Personally I think that the perspective drawing handbook is better for mastering perspective in general. This book is better for mastering vehicle drawing above all else

Going through any will help tremendously if you are struggling. Don’t really worry about which book you use.

Scott Robertson is extremely autistic about perspective. His book covers technical and mechanical design. It's basically computational geometry with how precise he gets with it. I'd recommend something a lil more accessible if you're a complete beginner so you don't get overwhelmed.

It's a very good book which shows some neat tricks you rarely find anywhere else. It's also very in-depth tho. Basically more suited for industrial designers than for artists. Still definitely worth looking into tho.

I have this book and it's an amazing book about technical design drawing i.e. how do you draw up a 1:1 of things you want to make or just wonder how they would look if they existed
It does not deal with the more artistic aspects of drawing
I would not recommend it unless you want to learn very technical drawing or you're struggling to get good at perspective/scale

incredibly autistic approach to drawing. how to render is better.

Working through this book will give you some seriously solid fundamentals. The people complaining that it takes the "joy out of art" need to post their fucking work. The truth is you can have fun by drawing anime or whatever in between exercises from the book.

It all depends on your art goals. If you are going to be doing a lot of environments, vehicles, and technical, detailed drawing or mechs, this one is probably best.Otherwise, it's extremely dry and autistic, and you can get all you'll ever need from Perspective Made Easy or any other more straightforward books.

I studied it along the other resources given in the curriculum. It was fucking tough but in the end I was able to replicate the techniques. Nowadays I base my illustrations from my own maquettes so I don't have to suffer with perspective or values or anything of that matter. Study it it's great.

The most interesting part of this book is the mirroring planes. Otherwise I didn't care much, but the mirroring techniques are really cool.
