Book Reviews of The Artist's Complete Guide to Figure Drawing: A Contemporary Perspective on the Classical Tradition

Book Review: eye opening
Summary: 5 Stars

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn the correct way to draw the human figure in an accurate and realistic way. I went to art school in the early eighties and was never taught this approach to drawing and now that I have read this book my life drawing skills have improved immensely.
