Whether you specialize in drawing – even cartooning and animation – or prefer media such as acrylic, oil, pastel, or watercolor, a good knowledge of perspective is invaluable. It is the foundation of all great paintings and drawings, no matter what medium.
Perspective shows you everything you need to know to
make objects look three dimensional . Practice the methods of measuring and dividing areas proportionately; then learn how we perceive depth and distance, and how to render it correctly on paper or canvas.
You will
learn the basics and beyond , covering concepts like
foreshortening; cast shadows; reflections; and even one-, two-, and three-point perspective . And once you have a good grasp of the basics, it’s easy to graduate to more complex and irregular forms. This comprehensive guide will show you how!

Additionally, he performed as an art consultant for national space programs and for several artist’s paint manufacturers. Bill’s work included the creation of background sets for films, model making, animated cartoons and films for computer mockup programs.
