it was amazing
bookshelves: art

Quote from the book,
“Before you can draw anything, you need to learn how to draw with perspective.�

Regardless of what sort of artworks you do, if you’re going to draw/sketch or paint, you need to know perspective; it doesn’t matter if you draw people, objects, environments, you cannot have a successful art work without a good understanding of perspective.

Certain books teach that sort of information and I find that Vanishing Point is one that achieves this brilliantly.

As most art books, Ian Roberts starts his book by showing the tools you need to do all the exercises shown in the book. Yes, I said it: exercises! Roberts includes exercises for the reader after he discusses each of the different types of perspective: One-Point, Two-Point, Three-Point, Four-Point, and Five-Point.

He gives step by step guides to each topic and explains how to draw different objects. What I also like is how he includes examples of his artworks that accompany what he has explained which makes it easier to understand.

Note: This book gives examples mainly of comic style art but the information on perspective can be applied anywhere else.

It is a really good book and I highly recommend it!
