      Really interesting article! For anyone curious about perspective in art, see the book "Perspective Made Easy" by Ernest Norling. It is easy to follow and has simple helpful exercises.

      A more technical and challenging book is "How to Draw" by Scott Robertson. That one is good if you want more technical theory understanding (plus the illustrations are amazing).
