Does anyone know of any good perspective drawing resources and books? I've been having a tough time trying to draw in perspective. Any help would be fabolous!

Wishing you all inspiration and production!

There are a few perspective assignments in my Concept Art 101 thread in my sig, but they're meant to go along with other information on perspective. Unfortunately I don't know of any particular book to point you to.

Try this (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=97134) recent thread. I have a ton of perspective books, and I have to say Perspective for Comic Book Artists is my fav. It covers more and is an extremely entertaining, read-for-fun! perspective book.

As a practical exercise, making studies of architecture is possibly the best practice for drawing in perspective.

The cube contortion exercises in Seedling's Concept Art 101 thread are excellent. Once you have a basic understanding of the techniques, doing these drills will be of great benefit.

here's a good website that has a ton of stuff about perspective.

it's a little hard to read through, but good info.

i agree with others that "Perspective! for Comic Book Artists" is great.
also, "Perspective Made Easy" by Ernest R. Norling
