Write a reviewthe introduction is beautifully written, book is over 312 pages of instruction and illustrations
Having bought a book on anatomy for artists, I got very bogged down with bones and muscles and found my drawings were still quite flat and lifeless. This book is more about form and the process of building a 3D structure. Its early days, but helping enormously at my life drawing classes.
Covers all the fundamentals using different media and surfaces
Has a beautifully written introduction
