 Perspective drawing for beginners |
| Review Date: April 6, 2008 |
| Reviewer: J. F. Lye, |
| I have trouble getting things in perspective - especially when I start adding other buildings or objects that come in at different angles. This book is great because it gives 1, 2, and 3 point perspectives, contrast and tonal shading techniques, projections for plans, practice object drawings with curves and landscape drawings. It even gives example of people proportions, and movements, and clothing. I have been looking for a book like this for awhile. It is very easy to follow and it really has every aspect covered. A great foundation to build upon. |

| I needed this book for one of my college classes and the Amazon price was almost 3/4 cheaper then in the schools book store. This book was only used for about 3-4 months and from what I saw from the textbook... it was great. I learned a lot and I might keep it around just in case I need it for a future math class. But overall, I give it an A... |
Excellent work on perspective

| I've had my copy for several months now, and it's well worn and thoroughly digested by now. This is an excellent book on perspective, which can at times be a difficult concept to master. The book is well written, with clear instruction and equally clear illustrations. I also picked up Perspective for Artists by Rex Vicant Cole, which you should also seriously consider because it adds so much more to a thorough understanding of perspective. Also very helpful to me have been They Art of Perspective and Perspective Secrets by Phil Metzger, and The Complete Guide to Perspective by John Raynes. All four of these books dovetail nicely and it is really worthwhile buying all four. |
