This book explains how to draw realistic buildings and cities from two perspectives: architectural knowledge and visual-expression techniques.
It covers interiors such as living rooms and Japanese-style rooms; the differences between the exteriors of wooden and reinforced-concrete buildings; lighting placement; the construction of individual elements such as roofs and windows; the rules governing how buildings come together to form streets and cities; and nonresidential settings such as shrines, Edo-period towns, and schools.
The book brings together the dimensions, terminology, and essential knowledge needed to depict buildings from a wide variety of angles.
It also contains a wealth of practical drawing advice for enhancing illustrations, including the fundamentals of perspective and composition, different types of perspective projection, methods for adding light, shadow, and color, and techniques for arranging visual elements.
By expanding both your knowledge and your expressive range with this single volume, you will never have to fear drawing backgrounds again.
Illustrators, animators, 3D modelers, architectural presentation artists, novelists, and creators of every kind will find this indispensable. It is a definitive, permanent-reference collection of the ultimate techniques for drawing background art, ready to help whenever you need it.

When a new version of a product comes in stock, MiauMall will recreate a new version of the product page and link to distinguish it from the old version of the product. However, due to the consistent changes and updates of Japanese products, the product details page may occasionally not be up to date. As a result, there may be slight differences in the product you receive and the description on the details page (including design changes in the outer packaging, barcode, bottle, etc.). However, MiauMall promises that all products sold on the platform are genuine and all new products from the mainstream market of Japan.

For those seeking additional information on estimated shipping times, please refer to the details below outlining our shipping process and timeline.
Cross-border shipping involves complex factors, such as customs procedures, transportation time, and international logistics. Consequently, it may require additional time compared to domestic shipping.
We typically make shipments within 1-2 business days after receiving your order, however, there may be delays in delivery due to items being out of stock or due to a particularly high volume of orders. There may also be delays due to Japanese national holidays, especially multi-day holidays, such as Golden Week and New Year’s.
Once the package is shipped, it must pass through customs and be transported via international logistics. Additionally, there may be delays depending on the customer country’s inspection or policies, shipping method, weather conditions, and other factors.
We value your business and understand that waiting for your order to arrive may be frustrating, and we will strive to complete and ship your order within a reasonable timeframe.
If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to check out our full FAQ, read our Shipping Policy page, or to contact our customer service team.
Please keep the following information in mind before placing your order:
The "best before date" is the date until which the product is at its freshest in terms of optimal flavor and aroma. Unlike an expiration date, it does not mean that the product is inedible once its best before date has passed. If you place an order for a product that is close to its best before date as indicated on MiauMall, we will still deliver the product to you regardless of whether it arrives past that date.
Please keep this in mind before placing your order.
