Bought this revised edition of Figure Drawing for Dummies after borrowing it from our local library. It’s a brilliant guide for anyone taking those first steps in anatomical drawing and painting, and a real boon if you are put off by big thick anatomy books full of biological terms and long latin names when really all you want to do is get better at drawing people.
Each chapter is chock full of drawing exercises, handy tips and notes to give you inspiration and direction in your work. Even if you’re a fairly accomplished artist, you’ll find this book helps you lose your built-in preconceptions about figure drawing.

This book is not a bad book. The author explains that this isn’t an anatomy book. You have teach yourself and it may require some research out of the book, but it has a lot of reference material.

This book was extremely useful in helping me to begin to draw figures. Figures are notoriously difficult to do so I wanted a book that would take me through it step by step, this book did it and did it in an interesting way with many techniques demonstrated with drawings that were easy to follow. I would recommend this book to all beginners who wish (like me) to learn to draw well. This is definitely the book to get if you wish to understand figure drawing.

yep… so I bought the exact same book to replace it. I haven’t study the book carefully to talk about the techniques but seems like it is a fun book for you to learn the basic principles of figure drawing.
