Here's the fourth book in the Urban Sketching Handbook series and the author is Stephanie Bower.This 112-page paperback is filled with many practicable tips on perspective drawings and there are lots of wonderful examples from other artists as well. The tips are concise and clear, and examples are accompanied by insightful explanation. Learning perspective does not have to be difficult and in this book it shows you very quick and easy steps to apply perspective concepts to what you see and draw.You get to see beautiful watercolour sketches by Stephanie Bower herself, and also from perspective masters like Michel Gerard, Lapin, Paul Heaston and many more.Prior to putting out this book, Stephanie Bower also has a Craftsy course on perspective called Perspective for Sketchers. If you learn better buy watching videos, that's the course I would recommend. I recognised familiar content from the course that are also included in this book. So if you get the course, this book can serve as a good reference to recap the concepts.Overall, it's a fantastic book for beginners and intermediate artists who like to sketch on location.(See more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)
After reading dozens of books, taking classes, making all sorts of efforts to understand perspective drawing (and failing!), Stephanie's simple, clear instruction and tips has given me many "aha" moments. Really, why isn't perspective always explained so clearly? Everyone always talks about the vanishing point, but never really explained how to find it. Stephanie does. And it's SO easy once you understand. Everyone talks about foreshortening and converging. Stephanie clearly shows how it works and when to use it.The book is filled with a wealth of sketches from urban sketchers all over the world - my only small complaint is that some of the drawings are almost too small to see very well. But, the sketches show many different styles and her accompanying analysis of the sketches is SO helpful.....she identifies the horizon or eye-level line and vanishing point in them and draws your attention to all the reasons the perspective works.The book is small, yet mighty. It's full of pretty pictures, yet educational. It's written simply, yet clearly. It'll be in my sketching bag for quick reference from now on (I've already marked certain passages & folded down pages to return to)!If you've ever struggled with perspective drawing, this is the handbook for you. If you've ever thought "I wish I could draw a building or landscape and have it look more realistic", this is the book for you. Because I'm here to tell you, Stephanie makes it easy to understand.
I have given a lot of thought to how to review this book. The content is excellent and the author deserves five stars, The publisher, however, made a terrible decision regarding the font, the font size, and using weak pale ink on white paper. I have to use a magnifying glass to read it which is ridiculous. The author puts together a very helpful book, then the publisher makes a stupid decision about the font and the ink so it is difficult to read. I have noticed this same thing in some other new books. I hope it is not the trend. I know the business schools now teach making money takes precedence over serving the customer. In this case, the publisher has done a disservice to both the author and to those who are buying her book.
I took Stephanie's Craftsy class and really enjoyed it. There is some overlap but the book also covers a few extra things like reflections, arches and slopes. It's the first time perspective has ever clicked for me. Simple and to the point. I like that I can refer to things quick and that the topics/examples are succinct.
So, alright: I'm a working artist, and I'm as much class-taught as self-taught, and never before have I come across a book that makes perspective this clear. The examples are incredibly clear, and after using the drawings in the book as a guide I re-drew them as small thumbnails to practise -- and it's given me such a better understanding of how to 'read' perspective and how to put it down on paper without losing my mind.
this comment has nothing to do with the content but in the formatting. The series is set up to replicate a small sketchbook but I wish it had been formatted as a larger size sketchbook so that font size was readable. I actually haven't been able to read it yet as the text and pictures are so small. I will have to use a magnifying glass and great light to read it. That in itself is not a handy way to read. Or even if it were available in Kindle I could at least set font size although I have discovered that images in books on Kindle are not usually sizable. I took Stephanie's Craftsy class online and found her teaching very user friendly and hoped to expand my knowledge with this book. I just need to get out my magnifying glass and sit near a window.
The print is so small that I find it too hard to read. I'm sure it's intended to take out into the field and probably has useful information in it, but if I can't read it easily, it's useless.
This would have been a 5 star review if I could read it. The print is small and light. The illustrations are very nice.
This is a very clear explanation of perspective! I have other (more formal, and certainly more "weighty") books on drawing that have long(winded) explanations for perspective that I could sort of understand, but I'd never really had a lightbulb moment as to how I used that information in my actual sketching. Stephanie Bower's book gave me the ah-ha insight I needed! What makes this book so valuable (at least to me) are the MANY examples - every sample is clearly identified and most have identifying lines showing the vanishing point(s) and horizon.
