“This basic book is very well illustrated and easy to follow...covers all types of perspective problems...explains and demonstrates a lot, and the illustrations are fascinating.”—American Artist. “Tells beginners how to produce three-dimensional images....This is an excellent introduction which packs many black-and-white and color examples into a fine display of step-by-step images.”—Midwest Book Review.

Confusing!,
By Jill Foster (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drawing in Perspective (Paperback)
This is one of the most confusing educational books I have ever read. It is beautifully illustrated but the diagrams, when studied closely, are poorly labelled, do not accord with the text and overlap one another in a misleading way. The text itself is very hard to digest, uses lots of jargon and fails to explain the pictures/diagrams. In addition there is no attempt made to show how the principles so poorly explained can be applied to real drawing situations. In short, I would not recommend this book to anyone.

DCGirl,
By DCGirl (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drawing in Perspective (Paperback)
I found this book to be very informative. Granted, this book may not be for someone attempting to learn to draw without formal instruction; however, during my first two years of college I was a Graphic Design major and had difficulty grasping the concept of how to depict foreshortening. I was told by friends who are wonderful illustrators in the comic book style (which uses foreshortening quite a bit) that the concept is often grasped during an "aha moment." I experienced that moment while flipping through a copy I found at my office!While I do not own this book yet I am planning to purchase a copy for my personal library ASAP!
