Customer Reviews

Comprehensive but concise--excellent overview and resource

This book's purpose is not strictly anatomical; it is an extremely concise overview of the figure in art. The perspectives include historical approaches, color, technique, demonstrations, diagrams, photos of nudes, tools, and varied media. It is an excellent resource for someone looking to cover everything quickly and is a great intro to figure drawing, and with its fast-paced approach, it gives the beginner/intermediate artist a great jumping-off point. The exercises are very helpful, the illustrations are just right, and the book covers pretty much everything. The colorful illustrations, fantastic explanations, and detailed text make this a great addition to the beginning artist's library.
