Thoughts on Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Series?

>> No.3247753

>>3247751
It's a realy fun way to learn perspective.

Great stuff. Gets pretty deep compared to your average book. It really benefits from designing your own homework. I like his stories and how they apply to technical shit like the ellipse tool economy. Practicality is underrated.

Isn't he making a new series?

Vandruff gives a practical approach to perspective while Olson gives you the full picture

The biggest way to waste money is incrementally with the poor man's rationalization of "it's just $X" or "it's only $Y". You're an idiot, and what's more it doesn't matter if it's $1, it's incredibly backwards to take an old recording of ordinary 40 minute long entry-level /beg/-tier college lectures and then try and sell it at all. This is $12, Perspective Made Easy is public domain. There is no choice between the two then.

>>3247751
Pic related. I was trying to be amicable when I wrote it but I really do think it's nothing short of asinine to take some backlog footage and then chalk it up as "passive income" by taking advantage of people too unwitting to find better alternatives for cheaper. It's better to benefit the greatest amount of people for free than the fewest possible for chump change, which is what he's chosen to do (and still failed at it since it's up on CGPeers and elsewhere at no one's expense except his). Otherwise you're just desperately trying to replace the information age with the dark age.

I heard that his lessons are actually based on the "Perspective Drawing Handbook" which was written by Joseph D'Amelio.

You can just download that book here.

http://www.floobynooby.com/pdfs/Perspective_Drawing_Handbook-JosephDAmelio.pdf

I think even though this perspective book is probably not as advanced as Scott Robertson's perspective in his "how to draw" book, it's more advanced then "perspective made easy".

the book is the most compact and best thing you can read regarding perspective imo.
