Perspective Made Easy (Dover Art Instruction)

All the basics of perspective is pretty much right here, with clear and easy to understand examples & descriptions. It's a very helpful book for anyone studying perspective. I Highly recommend it!

This is a GREAT book on perspective.Its shows you the wrong way to draw something,then it shows how to correct it and WHY the first image is wrong.It goes into detail about everything and is the ultimate book on perspective.I highly recommend it!!

This book is a great review with plenty of exercises to brush up or just get the fundamentals of perspective drawing. I purchased it after borrowing a copy from my public library, but enjoyed the simple and effective directions for the exercises. I knew I needed to add it to my collection of (mostly figure drawing) books.

Full disclaimer: I have not finished the book (I am about 40% through).

However, after having perspective "made easy" like the book advertised, I feel that it was appropriate to go ahead and review this book. As someone who is beginning to learn how to draw, this resource helped tremendously in understanding perspective. I really liked how he used certain tools and concepts to illustrate two-point perspective as well as how to draw the vanishing points a certain distance apart.

One thing I would have liked to see more is perhaps a bit more diagrams (especially to the homework-type assignments at the end of each section).

Excellent and comprehensive little guide for all aspects of the perspective. Now I know why it is classic. I am self-taught amateur artist and this is the first book that I studied on that subject. The book helped me a lot but I have my doubts. The last part of the book seems to be running out of fuel, is not so very explanatory on shadow creation. Either way, I love this book and I recommend it to my friends.

Everything you want to know about making perspective happen is in this book. It doesn't have the history of perspective drawings, but otherwise covers the topic exhaustively (in my experience as an artist.)

Excellant ! Initially it seemed to me difficult to understand but as I went through with lot of patience, I started understanding it and I should say (after reading this book) it is a great book for learning perspective. One negative point is this book is printed in one color. Could have been much better if it was color printed with much more colourful examples...! I recommend this book.
