Customer Reviews

Highly detailed with LOTS of examples and references

This book focuses on drawing the female figure in different angles, poses, and different body types. This author gives lots of explanation on why things are done the way they are and why they made these choices for each drawing. You will need a little bit of knowledge in armature, simplified skeletons, and simplified volumes before working with this book, but it does give good advice to beginners while helping intermediate drawings improve as well. There is also a big focus on perspective, so this book is good for anyone that needs advice on that as well. I would HIGHLY recommend this book.
