Excellent book, a must-have if you are involved with any kind of drawing or related activities.

really simple to understand

This book has twenty short chapters that cover the fundamentals of perspective drawing. It's a fairly old book (I thought it was kind of cute how it talked about the challenges of animating cartoons back in the 1940s), but the content is still relevant and accurate. It is a bit dry, but I really liked the ink drawings on the first page of each chapter.

Great reference book on perspective - easy to understand explanations with plenty of illustrations. Not surprised how complex perspective can be. This is one definitive go-to book on the subject that will be revisited again and again.

A bit antiquated but definitely helpful for artists who have trouble with perspective and spatial reasoning. I didn't try many of the exercises but I'll come back and give it a shot. Mechanical perspective doesn't seem useful at all and I completely skipped that section.

Intriguing but also written in a place of confusion

Easy to understand. Easy to follow in order to practice the exercises and examples given.

Bonus points for being able to read the text in an 1930s radio voice, as the text was written then and lends itself to such silliness.

لعله أهم كتاب عن كيفية رسم الجسم ثلاثي الأبعاد بالطريقة الصحيحة، التي تحفظ النسبة والتناسب بينه وبين بقية الأجسام والمحيط.
الكتاب كتب قبل 90 سنة، لكن يناسب الرسام التقليدي ورسام الديجيتال.

ما يميز الكتاب أنه يبدأ بشكل متدرج ثم يتعمق، ويحتوي الرسومات التمثيلية أو الهندسية أحيانا، وتم تقسيمه إلى خطوات، وقراءته ممتعة بغض النظر ولغته سهلة.

It's great that this book is going to be reprinted again, since its first publication in 1939. It's a very useful book.

All the concepts of perspective are explained in plain and simple English. It teaches the basic foundation well, in a progressive manner where you build onto what you've learned earlier. Included are examples that emphasis the lesson point effectively. Once you get it, you get it forever.
