  "PERSPECTIVE! FOR COMIC BOOK ARTIST"

       BY DAVID CHELSEA

THIS BOOK IS ONE OF THE BEST ART BOOKS IVE EVER PURCHASED. ITS LAID OUT LIKE A COMIC BOOK, FULLY ILLUSTRATED, WITH CLEAR  INSTRUCTIONAL DETAIL ON THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF DRAWING WITH PERSPECTIVE. WE FOLLOW DAVID AS HE TRIES TO PUT PERSPECTIVE IN LAYMANS TERMS FOR HIS PAL, AND FELLOW ARTIST, MUGG. MUGG IS THE COFFEE CUP FACED FELLOW SEEN FLYING THE PLANE ON THE COVER ABOVE. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MAY BE ILLUSTRATORS THAT HAVE HAD TO STAY UP LONG HOURS DRAWING TO MEET A DEADLINE, WHICH I HAVE DONE COUNTLESS TIMES, YOU MAY HAVE FOUND THAT IT CAN'T BE DONE WITHOUT COFFEE. COFFEE IS EVERY ILLUSTRATORS BEST FRIEND ON THOSE LONG NIGHTS HUNCHED OVER THE DRAWING BOARD, SO DAVIDS FRIEND MUGG IS A BIG PLUS TO THE RADNESS OF THIS BOOK, AT LEAST THAT'S MY OPINION. ANYWAY, DAVID AND MUGG WALK US THROUGH A WONDERFULLY  ILLUSTRATED WORLD OF PERSPECTIVE WHERE WE LEARN ABOUT DEPTH CUES, THE PICTURE PLANE, THE HORIZON AND VANISHING POINT, CUBES IN SPACE, ONE, TWO AND THREE POINT PERSPECTIVE, CIRCLES IN PERSPECTIVE, THE HUMAN FIGURE AND SHORTCUTS. IT MAY SEEM LIKE A LOT TO TAKE IN, AND IT IS, BUT IF YOU STICK WITH DAVID AND MUGG YOU WILL BE THE BETTER FOR IT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A COMIC BOOK ARTIST TO BENEFIT FROM THIS BOOK. I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH "PERSPECTIVE!" HAS IMPROVED MY DRAWING AND INK SKILLS ALL AROUND. BUY THIS BOOK, STUDY IT AND STUDY IT AGAIN, AND THEN BUY "EXTREME PERSPECTIVE! FOR ARTIST" DAVIDS NEWEST BOOK TO HIT THE SHELVES.
