Building imagined forms through perspective

Scott Robertson’s drawing guide moves from foundational perspective skills toward the construction of more complex objects and environments. Its early instruction on perspective grids and ellipses sets up later work in visual concept development, including research and design processes for creating forms that do not already exist. The book is aimed across artistic and design practice, with material presented for learning and teaching. More than 25 pages also connect to video tutorials through the Design Studio Press app, adding a digital component to the printed lessons.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Novice drawers seeking instruction in perspective and sketching imagined forms
  • Art, architecture, and design students developing visual concept skills
  • Professional artists and designers, as well as people who teach drawing

Book overview

How to Draw is for artists, architects and designers. It is useful to the novice, the student and the professional. You will learn how to draw any object or environment from your imagination, starting with the most basic perspective drawing skills.


Early chapters explain how to draw accurate perspective grids and ellipses that in later chapters provide the foundation for more complex forms. The research and design processes used to generate visual concepts are demonstrated, making it much easier for you to draw things never-before-seen!

Best of all, more than 25 pages can be scanned via a smartphone or tablet using the new Design Studio Press app, which link to video tutorials for that section of the book!

With a combined 26 years of teaching experience, Scott Robertson and Thomas Bertling bring you the lessons and techniques they have used to help thousands of their students become professional artists and designers.

This book is indispensable for anyone who wants to learn, or teaches others, how to draw.
