Reviews
This book has been around, and recommended, for decades. There is a reason for that. The principles of drawing have not changed. Particularly helpful is the section on drawing the figure in perspective.I would consider it a "must read" for artists. Full of illustrations that demonstrate the tips and techniques explained. The book is a nice size, and the illustrations are large... one thing I hate is a tiny illustration that obscures detail and wastes valuable space in a book... but this book does not have that problem.
