1: good basic instruction
A good read, reiterates the importance of perspective for the amateur sketcher..very easy to understand and incorporate the principles in my work.
|
2: the title says it all
first off, I'm not an artist.
I wanted to learn perspective for drawing construction details.
I've had a book for years that I've tried to read at various times but could not make any sense out of it. It's called "perspective for artists".
This book came up as a recommended book for me and I decided to give perspective another shot.
I'd glad I did. This book is awesome. The material is presented simply and clearly. For the first time I feel I have a good, solid, beginner's understanding of perspective that I have been able to instantly use in my drawings.

3: My review
Even though it does not appeat to the eye at first, the content is very, very good and teaches a lot.
I keep it close and refer to it every time I have some difficulty while drawing in perspective.

4: Not for Interior Design
This book just wasn't for me. Maybe I expected too much after reading all the praise for this book. But I found the explanations insufficient, most of the time I had to look at the little drawings and try to figure it out myself.
There's not much in terms of interior design, which is what I would like to sharpen my drawing skills for. At one point, Norling gives a drawing of a box, and then he tells you to turn it, so it becomes a room and you can place furniture in it. But how??
In my opinion, the book lacks clear instructions and step-by-step drawings.
I expected more, maybe I'll find it in Pile's book.

5: Elementary
This book is extremely elementary; it's truly for somebody who has no art experience at all. If you are an Interior Designer looking for a book on perspective drawings chances are you already know way more than this book has to offer. I would recommend Perspective for Interior Designers by John Pile, it's extensive yet very clear and concise.
