An excellent; inexpensive and clear explanation of perspectiveBy Betty AnnThis is an excellent; inexpensive and clear explanation of perspective. ***It also has a chapter on perspective and getting cast shadows right.*** You might say that you draw or paint from photographs so you dont think you need this but you are wrong. Lenses often distort lines and if you copy what the camera shows you the picture will not look right. I have seen horrible distortions of buildings and windows by artists who should have known better. I; myself; have made mistakes when merging photographs - adding a few buffalo to the background of foreground buffalo - and realizing after framing that the rear most animal could not possibly be that large. Oops. Even buffalo out in a field must obey the laws of perspective! The basics of perspective are easy to understand. The book also covers some very complex information too for the more advanced artist. But with patience and repeated study over time it...well; heck; it STILL can be confusing but some knowledge is much better than no knowledge and you get the hang of it over time. Do buy this book -- it is relatively painless.13 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Its Good for Reference; but Not InstructionBy AmyAlthough Im a self-taught artist and Ive never taken art class (except in middle school; which was required; but I learned nothing); my perspective needed work so I bought this book as a way to learn about perspective grids or certain tips and tricks to measure the distance between objects.Unfortunately; this book includes a lot of pictures and explanations; but no actual instructions; which I was looking forward to. It doesnt tell you "how" to construct a certain grid or certain lines; it just has several illustrations and information relating to it.If youre someone who can observe something and make something out of it; this book is suitable for you. But for me; this will just be a reference to how things work in perspective.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. this will draw your attentionBy GeoMagNeticI will be using the lessons in this book for years and it may just take me that long to get through them. Great instruction inside. keep a drawing pad and pencil close by
