Here is a clear, jargon-free primer on recreating objects from nature by using perspective techniques. Author Benjamin R.

Green begins with definitions of lines (parallel, perpendicular, inclined, horizontal, and vertical) and discussions of the seat of the eye and the vanishing point. He examines the relative situation of the spectator and the object to be drawn, compares parallel and oblique views, and discusses drawing objects with more than four sides and curved-line objects such as arches. Numerous illustrations appear throughout the text. Book specifications: paperback, 64 pgs., 5 3/8 in. x 8 1/2 in. Publisher: Dover, 2005.

  PRICE: 10.67

  In this thought-provoking practical guide, noted artist and educator Ernest W. Watson demonstrates that learning to violate the rules of perspective (profitably) is as important for the practicing artist as learning the principles of perspective themselves. Only in this way can students free themselves from the constraints of tradition and find their own imaginative paths. However, it is vital that students have a solid grasp of classical perspective before they can think about adapting it creatively. In presenting the principles of perspective drawing, Mr. Watson devotes a chapter to each type of perspective (picture plane, foreshortening and convergence, three-point perspective, and more). The result is a groundbreaking study that artists, illustrators, and draftsmen will find invaluable in learning to create works with convincing perspective. Paperback, 160 pages.ISBN 486273377 Dover

  In this highly praised guidebook, versatile and influential artist/teacher Joseph Sheppard introduces an innovative approach to drawing the human form. Beginning by reviewing the basics of anatomy, he makes his principal focus the specifics of surface anatomy. Rather than depicting in detail the muscles and bones that lie beneath the skin, as do most books on artistic anatomy, this book concentrates on how the position and movement of muscles and bones affect the surface forms on live models. The effects are masterfully demonstrated in over 170 of Joseph Sheppard's own drawings of many different live models in front, back and side views, and in various standing, sitting, kneeling, crouching, reclining, and twisting poses. Each drawing is accompanied by two diagrams, one for bones and one for muscles, which specifically show how surface forms are created by the definitive shapes beneath the skin.
