Description:
Architecture professionals × illustration, manga, and anime experts = unbeatable background art. Originally published as a special feature on background art and perspective drawing from an architectural magazine's unique viewpoint, the October 2019 issue of Kenchiku Chishiki (Architectural Knowledge) gained attention for its rare reprint success as a specialized publication. Now that issue combines and powers up with the June 2021 edition! "My backgrounds end up looking like cardboard cutouts." "I want to reference real buildings, but I don't know the names of 'those parts' so I can't research them!" "My characters float away from the background." "I can't draw stairs or roofs!"...and more. All these worries disappear once you understand architecture. The better an artist draws, the more superior their information-gathering ability and observational eye tend to be. If you want to draw convincing buildings and cityscapes, the fastest path is learning the actual rules that govern real architecture. This book introduces techniques for drawing realistic buildings and streets from both "architectural knowledge" and "expressive technique" perspectives. From interior views like living rooms and Japanese-style rooms, differences between wooden and RC construction exteriors, lighting placement methods, and the construction of individual elements like roofs and windows, to the rules that shape cities and scenarios beyond residential buildings like shrines, Edo-period structures, and schools—we've compiled dimensions, terminology, and knowledge you should know for expressing buildings from various angles. Of course, it's also packed with drawing tips to enhance illustration appeal, including perspective and composition basics, types of perspective, shading and coloring techniques, and motif placement methods. With this single volume expanding your knowledge and expression skills, background art becomes effortless! A must-see for all creators working in illustration, anime, 3D modeling, presentation perspective, novels, and more—the permanent edition of this "ultimate background art" technique collection that will always prove invaluable when you need it.
