5.0 out of 5 stars
Indespensible perspective reference:,
This review is from: Perspective Drawing Handbook (Paperback)
D'Amelio has laid out the basics of mechanical perspective drawing in easy to follow steps with clear illustrations. Readily adaptable to instruction for the general audience and eminently practical with illustrations for many basic and more complex perspective problems, the text is well organized as well as intertaining. I have used this text to teach perspective in high school drawing classes for 15 years.

Finally, perspective of drawing people, not just railroad tracks!,

This review is from: Perspective Drawing Handbook (Paperback)
Great book for intermediate artists who want to understand drawing people in perspective, i.e. the beach, in an office. Easy to follow explanation and illustrations every page. Covers one point, two point, three point, high angle, low angle, depths (tile floor), ellipses, cast shadows, stairs and most importantly PEOPLE. Go through the 96 pages and you WILL understand perspective. I have looked through many perspective books, most too technical or too easy. This is by far the best.

Slender but D`Amelio really packs it in!,
By Bruce Bain "Romans 9:33/Remember Jackie Robinson" (Englewood, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Perspective Drawing Handbook (Paperback)
"PERSPECTIVE DRAWING HANDBOOK" by Joseph D`Amelio Amelio really packed this book with well-illustrated covering of Perspective in Black & White. Better still, D`Amelio manages to keep text down to the bare essentials, preferring to illustrate the point rather than describe it. Fascinating. Nicely put together, and very concise at 96 pages. I really liked it. Suggested retail at $8.95 this is a good reference, and eminently affordable. It seemed quite deserving of FIVE STARS for making an obscure subject clear to the general public with a direct, no-nonsense approach.
