As a professional, understanding the foundations of drawing, how we process images, and how we interpret what we see are principal skills. Understanding linear perspective enables artists and architects to accurately communicate their ideas on paper. The Complete Guide to Perspective Drawing offers a step-by-step guide for the beginner, as well as the advanced student, on how to draw in one-point through six-point perspective and how to make scientifically accurate conceptual illustrations from simple to complex situations. This new edition has been updated to include:

• Over 30 completed case images showing real applications of the processes and techniques discussed


• Expanded information on ellipses


• Expanded information on three-point perspective shadows


• Integrated video tutorials throughout


• A new design for ease of navigation across chapters

With over 400 simple, clear drawings, written explanations, exercises and video tutorials, as well as historical and theoretical background, this book is an essential visual guide for current and future architects, interior designers, landscape architects, graphic designers, video game designers, animators, and artists.

From Previous Editions:

"Full of very clear illustrations with a straightforward text, knowledge of algebra and geometry is not required. [...] This is an excellent guide that is easy to use. It is well laid out, allowing information to be easily accessed."
