Book Reviews of Drawing the Head and Figure

Book Review: Not So Good
Summary: 2 Stars

This book seems a bit old-fashioned in it's exercises and drawing suggestions. Even the examples of women's faces look like heads of women from the 50's. Maybe it is from the 50's originally. Anyway, it is dated.

The layout is messy and the faces cartoonish.
I am hoping to find some helpful tips on drawing the human figure but I am not too optimistic so far.

I'd say skip this book as I am sure there are much better ones out there.

If you don't have it check out Drawing for Dummies, it is a MUCH BETTER instructional guide than this one.
