A comprehensive guide to mastering perspective in your drawing.
'...by far the best primer [on perspective] I've ever seen. If you have other books, throw them away and buy this. You won't regret it.' Artbookreview.net (about the previous edtion)

Master essential perspective drawing techniques in this small, simple and straightforward guide by well-respected artist and tutor, Tim Fisher.

Beginning with a fascinating history of perspective in art and the key materials you'll need, the key principles of perspective such as zero-point, single-point, two-point and multipoint perspectives are then explored. Approachable exercises support each precept - ranging from simple box diagrams through to complex scenes - and allow you to study and practise each technique easily and with gradual difficulty. Through application, the reader can understand how to create the illusion of space and three-dimensionality in their own work.

Myriad subjects are explored throughout the book, including buildings, landscapes, people, animals, boats and reflections. Expert advice on drawing curved objects and inclined planes, a run-down of common mistakes and an inspirational chapter looks beyond a rigid application of the rules to draw your scenes freely and instinctively.

This is a revitalized edition of Drawing Masterclass: Perspective (Search Press, 2017).

Industry Reviews

This book is incredible. I highly recommend it. Easy to read with detailed, clear and simple guidance. The accompanying drawings and sketches are plentiful and clearly show what is being discussed. The author covers areas such as single-point perspective, multi-point perspective, varying perspective and other essential instruction for novice artists like myself such as placing shadows and reflections and people perspective. I have quite a collection of drawing and painting books and this is one of the best. I love drawing buildings but they have always seemed a 'bit off' but I know by following the rules in this book I will be able to achieve the outcomes I want with my art work

Updated from the popular Drawing Masterclass series, Drawing Perspective, by Leisure Painter consultant, Tim Fisher, shows you how to create convincing drawings of three-dimensional spaces with easy-to-follow instructions. Zero-point, single-point and multi-point perspective are all covered alongside measurement, proportion, scale and varying perspective, with chapters devoted to specific subjects: people, animals, boats, shadows, reflections, skies and seas, inclined planes and curved perspective. The book concluded with chapters on how to overcome common mistakes and how to free-up your drawing style to draw perspective intuitively. Numerous exercises throughout the book encourage you to work through stages to practise what you have learnt.

This book is excellent as it explains perspective in fine detail. I am following the instructions in some of the chapters and learning so much.
