Amazingly Simple To Learn Perspective - No Kidding!

The team that put this perspective book together needs to get an award. I have read and gotten several perspective books and by far this book is the most easy to understand. You're not overburdened with tons and tons of word explanations, just visual examples which are easy to follow. Any young or amateur artist will GAIN from this book...period.

Excellent for learning to draw

I really enjoyed reading this drawing book. It was very helpful in teaching me how to draw from different perspectives. I believe that both novices and experts could learn some things from this book.

More instructive than most books in this series

I love this book because it talks about perspective and gives detailed examples and advice on composition. It even gives you info on the placement of characters in a scene. It's the best book out of the entire How to Draw Manga series. It's even useful for people who don't care for manga. I couldn't recommend it enough.

Truly comprehensive

This is the book to get if you want to learn perspective. It doesn't just teach you 1st ,2nd, and 3rd point perspective but also shows you how to draw slopes (up & down), forked roads, indoor and outdoor scenes, stairs, and the very important how to draw the relative size from one object to another.More specifically, it touches on the basics - standing on the earth, drawing the outdoors, distance of natural objects, drawing indoor scenes, how to draw backgrounds, and special effects and character representation using perspective. I noticed an error in one of the examples but other than that, this book is highly recommended for budding or intermediate artist's whether you're interested in making manga or not. Getting your character to fit with the surroundings is key even when making pin-ups.

Great for creating outstanding scenery

Having trouble with that woodland scenery? Is your metropolis going crooked with the horizon? Then this book shows the easy tricks of the Manga world to get you going on the right track and in no time you'll be amazed at how easy it is to create those effects that manga fans drool over on the screen!
