I had never invested a ton of time into learning perspective and learning it to an acceptable level over the years has been a challenge. So I started on my journey of understanding, 1 point, 2 point, 3 point perspectives and what tools are out there that can help and guide me. Here are the results of my research. I hope it saves you some effort.

My top recommendation for beginners: “Perspective for Comic Book Artists” after seeing some solid reviews on it I snapped it up. What caught my attention was a review from a art major who said he learned more from the book then in his art classes.  It is a excellent book and teaches you to think a certain way when taking on the challenge of a scene.

If you are digital and creating comics: Clip Studio Pro is a great starting point and has perspective grids at such a great price! I have upgraded to the full version, it is worth every penny.

Already have a base knowledge of perspective? “Vanishing Point: Perspective for Comics from the Ground Up”. I have not totally dived into it, but looks insane and take about a sphere based perspective… brain melted at that point.

Drawing Dynamic Comics by Andy Smith really knocked it out of the park with this book. It is the Swiss army knife of comic drawing and has a few pages on perspective.

Here are some of my favorite utubes….
