Description
A brief summary of the principles of perspective drawing. I've adapted this from the much more in-depth section of "Mastering Manga," in which I devote fourteen pages to explaining the rules, offering examples, and guiding students in three detailed step-by-step lessons allowing you to draw different environments (street scene, room interior, and sci-fi space station) using each type of perspective."Mastering Manga" will be out in paperback on March 8. You can pre-order the book at bn.com: [link]
And Amazon: [link]
It is available in ebook form right now: Kindle, Nook, or iPad. Your local bookstore should be able to get the book in for you if you ask them to.

Awesome! We just started learning about perspective in my drawing class this week. I should totally get the teacher to show this to the class on his fancy-schmancy semi-broken projector.

Good start.
I'm always iffy about how-to books. But this might be worth a glance.

It might even be worth two glances.

Maybe!
Although at the moment I'm trying to avoid stylizing, and am trying to focus more on life studies and the boring stuff (which I personally don't find so boring!)
But after I feel ready to start studying how other artist stylize, I may (probably) buy your book, along with many other books (whether comics or more fine art) on artists I admire.

Just throwing this out there... I don't want to eat at sales of your new manga book.. (Is it yours?)
But it would be worth mentioning that John Montague has a very nice 300 page book on perspective drawing called "Basic Perspective Drawing: A Visual Approach"
It's all visually presented... not a lot of walls of text. It's all very simple and it's full of examples... on every type of perspective... from beginner, easy stuff... to really advanced.

I was wandering how three point perspective was done...
And will Mastering Manga be avaliable in UK book stores or is just just on Amazon at the moment?

re:"will Mastering Manga be avaliable in UK book stores" --I'd say ask your local bookstore to see if they'll be carrying it. I sincerely hope it will be in bookstores in a great many countries.
