In this third book of the Urban Sketching series, Stephanie Bower demonstrates, through numerous helpful tips, how the often-challenging concepts of perspective drawing can be broken down into simple, practical steps. She guides readers to think like architects, drawing buildings and spaces through a synthesis of forms and gradually adding layers to eventually enhance their sketches with details, tones, and colors. A deeper understanding of perspective will transform how you see and draw the world—perspectives will begin to reveal themselves to you everywhere.
