Como indica o título, uma introdução básica à perspectiva. Extremamente simples, o autor não perde muito tempo em explicações mais aprofundadas, mas lembra, ao final: "Aprenda tudo sobre perspectiva, o conhecimento ganho lhe dará mais confiança nos seus desenhos e lhe permitirá um maior grau de liberdade".

A book given to me by my father, Perspective Made Easy is a phenomenal book that utilizes examples (figures, buildings etc.) to teach perspective. the book is divided into 20 steps all containing different parts about drawing perspective -those include: step six: placing the two vanishing points, the error of close spacing. step nine: placing figures and objects in a drawing. step fourteen: practical uses of cylinders in drawing, dividing the circle. (few examples)-. A nice addition the book has at the end of each step is a summary of the key points in the step, a few problems to solve (draw) and a few things to take from each step. This books is a fantastic introduction to a vast amount of concepts related to perspective, 5/5.

Way too "easy" to have truly understanding of perspective. The ellipse part is quite useful while the part of irregular spacing is totally wrong. How exciting it is to learn something from many sources, so by comparing what you learn from one source with that of others and with your own experience, you find the truth.

Very useful book for any artist! I feel like I have learned so much from this even though this is such an old book, it is very detailed to cover all aspects of perspective and easy to follow and understand whether you are a complete beginner or an established artist.
