I only know one regarding perspective for comic book arists, but that's probaby not what you are searching for.

Hi,

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before, but the search wasn't working out for me so I thought I'd ask:

Can anyone recommend a truly good book or resource regarding perspective drawing? (architectural, interior, mechanical perspective - those aspects)

If not a book, a good website?

Thanks,

Grim

There is an excellent book on perspective by Earnest Norling. The copy that I have was published in '86, but it's much older than that. If I had to guess, I'd say it was probably drawn in the late '50s or early '60s. This quote from Amazon says it best:

Quote:

Though it is printed as part of the somewhat lowbrow Walter T. Foster How-to series, the author is a true authority - he also wrote the article on perspective for the Encyclopedia Brittanica

Perspective Drawing - Ernest Norling

Low brow? That's a shame they're perceived like that. There's really good knowledge in those books, especially considering that the original texts they're excerpting from are usually out of print.

I can't even count the number of excellent artists that started out with the Famous Artists School texts...

It's interesting to note that the Andrew Loomis figure drawing book was #191 in this same series. Lowbrow indeed.
