| Synopsis: |
The very first step in becoming an artist is to learn how to draw the world around you realistically. The problem is, we don't always know what we see. How do we know how far away a particular tree is? How steep a hill? We know from experience that is based on a lifetime of interpreting specific visual clues. This book shows the readers exactly what these clues are and how to use them to create convincing, realistic drawings. This book provides a complete foundation in the principles used in illusionist drawing.The text explores value, contrast, texture, cast shadows, elliptical perspective, linear perspective, transparency, reflections, composition and colour - exactly the principles we all use to interpret the visible world, but that are so ingrained on our perception that they elude us when we try to draw. It teaches the artist to be aware of and understand these principles and, more importantly, how to apply them to create the illusion of reality and to make the imagined believable. |
