4.0 out of 5 stars It teaches you what it says on the cover!, March 11, 2004
By 
Tex (Hyde nr. Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic Perspective for Comics & Illustration (Volume 1) (Paperback)
This book does exactly what it promises. It teaches basic perspective. When I was learning to draw comic books this book was a godsend. It explains the basics with superb accompanying illustrations and easy to follow text.

If you need to learn the basics of perspective, this book is for you. At only 48 pages it's a little pricey, which cost it the extra star, but as they say, knowledge is priceless. Treat this as a primer for more advanced perspective study, and you'll be delighted. 'Basic Perspective for Comics and Illustration' delivers the goods.

You can't ask more than that!

4.0 out of 5 stars Review from an art student, February 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Basic Perspective for Comics & Illustration (Volume 1) (Paperback)
As a Sequential Art student taking classes on drawing perspective, I found Pat Quinn's instructions easy to read and understand. He goes beyond the basics and informs his reader why you'd want to use varying angles as you develop scenes for your comic. My professors highly recommend this book, and I'd suggest likewise.
