This is a good book to fix that issue. It contains quite a bit of actual - very easy - exercises to help you learn perspective. It can even be appropriate for an elementary school child -- somewhere between 8 and above. if they like to read or are very interested in art.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This book is a must have for beginners learning perspective drawingBy Zoie DeeFor a class assignment. I was to do a one point perspective drawing. Without having any experience with perspective drawing. I found it intimidating. However. I came across "Perspective Without Pain" by Phil Metzger. His Step-by-Step approach made more sense to me and as a result I did well on my drawing. The book pointed out otherwise difficult concepts. and made them easier to understand. I would recommend this book to anyone but particularly to a beginner because there are examples and explanations through out the book that are easy to follow.
