Building drawings from perspective basics

Scott Robertson’s guide organizes imaginative drawing as a progression from foundational perspective skills to more complex forms. Early instruction on perspective grids and ellipses supplies tools that later chapters use to construct objects and environments. The book also addresses research and design processes for developing visual concepts, connecting drawing technique with the work of inventing forms that do not come from direct observation. Its instructional scope spans basic exercises through professional design practice, with more than 25 pages linked to video tutorials through the publisher’s app.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning artists seeking instruction in perspective and drawing fundamentals
  • Students and professionals in art, architecture, or design
  • Teachers looking for drawing instruction and linked video resources

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.
