    Drawing spectacular landscapes, fantastic interiors, and other wildly animated backgrounds for cartoon art demands skill at constructing correct perspective to fit the confines of a comic-strip panel.

    Readers learn how to use light and shadow in drawing cartoon perspective; deal with overlapping, diffusion, and convergence; master one-, two-, and three-point perspective; create extra-wide angles suited to a cartoon-panel format; and find shortcuts for suggesting spatial depth.
