This little book is full of inspiration and tips to draw people in the “wild”. It includes more sketches than text which I like in an art book. Roisin’s style is more illustrative than realistic. You’ll learn to how to capture the likeness and energy of a person in your drawing with Roisin’s tips and some practice.

As a beginner who has read quite a few art and drawing books in the past year, I found this book especially helpful and inspiring. I loved her tips on how to conquer your fears drawing people in public. Also, the section on proportions and the quick chart on the differences between older adults/adults/children were especially helpful. I would recommend this book to anyone who finds drawing people challenging.

I ordered this book to help me think about new ways to capture the moment with my drawings. Sketching faster is so freeing and the suggestions in this book are practical and very helpful. I also like the way it is divided into sections to help the reader prepare goal setting.

Een niet gemakkelijk boek in het Engels over het tekenen van figuren.
Komt er niet duidelijk uit naar voren!
Jammer!

Another fine addition to this series. Roisin Cure is one of my favorite Urban Sketching teacher/ambassadors. In this guide, she uses examples from her work, as well as others, to show the reader how to include casual figures to fully capture an urban scene. She offers tons of helpful tips and makes drawing people fun and completely unintimidating. Definitely a great little guide for urban sketchers and illustrators.

Roisin Cure is a wonderful sketch and offers a lot of tips on how to grab expressions of people quickly. Many tips on how to select a subject, sketching groups, hands, faces, skin tones, proportions and the list goes on. Very worth purchasing. I would also purchase Roisin’s other book “An Urban Sketcher’s GALLWAY” .

Not a full sized book therefore the pictures and example sketches are rather on the small size. Okay book I guess but there are better ones out there. This had potential until it was made into a small edition.
