Product Description Capturing perspective is one of the most difficult skills for any artist to master. The Complete Guide to Perspective boils this daunting subject down to its simplest principles providing clear step-by-step rules to help readers grasp and successfully apply the laws of perspective, photographs with superimposed lines and vanishing points to show how perspective is seen in reality, and instruction on aerial perspective, scale, and tone, as well as accurately capturing real-life elements including clouds, waves, crowds, and animals. Packed with useful advice and techniques, this helpful resource is a must for any beginning or serious artist, illustrator, and architect. | ||

One of the best book on perspective This is one of the best books on perspective I have read. Each topic is segmented into three levels. Basic, Intermediate and advanced. The advanced section is clearly labeled as advanced. The basic and intermediate sections are very comprehensive and easy digestible stuff. The content of the advanced section are not for starters though. On the less positive side: Some of the paintings and drawings used as illustration in the shadow section are printed too light. This is definitely something to be reviewed or corrected in the next volumes. Despite these minor issues it is one of the best books on perspective and I certainly will recommend it to others. Two thumps up! | ||
great book John Raynes is not only a fine and competent artist, but an outstanding writer and teacher. This book does not gloss over the technical complexity of perspective drawing, but keeps it very accessible and learnable. John does a great job of explaining concepts in extremely understandable terms. He's also (as in all his other books) illustrated it beautifully with both photos and drawings, using each where most appropriate. Good book for beginner to relatively advanced artist. | ||
