Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Perspective, the author tells us, is easy; yet surprisingly few artists are aware of the simple rules that make it so. This easy-to-follow book—the first devoted entirely to clarifying the laws of perspective—remedies the situation. In it, the author uses over 250 simple line drawings to illustrate the concepts involved.
Beginning with clear, concise, immediately applicable discussions of the horizon, vanishing point, and the crucial relationship of eye level to perspective drawing, you'll learn how to place figures and objects in a drawing, depict interiors, create shade and shadows, and achieve all the other elements necessary for a successful perspective drawing. By repeatedly stressing important points, Mr. Norling teaches you to make them second-nature. Moreover, his approach is so simple and direct that no matter how little raw talent or experience you have, you will soon be able to apply these techniques almost instinctively.
Mastery of perspective is a basic skill every artist must have. This simple, nontechnical guide will enable you to master its essentials in a relatively short time. Clear and concise, this book is an essential addition to any artist's bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Perspective Book You Will Ever Need!
Like many budding artists I have struggled with perspective over the years, and had settled into the belief that "I've pretty much got it". But when I began doing some urban sketching recently, I realized I didn't have it. So, I started looking around for books and videos on the subject. In looking at reviews of various books on Bolo I saw this book mentioned a couple times as the only book you'll ever need on perspective. I checked it out, ordered it and ended up getting the kindle version as well.It's definitely all I'll ever need regarding perspective. It was written in a simpler time back in 1939, and its examples and illustrations are dated but still perfect from the standpoint of demonstration and an excellent balance between his text and his example drawings and illustrations.After viewing instructional videos and other books on the subject, I was actually amazed at how Mr. Norlong was able to write so succinctly and say so much in such a small book. He covers the basics as well as the more "complicated" concepts related to circles and ellipses. And all his examples are real examples, not things that you'll likely never draw.The book could actually be used in a course room, not only because it is so readable and easily understandable, but because he gives you simple assignments at the end of each chapter to ensure you practice what you were just taught, thus making it much easier to remember the information.Don't hesitate in buying this book. It will surely become one of your favorite books in your art reference library.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative material! Applause for beginners and referential for advanced students!! 👏
This paperback came in handy when certain drawing guidelines were so perplexing in lecture class. For some reason, these chapters that I read (still reading), were concise, thorough and informative; therefore, I'm really sold out on this book! So, if you're interested in general drawing sketches, or drafting architectural references, this is your book to start on perspective drawing! Please don't skip another semester without it!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Explains better than most books
Great book that explains how Perspective a little better than most books I've read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for artists, drafting, perspective drawings and illustrators.
Great book easy to read and follow, classic in the subject and clear explanations with lots of excellent drawings. Highly recommended for artists, drafting, perspective drawings and illustrators.
5.0 out of 5 stars Simple but helpful introduction to perspective!
Seems easily digestible so far! I really like the author’s approach to explaining, it really feels like I’m his student. I think this book is geared towards beginners which I totally am a noob when it comes to perspective drawing. I thought I’d post pages from different chapters to show you how it progresses. It’s more inviting than other perspective books I have that’s for sure lol. I think it’s a great friendly start as I don’t feel overwhelmed by each page turn like I do other books. If you’re already very familiar with perspective and want something more advanced maybe don’t pick this up. Scott robertson’s how to draw book might serve you better in that case.
3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great.
Book is great!But it arrived with a scratched and dirty book cover.
Guidebook on perspective
Perceptive Made Easy is a fascinating book that demystifies the art of perception, breaking down complex cognitive processes into digestible, actionable insights. Whether you’re an artist, strategist, or someone navigating the nuances of composition (digital painting, photography, drawing...), this book is a valuable resource
THE ONLY BOOK ON PERSPECTIVE YOU WILL EVER NEED
Absolutely fantastic instruction book on perspective for artists. Published originally in 1939, still available thank goodness because it tells you EVERYTHING you could ever need to know about perspective. Also very clear and good diagrams/graphics
Väl värt väntan
Leveranstiden vart lång. Något jag först inte uppmärksammade vid beställningen, och hade jag gjort det är det troligt att jag hade beställt en annan bok istället. Men jag är glad över att så inte blev fallet! Helt klart värt väntan. En fantastisk liten bok, med många tydliga illustrationer där man utan att behöva läsa texten ändå får ut mycket information ur. Det är en enkel. Äldre bok. Inte alls flashig, eller särskilt tjusig. Författaren har verkligen lagt krutet på att förenkla och förtydliga det som är perspektiv. Den är inte överväldigande, vilket jag så ofta upplevt tidigare. När det kommer till att lära sig, och förstå perspektiv. Det simpla och tydliga är det som gör boken så värdefull.Kan definitivt se att detta är en bok jag kommer återkomma till, om och om igen, under min resa att lära mig teckna och måla bättre. Kan starkt rekommendera.
Le titre qui dit tout.
La perspective, un nom qui faisait peur dans mes brouillons de BD et autres gribouillis amateurs...Il fallait s'y attaquer un jour ou l'autre... Alors je me décide finalement pour ce livre aux allures de vieux manuel, recommandé partout où je cherche des conseils...En le feuilletant, on se rend compte que c'est presque d'une facilité déconcertante. 20 étapes détaillées pour connaître toutes les lois de la perspective. Et c'est... facile.Le livre est en anglais, mais très facile à lire, parfois les illustrations suffisent tellement c'est facile à comprendre.Je me joins à la masse de gens qui en font la Bible de la perspective et qui disent qu'on n'a pas fait mieux depuis 1939.
