Book Reviews of Perspective Made Easy (Dover Art Instruction)
Book Review: one handy reference
Summary: 5 Stars
What a bargain this book is! I'm teaching myself to draw and this book explained to me in the simplest language possible (and with plenty of helpful illustrations) how to tackle the challenges of drawing in perspective. I really like how the author explains how to draw circles in perspective, how to place people into a two-point perspective scene, and how to evenly divide circles and rectangles so that you can draw in things like the spokes of an umbrella or evenly-spaced windows. There's even a section on reflections that's worth reading. You don't really need to know much about geometry nor do you need fancy tools to try out the exercises in this book either.
Overall this is a great beginner's book and one handy reference to have nearby when you're working on your illustrations.
Book Review: perspective drawing
Summary: 4 Stars
there are some books that get very wordy with perspective terms and lines and maps of how to use the vantage points, this one is as good as the perspective books that say they are simple techniques
Book Review: the title says it all
Summary: 5 Stars
first off, I'm not an artist.
I wanted to learn perspective for drawing construction details.
I've had a book for years that I've tried to read at various times but could not make any sense out of it. It's called "perspective for artists".
This book came up as a recommended book for me and I decided to give perspective another shot.
I'd glad I did. This book is awesome. The material is presented simply and clearly. For the first time I feel I have a good, solid, beginner's understanding of perspective that I have been able to instantly use in my drawings.
