Composition and Perspective: A simple, yet powerful guide to draw stunning, expressive sketches

To begin with, this book does not teach you the basics of how to to draw. This book is more about using time proven methods of making your drawings look life like.If you've tried your hand at drawing a picture and were discouraged that it did not look life like, then this book might be able to help you figure out why? On the other hand if you a new to sketching/ drawing this book will introduce you to fundamental concepts that will make sure your drawing looks life like.In either case, it will make you conscious of subtle aspects like perspective, horizon etc that will make your work life-like and take it to the next level.As with the last one, this book is packed with author's own examples and links to demonstrative videos which work well to drive home the point.I found this book well worth the time and am looking forward to the authors next book.

Perspective can be difficult to understand when you are a beginner, I have found this book to be one all artist would find very useful

This is the first book that really brought everything together. A no nonsense book written so that anyone can understand the subject.

I know this wasn’t reviewed by an editor which show on the writing mistakes but this book is awesome, very informative, clear (there were a couple of confusing bits) and a nice read. The exercises and examples are great. I’ll check more books by this author. I should mention I got it for free.

I'm looking forward to doing more exercises. In this and his other books there are examples for sketching subjects from photos, as well as sketching subjects using perspective from imagination and outdoors. The book is applicable to doing watercolors, as well as watercolor pencil and colored pencil. I am a beginner with some classes, and I need to work on perspective, correcting mistakes, and putting a halt to unnecessary habits. Reading this book should help clean up my drawing and sketching. An immediate goal is to broaden my view and have a plan that can improve my overall approach.

Great pics of the processes used. Straight forward explanations. Wonderful book for art students and enthusiasts. Would highly recommend this book.

Easy to understand basic concepts but no need for elaborated stories....More drawings can be added to create value rather than theoretical chapters.....

It is a book that blends drawing and painting. It deepens in the topics of perspective and shadow. Vive Very good give tips or the beginners.

I read an other book from the same author and it was better. This one is ok for me. It's good but mee a bit more details and explanation. But overall its ok for me.
