✦ Synopsis

This is a wonderful book. Look beyond the quant dated appearance, you will see most everything a young artist needs to know about perspective is packed into these 40 pages. An extreme value and a «must have» for anyone interested in perspective sketching. So many books offer what amounts to lackluster, weak sauce rehashing of the essence of what Ernest Norling has so skillfully laid down. The old timers, Andrew Loomis, George Bridgeman, Robert Oliver deliver this information with illustrious clarity. These men hit the point, everyone else is reframing the same topic, not really adding much in terms of content or style. This concise book contains all youll ever need to know about perspective drawing. In twenty masterfully organized chapters, from simple to complex, the author explains the basics and not-so-basics of perspective drawing. He includes suggestions on how to make your drawings a lot simpler, drawing methods for observation and space division, a «Remember» section at the end of each chapter in which he summarizes the most important information and principles presented in that chapter, and a «Problems» section with exercises that will help you apply what you just learned. This great book, devoted entirely to clarifying the laws of perspective, has over 250 simple line drawings, includes 256 illustrations, and leads the reader through every important concept.
