I haven’t had time to use these yet because I have been busy. These were highly recommended by a number of artists on the Internet. They were in the top anatomy books and most useful books of all time for these artists. I think they will be very helpful once I can use them. Came exactly as expected.

I think this book illustrates very well how the motion of the human body invigorates our drawing. Well done. I even bought it for a friend who is drawing every day.

Calidad del libro bastante mala para el precio que tiene. Las hojas están pegadas, ni siquiera son cuadernillos con lo cual si lo abres mucho de despegarán las hojas. El contenido es estupendo pero me parece un abuso que se cobre tanto por este libro. Es desproporcionado.

This is a must have book if you are trying to learn how to draw, paint, sculpt, etc. things that are in motion or being affected by something in motion. This book WILL help you take you art to another level. Buy it!

This was a recommended purchase by an artist friend and it is incredible. I’ve always admired Disney artists for their ability to capture the essence of a character in a simple stroke, and this book dives into what that stroke is! Highly, highly recommended.

O conteúdo do livro é bom, mas o aplicativo que da acesso aos vídeos no Brasil não está disponível para download na região, e mesmo baixando o App conectado em outra região, quando você clica para assistir os vídeos o mesmo está indisponível.
Meu maior interesse no livro além do conteúdo era poder assistir as demonstrações para ter o melhor entendimento do assunto, é uma tristeza.

En todas mis clases de dibujo y sesiones de dibujo con modelo se subestima, se da por sentado o se ignora completamente el dibujo gestual. Este libro explica muy bien los conceptos que hay que tomar en cuenta al momento de “sentir” una pose. El libro constantemente habla sobre fuerzas tanto externas como las ejercidas por el cuerpo.
Me encantó la manera en la que te hace analizar la acción y pose del cuerpo de manera en la que no se dibuja una estructura compuesta por varias partes sino un todo interconectado que fluye, en donde cada parte del cuerpo afecta a todo lo demás.
No he visto ningún otro libro que toque tan a fondo el tema de gesture drawing. La mayoría le dedica unas cuantas páginas para ir directo a la construcción y anatomía.
No esperen ilustraciones terminadas, todos son sketches por lo mismo que absolutamente todo el libro es un análisis a fondo sobre el dibujo gestual.
Excelente recurso para animadores, ilustradores y artistas de cómic que quieran inyectarle vida y movimiento a sus dibujos.

if you needed help with stiff poses this will loosen that up with ease. heck it its works wonders with animation and comics.

quick sketching is a useful tool. both ilustrators and representative artists need this tool to detect the gesture of the figure in a coherent manner , force books cover this subject in a easy to understand way . It will help artists to quick sketch the figure either to create from imagination or to interpret a live figure (long paintings , portraits with hands , etc) if someone feels is lacking knowledge in this particular aspect of drawing force series will help you a lot, what i dont like about this book is its physical quality for the price i paid , (almost 50 bucks), i have bought cheaper books which have better quality (pages and cover are extremely thin , almost like the bible), i feel the book will fall apart in any moment . in a nutshell good book , but mediocre physical quality

These books are a really different approach to drawing the human figure and gives a good approach to looking at artistic portrayal of the human form. It is a good way to begin to outline and complete a drawing of the human form.

Wurde vom Lehrer empfohlen und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht.
Lieferung klappte ganz gut.

This book has some amazing instruction and the updated color coding is definitely an improvement on the previous edition. I decided to purchase this book after seeing a friends drastic improvement in his figure drawing upon applying the techniques he learned from this book.
