Perspective Made Easy: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you can only own 5 books on art, this would easily be one of them. I bought Scott Roberts how to draw book (a really essential book for the intermediate perspective artist btw), and I have found that perspective made easy fills in the missing information not found on that book. I have the classic book everyone uses basic perspective drawing a visual guide by John Montague, and yet Robbie Lee's book also covers much information that is missing from johns book mainly 3 point perspective. Let me explain why for the serious art student such a simple book is soo essential. It covers not only 1 point, 2 point and 3 point perspective in an easy to understand methods, but also HOW TO use perspective 1 point or 2 point for drawing landscapes and landscape features, which Scott Robertson shows but does not explain. MOST IMPORTANTLY this book provides geometric solutions for drawing with OFF THE PAGE VANISHING POINTS in both 2 point AND 3 point. The 3 point off the page VANISHING point solution and explanation is something that not even the two books Perspective for comic book artists by David Chelsea explain clearly, and yet those two books are unequaled in their explanation of 4 point, 5 point, and 6 point perspective drawing yet can't explain off the page VP solutions like Robbie Lee's book does. If you get this book it will help you understand how to work with use and setup perspective grids. I couldn't understand Scott Robertson's how to draw book chapters on perspective grids without this book. I know Robbie Lee's book may at first glance seem simplistic, maybe eve short and brief, but this book has some seriously important info that is packed in tightly that other more popular or thicker books on art or architectural perspective lack. I have over 30 books on perspective, this book is easily in my top 5 books on the subject because of its easy to understand fundamentals that are not covered in any other books on the subject. If anything I would like to ask Robbie Lee personally to make a second book, a sequel covering 4point and beyond, shadows and shading as well as other difficult perspective and geometry problems in a simple to understand and memorize way like he has with this book.

Have you ever seen a drawing ro painting that looked amazing, but there was something about it that just wasn't quite right. You may not be able to put your finger on it, but there was something about it that was off. Chances are good that the perspective was off in some part or all of the drawing. Getting perspective right is key if you want to create artwork that will set you apart from other artists. Perspective is often the most misunderstood aspect of creating great artwork among amateur and intermediate artists. Having a firm grasp of the subject can take your art to the next level, and this book will make it easier than ever before. Highly recommended.

Perspective is hard. But we all gotta learn eventually.

If you Have trouble with highly technical books this is the book for you. very clear and concise anyone can learn from this book. I highly recommend buying

Arrived on time great condition good price excellent seller very helpful with understanding perspective

This was a gift for my grandson so I am going to tell you what he said. "Its probably for 4th. grade and up"(he's in 5th grade). "It shows you every single step, how to bring things out and what kind of colors to use." He also gave it the star level.So there you have it!

The book that finally made basic perspective make sense to me. Plenty of visuals and examples and explains almost every question a beginner needs to know.

The first part is great and easy to follow. As I got further into the book the chapters try to cover too much and I got bogged down. Still a good resource and better than anything else I have found.

Visually appealing and covers a lot of ground in very simple, easy to follow stages.Covers similar topics to  Vanishing Point: Perspective for Comics from the Ground Up  (which is also excellent) with, perhaps, a slightly more engaging style.You probably don't need both although Perspective Made Easy does have some nice tips on how to workaround some issues when accurate perspective doesn't look quite right. Vanishing Point: Perspective for Comics from the Ground Up

Die beste, umfassendste, didaktisch sinnvollste Darstellung des perspektivischen Zeichnens. Komplexe Zusammenhänge werden sehr gut erklärt. Was dieses Buch hervorhebt, ist die Tatsache, dass es nicht nur die Gesetze und Prinzipien derPerspektive erklärt, sondern auch zeigt, WIE man es ganz konkret auf einem Blatt Papier anwendet, und zwar so, dass man es auf Anhieb versteht. Ich habe auch das Buch von Scott Robertson "How to Draw" durchgearbeitet, welches für viele als die Bibel des perspektivischen Zeichnens gilt. Im Gegensatz zu Robbie Lee ist erklärt Scott Robertson zwar sehr mathematisch-geometrisch korrekt, wie Perspektive funktioniert, aber leider lässt er einen häufig im Unklaren, WIE man das Wissen auf einem Blatt Papier umsetzt. Kurzum, was die Tiefe, Umfang und Praxistauglichkeit bezüglich des perspektivischen Zeichnens anbelangt, gibt es nichts annähernd so didaktisch Sinnvolles auf dem Markt. Klare Kaufempfehlung für ernsthaft Interessierte.

The information in this book is pretty standard, in terms of perspective drawing. But it's presented in a cartoony, fun way, which makes it much easier to pay attention to the particulars. Highly recommended for beginners, or seasoned artists who need a refresher.

La prospettiva a fumetti!Simpatico e fatto bene.Tuttavia in alcune parti diventa un pò troppo complicato. In questi casi non so quanto i sistemi proposti siano effettivamente applicabili in pratica.

It's a very great book. It's easy to follow the instructions. I love it!
