Perspective Drawing for Interior Space

Using step-by-step instructions along with coloured line drawings, Natale begins with the basic fundamentals of perspective, utilizing geometric shapes (cubes, cones, pyramids) and then advances beyond the core skills to create furniture and complete interior spaces. The book includes using grids to develop perspective drawings with correct scale and proportions as well as floor plans and elevation drawings. Other elements such as shadows, reflections and adding people to scale are covered. Students will develop skills and techniques to create freehand and technical one, two, and three-point perspective drawings and sketches quickly to present their interior design in perspective to a client.
