| Imagine perspective without pain...no T-squares, complicated equations, or mechanical terms...just simple instructions and hands-on exercises to teach you how to create a sense of depth in your drawings and paintings. Here Phil Metzger gives you clear-cut guidelines in everyday terms- with a little humor tossed in along the way. You'll learn techniques of perspective that will enhance your creativity. Included are techniques to achieve the illusion of depth by gradually diminishing the sizes of--and the distance between--similar objects; use soft edges and less detail on objects in the background to make them seem farther away; introduce depth simply by manipulating color and value; properly draw roads, paths, streets, fields, and streams to suggest depth in a scene and to describe the flatness or hilliness of a landscape; and much more.
