Title: you won't learn to draw people from this book
Product review: This book is mainly a group of images with the author discussing how to draw them step by step. However, there are very few tips about "how" to successfully draw them. The biggest tip in this book, which is repeated several times, is the number of head lengths in an adult or child's body, which IS a good tip, however I'd have expected manymore. The rest of the "tips" are more like: "draw this and be careful not to..." or "when sketching this use the negative space to find the shapes" - these are all good tips, if you're in a classroom with a teacher who is pointing at your drawing, but not helpful or useful in a book. This book is light on information.Finally, the thing that made me realize this just wasn't going to work was the fact that the author's drawings aren't really that good, in particular the faces are not drawn accurately to the photo images.I'm sure there are better books out there.
