<br/><br/> In this guide the artist focuses on the human form, utilizing a broad range of subjects--young and old, male and female, clothed and unclothed--in a variety of postures, from formal poses to everyday poise during activities such as reading, shopping, and sleeping. An expansive section is devoted to the drawing of heads and faces, and the book ends with a tutorial on drawing statues--an ideal way to learn how to draw the human form.
