Jennifer Laycock has been writing a series called Zero Cash, A Little Talent and 30 Days. She’s starting a website and seeing how far she can go by bootstrapping it on a Google AdWords coupon. So far she’s been running it for 14 days and has brought in about $121 in revenue.

It’s an interesting series because it covers how to get indexed in the major search engines and what the differences are, how to generate income, and how to market your webstore. All of this from the perspective of a web marketer instead of a techie.

This is project 9 from Drawing for Dummies.

Chapter 9 introduces perspective. First you’re introduced to geometric perspective. The chapter contains a discussion of horizon lines, vanishing points, and one- and two- point perspectives.

Next you look at overlapping, placing objects in front of other objects. The chapter finishes with a discussion of atmospheric perspective. Atmospheric perspective is achieved by muting the tones and details of objects as the move further back in the picture.

This chapter has two simple projects. Drawing a one-point perspective.

And drawing a two-point perspective.

Chapter 8 introduces textures. Identifying textures is the focus of the first half of the chapter. Rendering textures is the second half.

This project took a while to complete. It’s a lot of hatching to cover the page. I was also experimenting with a new Staedtler Mars technico 780
