Synopsis

Norling argues that perspective is straightforward once a few simple laws are understood, and he builds the subject from the essentials upwards. Using 256 illustrations, he explains key ideas such as the horizon, the vanishing point and the relationship between eye level and perspective drawing, with an emphasis on clarity and immediate application.

The guidance extends to placing figures and objects, drawing interiors, and handling shade and shadows, with important points revisited so they become second nature. Written as a simple, nontechnical guide, it is intended to help artists develop a practical command of perspective in a relatively short time.
