Art Fundamentals: Color, Light, Composition, Anatomy, Perspective, and Depth Review: Love this book - I have a large library of art and art instruction books and this one has to be one of my favorite. I was a bit concerned about the ambitious scope of the material when I was deciding whether I should buy it or not. I'm happy to say that the authors did an amazing job covering all the topics with just the right level of detail. The quality of the book itself and the illustrations is excellent, which makes this book not only very informative, but also turns it into a source of artistic inspiration. I'd recommend it to any serious art student, especially to those who've set their sights on the entertainment art industry. Review: The tool you need!! :D - I'm not very good in proportion, in perspective or composition, I've always find it hard to mix them all together to get the final piece. I saw this book and i wasn't sure if this was the one that i needed or if it was explained correctly so i decided to take a chance and try it. When it arraived I opened it immediatly and started reading it. By the time I realized it, I was on chapter 3 and I was understanding perfectly what I was missing on my art that I never got to understood very much. I saw examples of what they were explaining and I never got confused by weird or peculiar words that sometimes makes it sound so professional that you have no idea what's going on X'D I highly recommend it because this is a very usefull tool for you to understand the aspects of designing a character or environment like the pros do. :D All that's left is to keep doing it and practice and practice and practice to get even better :D ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,237,179 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #421 in Art Encyclopedias #794 in Arts & Photography Study & Teaching #1,111 in Graphic Design Color Use | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 228 Reviews | ## Images ![Art Fundamentals: Color, Light, Composition, Anatomy, Perspective, and Depth - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pac-K5Q6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this book *by T***I on January 20, 2014* I have a large library of art and art instruction books and this one has to be one of my favorite.

Below is my brief summary of the actually written content. The first chapter on "Color and Light" is about 25 pages long. It is written by Gilles Beloeil (Assassin's Creed). Obviously, 25 pages (when there are lots of images included) isn't enough to go into great detail--but he does introduce several key concepts and he provides some very good images to illustrate his points. I wish this chapter was longer because what it does contain is very good! In short, I feel this is the best chapter of the whole book. The second chapter on "Composition" is about 30 pages long. Most of the chapter deals with the Golden Ratio and how it is applied. While this is an important compositional device I was a bit surprised that so much of the chapter was devoted to this single theme and the mathematical approaches used in constructing it. The last few pages of this chapter do include material on topics such as rhythm, point of interest, size and ratio, light contrast, and five rules for creating a thumbnail--but the material is very brief. At the end of this chapter I felt a bit disappointed. The third chapter is on "Perspective and Depth" and it is about 25 pages long. It does a good job of showing the different types of perspective, but if you are hoping to learn how to draw in perspective I don't think this book will do it for you. The last couple pages briefly touch on topics such as using light and color to show depth--but it does not go into much detail. Once again, I was hoping for more. The fourth chapter is on "Anatomy" and it is 76 pages long--basically as long as the first three chapters combined. It includes a lot of drawings (see the video). If you are hoping for step-by-step instruction you may be disappointed--but the diagrams and written information are good. The last chapter is the "Reference Gallery" and it 100 pages long. Many of the images do contain a reference back to some key concept mentioned in the first four chapters. Personally, I would prefer fewer pages in this chapter and more pages in the first three chapters since there are already numerous books, magazines, and websites that display contemporary work. Bottom line: Overall, this is a good book and some of the parts are very good. It does introduce a lot of important art concepts. I just wish some of the areas were covered in more depth. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4090781-art-fundamentals-color-light-composition-anatomy-perspective-and-depth](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4090781-art-fundamentals-color-light-composition-anatomy-perspective-and-depth) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
