Cartoonist Dongho Kim has been dedicated to his work, working primarily on urban sketches. Instead of stopping at depicting scenery, he has created stories by filling these spaces with imaginary characters. After gaining a deep understanding of space and the placement of different parts and elements through this process, Kim has reached a point where he can teach the long-passed-down theory of perspective and point of view using his own illustrations. This version is a translation of the Korean book that accomplished that very feat.
This book is suitable for beginner and intermediate level artists who find it difficult to transpose a real-life space onto a flat surface, not necessarily for top-level experts. When teaching established theories, the author explains in detail every step that the reader needs to take to be able to reach the conclusion intuitively. Considering the relationship between the observer and the object that is being drawn is a crucial step before the pencil even touches the paper. In doing so, the artist is already filling the blank sheet with accurate virtual spaces. The two characters in this book offer to take our hands and walk us through this process.
This book begins with a deep dive into eye levels and vanishing points and then moves onto basic perspectives and to more complex perspectives such as the “fish-eye perspective,” using many of the author’s illustrations as examples. He also includes photographs and sketches from his travels to further the reader’s understanding. We are also given warnings of common mistakes that students make that come from his vast lecturing experience. Written in detail and plain language as if the reader were a student in class learning directly from the author, as was his intention, this book is a wonderful introductory resource to understanding space and being able to draw any space freely.

◎ 亞馬遜書店讀者評價4顆星！
好想試著畫一些插圖，可是卻不知道該怎麼畫才好，你是否也曾有這樣的感覺呢？我想大家都曾在心情好的時候不經意地哼起歌來吧？那時候根本不會管自己的發聲方法正不正確。畫插圖也是一樣，就算不能像插畫家畫的一樣好也沒關係，只要動筆將自己心裡所想的畫出來就行了。
◎ 閱讀本書，學習插畫的思考方式。仔細觀察身邊人或物的形狀。
◎ 在「TRY」的部分實際運筆挑戰。可以直接畫在書上，也可以準備一本素描簿。
◎ 試著模仿書上出現的圖案畫在素描簿上。「Sample Gallery」中有很多範例圖案。
對你而言，動筆畫出心中所想的圖案可能並不是件容易的事，但本書中介紹了許多在繪製插圖時很實用的思考方式，你可以把書放在手邊，慢慢一點一點地嘗試用鉛筆畫圖。書中「TRY」的部分是讓你練習用的，請以塗鴉的心情隨興描繪，也可以畫在其他如畫冊等的紙張上。「TRY」的部分並不是要你畫下100%正確的答案。隨興才是最重要的。
如果畫得不是很滿意的話，就試著多畫一些自己喜歡的圖案。慢慢地，你就可以照著自己的心意動筆畫出想要的圖案了。請放鬆肩膀，用屬於你自己的步調享受畫畫的樂趣吧！

This gorgeous, fully illustrated handbook tells the story of sketchnotes--why and how you can use them to capture your thinking visually, remember key information more clearly, and share what you've captured with others. Author Mike Rohde shows you how to incorporate sketchnoting techniques into your note-taking process--regardless of your artistic abilities--to help you better process the information that you are hearing and seeing through drawing, and to actually have fun taking notes. The Sketchnote Handbook explains and illustrates practical sketchnote techniques for taking visual notes at your own pace as well as in real time during meetings and events. Rohde also addresses most people's fear of drawing by showing, step-by-step, how to quickly draw people, faces, type, and simple objects for effective and fast sketchnoting. The book looks like a peek into the author's private sketchnote journal, but it functions like a beginner's guide to sketchnoting with easy-to-follow instructions for drawing out your notes that will leave you itching to attend a meeting just so you can draw about it.
