Manuale che consiglio a chi vuole capire ed imparare o approfondire il disegno, la descrizione è accurata e le foto sono chiare nei particolari.

When in college, I received excerpts from this book for my portraiture class and picked this book up a couple of years later to get back into the swing of drawing again. It is a fantastic book. Burne Hogarth is a master of the human form and it really shows in every one of his drawings.
Please take into account that I would not reccommend this book for a beginner. Hogarth’s descriptions can be wordy and very complicated; if you are a beginner and would like to try your hand at portraiture I would not pick up this book to start. However, I found it very useful when preparing my portfolio to apply for my Animation diploma as it allows drawing of the head from all angles, adding a 3D structure in which to form the head and face around.
Hogarth continuously states in his book that it will not make you a master but give you a basic understanding of the fundamentals of how the face works and it really works. The simple structures he uses can be difficult to get used to but I honestly can’t see myself drawing the human head any other way now. His format is much easier and much more solid to follow.
