Industrial designer and sketching pro Spencer Nugent has released "The Perspective Drawing Guide: Simple Techniques for Mastering Every Angle," a 168-page illustrated tome that should find its place on every ID student's desk.

"Perspective drawing is the foundation for creating art that pops off the page. This is the ultimate guide to helping aspiring artists understand and develop techniques to draw confidently using the power of perspective. While mastering perspective can take years, this book will provide understanding of why things look the way they do and how to draw them accurately and confidently."

"In The Perspective Drawing Guide: Simple Techniques for Mastering Every Angle, designer and teacher Spencer Nugent takes a fundamental approach and gives tips, tricks, and techniques that enable readers to draw more confidently by breaking down objects into easier to draw shapes, showing the mechanics of perspective, and demonstrating how to make drawings presentation ready. This guide is perfect for beginning artists looking to develop their perspective drawing abilities or even seasoned artists wanting to sharpen their skills."

With books like this I always recommend picking up a hard copy, and the paperback rings in at just $23. For students strapped for cash (but who somehow had the cash to buy a tablet), there's also a Kindle version for $12.
