Drawing Perspective Methods for Artists
85 Methods for Creating Spatial Illusion in Art
About this book
Learn how to create the illusion of three-dimensional space in your drawings
It is as mundane as it is astounding: placed in the right way, a couple of lines on paper create three-dimensional space. To be more exact, the illusion of space.
The interest in three-dimensional drawing may initially arise from the intention to depict visible reality. However, the creation of depth is a fascinating challenge in every artistic composition. Drawing Perspective Methods for Artists is suitable for beginners and professionals alike. Authors Peter Boerboom and Tim Proetel have arranged, commented on, and with a guiding hand intuitively and tangibly presented 85 fundamental methods of three-dimensional illustration, offering a refreshing, simple approach to the graphic depiction of three-dimensionality.

Sucessively reducing the size of objects and things creates the impression that they are positioned behind each other. On the other hand, children (similar to artists in the Middle Ages) draw the sizes of objects depending on importance, not distance. The top of the picture represents the back to them.
With objects of identical shape, the smaller ones appear to sit farther back.
Not only do shapes become smaller, the distance between them becomes shorter the farther back they are.
Wide lines become thinner the more distant they are. The impression of regular repetition is important for depth perception.
The imagined horizon line staggers the areas in space.
Below is in front; above is in back— no matter how big the trees are.
The street edge defines the terrain. That’s why the gradually receding street disappears behind the hills, its smooth course broken up.
