Reader Reviews
This review is from: Dynamic Anatomy (Practical Art Books) (Paperback)
I cut my teeth on drawing people with Burne Hogarth. He has analyzed the human figure in a brilliant manner. Despite this, I would recommend "Dynamic Figure Drawing" over this book. For starters, the first sixty pages are devoted to art history. Nothing wrong with this, but for people that want to get started on drawing the human figure, it's not necessary. Second, "Dynamic Figure Drawing" is more accessible for beginners. The forms of the body are broken down so the reader can see the shapes. I would buy this book after spending alot of time with "Dynamic Figure Drawing". There is relevant information in this book, but it's not for beginners.
