This document provides information about drawing rotated cubes in 5-point perspective at angles of 30-60 degrees and 15-75 degrees. It includes diagrams demonstrating how to draw the front, side, and top views of a rotated cube with the major and minor axes labeled at each angle. The document also contains information about Massimo Marrazzo's book on linear and curvilinear perspective drawings with 4-5-6 vanishing points, shadows, reflections, and freehand sketching techniques.

A complete manual of Perspective from 0 to 6 vanishing point, including the curvilinear perspective.
Drawings are step by step, without long descriptions.
Learn how draw in one, two and three-point linear perspective.
Master the curvilinear perspective with four, five and six vanishing points.
Sketch futuristic cars or the ultimate mp3 player by freehand technique.
Have fun with anamorphic projections and stereo drawings for a 3D effects.
Circles, shadows, people, reflections, and much more.
In just one book the best tricks to drawing precise and fast perspectives.
There is also a 5 languages Dictionary and Terminology page. (Italiano, English, Español, Français, Deutsch).
The book is 312 pages in 16 chapters. The book is in Italian.

In the book you can find perspective drawings with 4, 5 and 6 vanishing points.
And much more: shadows, reflections, human figure, tips,...
Learn visually
This book for the moment is in Italian but the drawings are step by step, so you don't need to read.
Anyway there is a dictionary in 5 languages (Italian, English, Spanish, French, German) to translate words in the case.
