Drawing in Perspective by Oliver Striegel, Annette Englander (Translator)

From the Publisher

Artists can learn how to enter the third dimension with this generously illustrated, full-color guide to perspective.  With interesting visual examples illuminating the text every step of the way, it explains how to use vanishing points to create depth; choose one-, two-, or three-point perspective to place an object in the background; apply light, shadow, and reflection to produce realistic images; and make a figure seem elevated or menacing. These are the techniques that the great painters have employed to add motion, time, weather, and mood to their work—and they’re now available to everyone.

 “…very well illustrated and easy to follow...covers all types of perspective problems... the illustrations are fascinating.”—American Artist.

“…an excellent introduction…a fine display of step-by-step images.”—Midwest Book Review.
