visualizing a space and communicating an idea to others.

This book explains how to tackle perspective with hand sketching - how to turn a 3D scene into a 2D drawing successfully.

Written for a wide range of professionals from architects to set designers, engineers to interior designers, it explains the principles of perspective clearly and how to communicate a vision successfully.

Topics covered include:

• materials and equipment (specifically with drawing on location in mind)
• observational drawing using the body, arms, and hands to help understand the spaces being drawn
• perspective constructions for one and two vanishing points for interior and exterior drawings
• panoramic views and aerial perspective
• how to approach drawing a crowded scene/location
• adding detail - whether creating atmosphere and expression, or adding figures for scale
• drawing imaginatively and how to visualize thoughts confidently

It is fully illustrated with examples of how to draw perspective in the urban and natural landscape.
