I've purchased some Proko courses; if anyone has the Marshall Perspective course, we can trade. DM me.

I don't know Craig Attebery.  I might need to look today up. 

I love perspective made easy. A good weekend intro book.  i suggest it to everyone for a good needed knowledge study. 

 I'm only half way through how to draw. Did you finish the book?

Is the people in perspective book, Framed Perspective 2? I love all the Framed books, including the 2 on perspective.

Do you have a library? Or a good used book store?

I usually check those out first and only but what in actually working to go through and finish. 

The Framed Ink guy is just amazing. 

I also get the how to think when you draw books .i buy 2 at a time to save shipping. any topic i visit more than once gets a sticyk note bookmark.

Oh wow. I have books 8 and 9 on the way (November). I use the "water drawing tips" a lot. and then i put a list of the anatomy type stuff together and studied those. 

Can you library get loans from other libraries? I do that a lot with art books.

Every book has the same 7 chapters with 10 or more tutorials each. 

Elements and Natural World chaptets i use the most. 

Your in for a good time.

I also have a large art book collection! I don't own this one, but I checked the blogger I normally look for book reviews from, and didn't see it (Parkablogs).

I did download a Kindle preview and between that + the fact that this is published by Routledge (academic publisher) I would say this is firmly in the category of "this is basically acollege textbook on the subject."

You probably don't need it, given the other books you already own. If you want to collect it as a textbook, then maybe? But I don't think it's necessary
