 Great for Aspiring Comic Book Artists December 14, 2008
If you're thinking of becoming a comic book artist, then this is the book on perspective that you're looking for. It covers one-point, two-point, three-point, four-point, and five-point perspective. Everything you need all in one book. It also provides some tips for common problems, for example what to do when there is no horizon in the frame or how to make adjustments if a ruled out perspective seems too mechanical. I found this advice on how to add character to drawings useful.
Great for Beginners! November 25, 2008
For someone who had always had trouble with proportions and hated doing backgrounds, this book has really helped me to develop my skills. It's use of small practice and then showing them how they can be used in full scale background makes background work not only easy but fun. I really enjoyed this book and I would tell anyone that if they are looking for background and perspective help, this is the book to get!
Great Book November 9, 2008

putting things into perspective October 30, 2008

Firstly, I want to make it clear that I have never wanted to become a graphic artist because I lack the creativity to become one. So, if you need an expert advice, please read someone else's review. However, I have always wanted to understand how this art form works and the book brilliantly served this purpose.br /br /Getting the perspective right must be the first step before you start drawing people, buildings or anything at all. You have to place objects and persons at the right place and in the appropriate size. The ancient Egyptians managed to become famous without acquiring this crucial skill, but nowadays few people would accept a deficiency in this area in the works of their contemporaries.br /br /Perhaps most of us learnt at school that to give a sense of depth and space in the flat-world of drawing, you need to set up one or two vantage points. This book actually makes it clear that you can have any number of them between one and five and also shows what special effect can be achieved by the application of each of these options.br /br /After studying this book for a while, I started to look at pictures and drawings in a different light: I began to search for vantage points, which is, I suppose, an important step towards a better appreciation of visual art.
a great and simple book October 14, 2008
i tried several times to learn the secrets of right perspective but never have i truely mange to understand it. everytime it felt i should know stuff i didn't and that it's common knowledge - since it was not cleared and the book i worked with.br /with this book i felt i actually treated like what i am - a novice!br /its pace and teaching are clear and simple and all you need is to read and follow. br /br /highly recommandedbr /br /
