Discover your World in Pen, Ink and Watercolor by Claudia Nice
The book gets the general interest of the reader in painting with its circles used to approximate and get the proportions of animals right. the book goes through many kinds of drawing. For example, painting the street lights and so on. It works at the general level than the details.

The beautiful marble work in Tajmahal, which looks like a painting to a layman is 'Pietre Dura'.

Islam forbade depiction of humans and animals in architecture design. This makes us see why there is not much of structures with human forms like in European architecture.
