How to Draw and Paint Fantasy Architecture

by Rob Alexander
How to Draw and Paint Fantasy Architecture - Thryft
How to Draw and Paint Fantasy Architecture - Thryft

Fantasy architecture made easy.

This book would be a good read for aspiring illustrators and artists looking to draw and paint fantasy buildings and landscapes. The author provides comprehensive instruction on traditional architectural shapes, lighting, shadow, and perspective, as well as creating surface textures and adding dramatic atmosphere to illustrations. With over 250 color illustrations, readers are guided through a series of projects of increasing complexity, including fantasy castles, palaces, and dungeons, offering techniques for capturing fantastic buildings and alternate realities.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
