by Tim Fisher

Published 23 September 2016

Tim Fisher is a well-respected UK-based artist and tutor, and here he shows the reader how to master perspective, from simple box diagrams through to complex scenes. The book begins with a fascinating history of perspective in art, in which the author explores every type from zero to multiple-point, with clear diagrams and drawings. Going beyond buildings and landscapes, he shows the reader how to work out perspective when drawing people, animals, boats, reflections and more. He provides expert advice on drawing curved objects and inclined planes, a run-down of common mistakes and an inspirational chapter on moving beyond a rigid application of the rules to draw freely and instinctively.
