Artists' Master Series: Perspective and Depth

Thrilled! Expensive purchase but trustable seller. Excellent shape and came on time,,packaged perfectly.

As stated

I got this for a friend for Christmas and he LOVES IT. Before I sent it I took a sneak peak and I will definitely be buying myself a set. We are both artists and I can't stress how important it is to have on hand references and guides from books and not just the internet. Over all he said the book helped him see a lot and he has grown to understand what his works need/ needs less of. Perfect for what he's been struggling with.

This is a beautifully illustrated book demonstrating artists' strategies to create depth in paintings. While it does not focus on the use of perspective grids, as used in architectural and detailed drawing, the illustrations and descriptions demonstrate different ways to create depth. Included are one- two-, three- and four-point perspective, as well as worm's eye view, and bird's eye views, along with other strategies such as foreshortening, atmospheric perspective, and use of shadows and other artistic techniques. Also included are a variety of ways to "break the rules" of traditional perspective. The tutorials sections brings out additional detailed teaching, showing the process of creating a drawing or painting using perspective. Finally, in the gallery, the artists discuss their own works.

I would have given this book 5 stars were it not for the fact that it is geared to digital artists. For me, it was largely a waste of money. The book is stunning. It is a first-class, professional publication. But they should make it clear that it is of little value to artists who work with live media.

Exactly what I needed

Book is absolutely stunning and incredibly helpful highly recommend to artists to use.

I am working through this book. I find it excellent, especially in conjunction with the two perspective volumes by Marcos Mateu-Mestre. The bok even has a tutorial by arguably the best illustrator in the world at present, Guweiz.

An excellent resource for learning how to handle perspectives in artwork and how to apply it along with other techniques to achieves a tangible sense of depth. This is a very good combination of the two the book also explains how to achieve a sense of depth with very different perspective choices, something that can be overlooked in other material.

Beautiful quality and comprehensive explanations.

The Artists Master Series is very easy to understand and a well distilled pool of knowledge, the tutorials are also very easy to follow if you’re into that, but it’s so well explained you can use your own images as reference following the tutorials and the steps you learned along the way

Awesome book, very insightfull

Super
