Drawing Perspective

by Tim Fisher

"...by far the best primer [on perspective] I’ve ever seen. If you have other books, throw them away and buy this. You won’t regret it."- Artbookreview.net

Learn how to master perspective and create convincing drawings of the three-dimensional world with the help of artist and teacher, Tim Fisher.

Every aspect of perspective, from zero- to multi-point, is explored and explained in simple terms that everyone can understand. In addition to landscapes and buildings, you will learn how to apply perspective to people, animals, boats, reflections and more. There is also expert advice on drawing curved objects and inclined planes, a run-down of common mistakes, and an inspirational chapter on moving beyond a rigid application of the rules to draw freely and instinctively.

Clear diagrams and finished drawings are included throughout, along with numerous exercises so that you can put your new skills into practice.

Reviews

[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent how-to book. I read this as I wanted to revisit drawing and perspective since it has been several years since my HS and college art classes. Well illustrated, carefully lists simple tools and drawing aids, and easy to follow (Fisher is a UK instructor, so most of the scenes are from the U.K.). The book includes sections on curved perspective and curvilinear perspective, along with a nice sub-chapter on mistakes to avoid. (Rating 4.7-5.0/5.0 stars).

For someone who knows little on the subject, this filled in a lot of holes in my understanding. As I practice my boxes I plan to refer back to this book as a guide.
