4.0 out of 5 stars
Great little reference book!,
By Michael D. Nicola (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Figures: Red Series (Hardcover)
I bought this book just prior to taking a figure drawing class in college. While this book doesn't get in too deep with respect to the hands-on techniques of figure drawing, it did prove nonetheless to be a great little reference book throughout the class. It covers materials and media used for figure drawing, a brief look at figure drawing throughout human history, and various techniques for drawing including: composition, geometry, colour, and perspective. And because of it's diminitive size, it was ideal for keeping in my tool box whenever I went to class.If you're looking for a hands-on drawing tutorial, then this book may not be for you. But, if you need a good little reference that you can keep in your tool box (or back pack) or on your studio book case, then you should definitely consider this little gem! Well worth it, in my opinion.

Not very useful,

This review is from: Figures: Red Series (Hardcover)
This book covers materials and techniques more than actual figure drawing. If you're looking for anatomical diagrams or reference look elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive but concise--excellent overview and resource,
By Hedera Femme - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Figures: Red Series (Hardcover)
This book's purpose is not strictly anatomical; it is an extremely concise overview of the figure in art. The perspectives include historical approaches, color, technique, demonstrations, diagrams, photos of nudes, tools, and varied media. It is an excellent resource for someone looking to cover everything quickly and is a great intro to figure drawing, and with its fast-paced approach, it gives the beginner/intermediate artist a great jumping-off point. The exercises are very helpful, the illustrations are just right, and the book covers pretty much everything. The colorful illustrations, fantastic explanations, and detailed text make this a great addition to the beginning artist's library.
