Synopsis
Perspective is a key topic that comics and fantasy artists need to know—this book presents the subject clearly and with dynamic artwork designed to appeal to that demographic.
Clearly explains one-point, two-point, three-point, four-point and five-point perspective.
It can take thousands of drawings to develop a sense of perspective. With Vanishing Point, readers will learn how to create successful perspective drawings fast the first time around by understanding where to place their vanishing points. No other book on the market features a detailed section devoted to five-point curvilinear perspective. Vanishing Point covers five-point perspective in depth, opening an endless range of possibilities for dramatic effects. Ideal for comics and fantasy artists, the book focuses on useful considerations on how artists can create detailed drawings of scenes that exist only in their head, rather than observation.
