Perspective Made Easy

Ignore those reviewers who say this book is outdated. Yes, maybe it seems that way if you are a post millennium adolescent and expect bells and whistles, but if you are a normal mature adult, and need a solid grounding in perspective, this is the book. I read this cover to cover twice whilst on a holiday. Really absorbed it. It has been a God send.

It’s hard to believe that this was written in 1939! But don’t worry, this book wasn’t printed back then. It’s all new and shiny just like a book published on 2020. Some of the content requires you to really get your thinking cap on. It’s useful to follow some of the tasks at the end of each chapter also as that’s how you’ll get to grips with it quicker. But mostly it’s easy to get your head around and covers absolutely everything to do with perspective. I don’t get the low ratings off some of the readers because this is written in quite simplistic terms with diagrams used to demonstrate what is being taught. Easy as peas!

The most helpful book on understanding perspective that money can buy. I cannot express how fantastic this book is at explaining perspective drawing. Not only does the book show you 'how' to implement perspective, it explains 'why' these concepts work (many contemporary books fail to adequately explain the theory). It follows a logical progression and assumes no prior knowledge from the reader.I bought this book some time ago and have since put many hours of study into what it teaches - it has helped me out immensely. If you are struggling to wrap your head around this area of art then buy this book and absorb everything in it.

100% buy it, if you are doing any kind of perspective you should have this book, no doubt about it. Small, preety decent size, as long as you work in perspective this will stay with you all your life . If you are any designer / artist, there's no way to not have it , it's as simple as that .

Um livrinho pequeno, mas precioso. Eu já tinha bastante experiência com desenho em perspectiva, mas a cada capítulo, eu aprendo algo novo. Gosto, especialmente, dos capítulos dedicados a sanar dificuldades relacionadas ao plano inclinado e, principalmente, aqueles que trazem dicas sobre como dividir o espaço em perspectiva, quando se tem estruturas paralelas e igualmente espaçadas, como cercas, uma linha de postes, etc. Guardo esse livrinho ao lado dos meus materiais para desenho, e não o empresto para ninguém. Certamente, é uma ferramenta de trabalho.
